Frequently asked questions #94

Thanks for the input, looks like a good starting point indeed. 👍 We have a similar issue on the site backlog, but that languished as one of the main difficulties of the FAQ format is that many of the questions are not really all that “frequently asked.” We'll discuss with the @dita-ot/docs team whether to include this within the docs, or elsewhere on the project website. |
Maybe then you can close this one as a duplicate. |
Actually, I'll close the other & leave this open, as I'd prefer to view this as a documentation issue. |

We would be happy to work on creating a FAQ page, and reuse @raducoravu -s blogpost as the seed of one. Are there any objections? |

Yes, exactly, thanks for the offer to use your blog as a starting point. |
@CsatariGergely Thanks for picking this one up. I'll reopen the issue. Radu's post is a good start. See also dita-ot/website#1 for additional suggestions. |
Hello, Do we want this to be a part of the documentation, or should it appear somewhere else on the website? What do you think?

What is the general architecture of the DITA Open Toolkit? What is a DITA Open Toolkit plugin? How do I customize the HTML-based outputs? How do I customize the PDF output? The list of questions that aren't included in the suggestion:

The java 6+ part is incorrect, the most recent DITA OT version requires Java 17 or later: |
@EditKoselak Thanks for picking this up.
We've gone back and forth on this over the years, but we discussed again and agreed that since the answers here aren't specific to any particular version of the docs, the content would probably be better published on the project website as originally suggested in dita-ot/website#1. So the next step would be to submit a pull request for the
This is an unrelated file from the DITA-OT PDF Plug-in Generator wiki, which is not included in the published version of the DITA-OT documentation. |
Hello, We've created a new pull request in the website's repo: dita-ot/website#805 |
Maybe you could have a DITA OT frequently asked questions topic in the documentation. I did something similar on my blog post:

You are welcomed to use any questions or answers you want from there, of course replacing links I made to Oxygen resources with links to the official docs.
