text formatting in DITA

[Vicki38950098ejye]

I have a DITA Concept xml file.  I want to be able to change the font for a tag.

In this case, my title element is Calibri 24 pt.  This must be the default.

When I change it to Arial 14 pt and 'save' it, it doesn't save.

I open it again, and it is the Calibri font.

How can I get the styling or formatting that I want in DITA?

Thank you,
Vicki

Hi,

Rick Quatro said in this thread where the template files are:

https://community.adobe.com/t5/framemaker-discussions/changes-to-structured-output-templates-can-t-b...

C:\Users\<UserName>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\FrameMaker\<Version>\ditafm-output.ini

Open it with a text editor and find the TemplateDir key:

[General Options]
SavePDFViaBookRoute=0
;template dir can be absolute path or appended with $STRUCTDIR or relative to installed directory
TemplateDir=C:\Users\rick\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\FrameMaker\17\CustomTemplates

I do not use DITA, and I do not know, if there are other types of templates.

Best regards, Winfried

Hi,
The 2 video links are the same video, and video is title:   Customize FrameMaker DITA Templates

In the video he talks about customizing attributes and the id attribute to an element, in particular.

The other link talks about changes fonts and doing it at the output template.
'I want to change the default font in my Structured Output templates.'

I want to change my font from Calibri to Ariel in the DITA xml file.
I imported Paragraph Designer and applied the font style I wanted, and saved.

But when I open it again, it has reverted back to Calibri.

Can I only change my fonts in an output style sheet?

Thank you,

Vicki
