       <lq><cite>DITA for Print</cite> is for anyone who wants to learn how to create PDFs using the DITA Open Toolkit
-        without learning everything that there is to know about XSL-FO, XSLT, or XPath, or even about the DITA Open
-        Toolkit itself. <cite>DITA for Print</cite> is written for non-programmers, by a non-programmer, and although it
-        is written for people who have a good understanding of the DITA standard, you don't need a technical background
-        to get custom PDFs up and running quickly.</lq>

       <note type="important">
-        <cite>DITA for Print</cite> recommends copying entire files from the PDF2 plug-in to your custom plug-in. The
-        DITA-OT project does not recommend this practice. Instead, we suggest you copy only the specific attribute sets
-        and templates that you want to override. Following this practice will more cleanly isolate your customizations
-        from the DITA-OT code, which will make it easier for you to update your plug-ins to work with future versions of
-        the DITA-OT.</note>

       <p>Authored by Eliot Kimber and published by XML Press, this seminal resource contains a chapter dedicated to the
         DITA Open Toolkit: “Running, Configuring, and Customizing the Open Toolkit”. In addition to a robust overview of
         DITA-OT customization and extension, the chapter contains a detailed example of customizing a PDF plug-in to
-        specify 7" x 10" paper size and custom fonts for body text and headers.</p>

       <p>The DITA-OT chapter in <cite>DITA for Practitioners: Volume 1</cite> was written for DITA-OT 1.5.4, which was
         the latest stable version at the time it was written.</p>
