<title>Known Limitations</title>
<shortdesc>Below are some known limitations categorized by module
within the current release of the DITA Open Toolkit.</shortdesc>
<refbody>
<section>       <title>Transformation to PDF and Word RTF</title> 
     <ol>
<li>You can change the styles of the output file by using tools in <tm
tmclass="special" tmowner="Microsoft Corporation" tmtype="reg"
trademark="Microsoft">Microsoft</tm> Word rather than specifying the
styles before transforming.</li>
<li>If there is a cross reference referring to an URL in the DITA
source file, the link should be completed defined with the proper
internet protocol. For example, specify <userinput>http://www.ibm.com</userinput> instead
of <userinput>www.ibm.com</userinput>.</li>
<li>Flagging, revision bar and filtering are not supported in PDF
and Word RTF output.</li>
<li>The morerows attribute of the table element used to generate vertically
merged cell is not supported in PDF output.</li>
<li>Style attributes for table are not supported in Word RTF output.</li>
<li>Complex cases dealing with tables in lists are not supported in
Word RTF.</li>
<li>There may be no output style applied on contents of some tags
in Word RTF output compared with other output.</li>
</ol>     </section>
<section>       <title>HTML to DITA migration</title>       <ol>
<li>Since Xalan doesn&apos;t allow to set the public and system IDs
dynamically using a variable, when Xalan is used as the default XSLT
processor, the output will contain: <codeblock>&lt;!DOCTYPE topic PUBLIC &quot;{$publicid}&quot; &quot;{$systemid}&quot;&gt;</codeblock><p>Suggest
to use Saxon as the processor to fix this problem. For other information
on this problem, see the section &quot;Other general migration notes&quot;
in the first developerWorks article.</p></li>
<li>Currently, the stylesheet can&apos;t handle HTML files within
namespace like below: <codeblock>&lt;html xmlns=&quot;http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&quot;&gt;</codeblock><note>This
limitation has been fixed in release 1.2.1, please refer to the <xref
href="DITA-h2d.xml"></xref> for detail information.</note></li>
