DITA Open Toolkit User Guide

the DITA-OT. It is geared for an audience that needs information about running the toolkit, generating output, and
troubleshooting builds.
Publishing DITA content You can use either the dita command-line tool or Ant to transform DITA content to the various output formats that are supported by the DITA Open Toolkit.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 specification support DITA Open Toolkit 2.5 supports all versions of the OASIS DITA specification, including 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, and 1.3.Globalizing DITA content The DITA standard supports content that is written in or translated to any language. In general, the DITA Open Toolkit passes content through to the output format unchanged. The DITA-OT uses the values for the @xml:lang and @dir attributes that are set in the source content to provide globalization support.Error messages and troubleshooting This section contains information about problems that you might encounter and how to resolve them.
