5 Make PDF plug-in extensible - ID: 2881996
Last Update: Comment added ( rdanderson )

The DITA-OT allows plug-ins to add extension points, so that new plug-ins
can add additional processing.

The PDF plug-in, which is now the core PDF code in the toolkit, is not
currently extensible. We should add an extension point to the plug-in, and
create the following template files to let code hook in to the process:
topic2fo_shell_template.xsl
topic2fo_shell_1.0_template.xsl.

The deprecated XSL-FO based output used the extension point "dita.xsl.fo",
so that is already taken. I'm initially suggesting "dita.xsl.xslfo" as the
extension point for the current code, but am open to suggestions.

If you want to pull a sample directly from CVS, the music plug-in has now
been updated to demonstrate how to override PDF. It contains a specialized
table, and the override creates generated headings, as well as adding empty
cells to the table output when entries are missing in the source.

The full plug-in will be rebuilt soon and placed on the download page, but
I want to update a few more files first. For now, you can get the working
code directly from CVS.

I'll work on putting a sample together - I have one locally but need to get
it into an easily readable form.
