DITA-OT transformations (output formats)
The DITA Open Toolkit ships with several core transformations that generate different output formats from
DITA content. Each transformation represents an implementation of the processing that is defined by OASIS in the
DITA specification.
DITA to Eclipse help The eclipsehelp transformation generates XHTML output, CSS files, and the control files that are needed for Eclipse help.DITA to HTML5 The html5 transformation generates HTML5 output and a table of contents (TOC) file.DITA to HTML Help (CHM) The htmlhelp transformation generates HTML output, CSS files, and the control files that are needed to produce a Microsoft HTML Help file.DITA to Java Help The javahelp transformation will generate Java Help output, along with the control files needed to compile the project.DITA to PDF (PDF2) The pdf (or pdf2 ) transformation generates PDF output.DITA to TocJS The tocjs transformation generates XHTML output, a frameset, and a JavaScript-based table of contents with expandable and collapsible entries. The transformation was originally created by Shawn McKenzie as a plug-in and was added to the default distribution in DITA-OT release 1.5.4.DITA to troff The troff transformation produces output for use with the troff viewer on Unix-style platforms, particularly for programs such as the man page viewer.DITA to XHTML The xhtml transformation generates XHTML output and a table of contents (TOC) file. This was the first transformation created for the DITA Open Toolkit, and originally served as the basis for all HTML-based transformations.
