XMetal problem--doesn't recognize DTD

Hello,

I've been using XMetal 4.6 Author to write and edit topics in DITA for a couple of months. Earlier this week I replaced my computer. After installing XMetal to my new computer, to my astonishment I found that it isn't working as expected with the DTD.

Using an XSL-FO to PDF converter other than FOP to work with the DITA Toolkit

Hey all,

Just started working with the DITA ToolKit, and I've been assigned to onfigure it to use a different PDF renderer than the default FOP.

Great start :)

Nice effort guys. Great to see another Drupal site.

As a long time DITA lurker (but not quite user yet) and Drupal user, I've been entertaining occassional thoughts about possible ways of integrating the two for a while now. It's been a fairly low priority so far, but maybe with some other interested parties, I might be prodded into actual action ;)

Anyway, best of luck with the site and I hope the community really takes off from here.
