Re: [oXygen-user] [OXYGEN-14072] Add custom catalog to OT build
Hi Scott, As you seem to have a custom DITA OT installation inside your custom framework, why don't you also use it as a default engine for publishing in the Oxygen Preferences->DITA page? Other than that, the DITA OT needs to have a plugin containing extra catalogs (or as a hack you need to manually make changes to the "catalog-dita.xml" inside the DITA OT). There is no possibility to enforce an extra set of XML catalogs from the exterior when starting the DITA OT. At some point I wished there was such a way: https://github.com/dita-ot/dita-ot/issues/1515 Also Jarno Elovirta experimented at some point with a way to install plugins in the DITA OT without the need to change any files in the DITA OT folder itself, this pull request was abandoned though: https://github.com/dita-ot/dita-ot/pull/3152 Regards, Radu Radu Coravu Oxygen XML Editor On 3/27/24 02:08, Scott Prentice wrote:

My Oxygen DITA settings still point to the "built-in" OT, so when I set up a transformation scenario for the Oxygen OT target, it starts to work, but fails when it can't find the custom DTD.
When I add a pointer from [OXYGEN]/org.dita.base/catalog-dita.xml that references my custom catalog, the build completes fine. BUT .. I don't want to modify the default Oxygen installation files.
Some thoughts ..
- I don't think there's a param that I can add to the transformation scenario to reference my custom catalog .. is there?
- I've tried adding my catalog in Settings > XML > XML Catalog .. but that didn't seem to have any affect.
Is there any way to add a custom catalog without editing the default Oxygen files?
Currently using Oxygen 25.1.
Thanks!

Thanks, Radu. Yes, I had seen those github discussions, and had hoped that maybe something had been implemented. Seems like a reasonable feature. We're trying to use the com.oxygenxml.pdf.css plugin, which I assume requires special licensing if used outside of the default install .. ? Will look into the options.
