| 80 | Typically, DITA Open Toolkit is used to publish modular manuals to diverse target formats. A key advantage of DITA Open Toolkit is the flexibility, allowing simple changes like borders, margins and fonts by accessible parameters, while giving style sheet designers the possibility to replace any of the standard templates by custom XSL. This combination of accessibility and power makes DITA Open Toolkit a good approach for other data sources as well. |

| 82 | We have built a model case, together with a partner, that consists of two parts: |
| 83 | * Product data and associated documentation managed in the Open Source [wiki:Public/StartPagePim PIM system] [https://pimcore.com/ pimcore] is automatically exported to DITA, containing attributes controlling the layout rules to be applied. |
| 84 | * A matching DITA Open Toolkit PDF style sheet to publish the documentation. |
| 85 | |
| 86 | While we have the [https://pimcore.com/ pimcore] based solution ready to use, it can be adapted to other data sources with moderate effort. |
