CustomizationWhen you just need a difference in output, you can use DITA customization
to override the default output without affecting portability or interchange,
and without involving specialization.
For example, if your readers are mostly experienced users, you could concentrate
on creating many summary tables, and maximizing retrievability; or if you
needed to create a brand presence, you could customize the transforms to apply
appropriate fonts and indent style, and include some standard graphics and
copyright links.
Use customization when you need new output, with no change to the underlying
semantics (you aren’t saying anything new or meaningful about the content,
only its display).
