Same here, CHM version, but though I appreciate the Index to find elements, I use the CHM because that’s the only tool I know of that uses my OS colour theme (dark background, light font), at least for browsing the content. By the way, it would be quite nice if the HTML outputs (as far as I know CHM are generated from HTML) could be agnostic in this area and not set colours for fonts and backgrounds to improve integration with the user colour theme. In the meantime, I’ll probably make my own.

I do exactly the same as Kristen. I keep the CHM on my desktop. I send links to the XHTML online at OASIS. From: dita@lists.oasis-open.org [mailto:dita@lists.oasis-open.org] On Behalf Of Kristen James Eberlein Sent: Wednesday, September 12, 2012 8:35 AM To: dita@lists.oasis-open.org Subject: Re: [dita] Which version of the DITA 1.2 spec do you use, and why? I use the CHM file primarily. Once saved, it's available on-line and has a search and index view. I can search across the entire spec. I also can print out a topic collection.
I use the XHTML files (online from OASIS) when I want to send a link to someone.
I do not use the PDF.
I would be interested in having an ePub or other mobile format for easy use on my iPhone and iPad. Best, Kris

Chris The DITA 1.2 spec was delivered in the following formats: - XHTML hosted on the OASIS Web site
- CHM
- PDF
- DITA source
- ZIP of XHTML file that can be used locally (late addition, available from TC home page, probably no one knows about it)
Which format do you use? If you use multiple formats, when and why? -- Best, Kris
