DITA Open Toolkit Parameter Reference
The Parameter Reference is designed to help users to locate information easily
and quickly. It includes documentation for dita command arguments and options, DITA-OT
parameters, and configuration properties.
Arguments and options for the dita command The dita command takes mandatory arguments to process DITA content, manage plug-ins, or print information about the command. Options can be used to modify the command behavior or specify additional configuration parameters.DITA-OT parameters Certain parameters apply to all DITA-OT transformations. Other parameters are common to the HTML-based transformations. Some parameters apply only to specific transformation types. These parameters can be passed as options to the dita command using the --parameter =value syntax or included in build scripts as Ant properties.Configuration properties The DITA-OT uses .properties files and internal properties that store configuration settings for the toolkit and its plug-ins. Configuration properties are available to both Ant and Java processes, but unlike argument properties, they cannot be set at run time.
