About DITA Open Toolkit (DITA OT)

DITA Open Toolkit is a Java-based implementation of the OASIS DITA Technical Committee's specification for DITA DTDs and schemas. The Toolkit, which can be used in the Windows, Linux/UNIX, and Mac OS operating environments, transforms DITA content (maps and topics) into deliverable formats. The Toolkit uses Apache Ant for processing.

DITA Open Toolkit publishes to the following environments:

• Key targets
  
  • XHTML
  • HTML Help
  • PDF2 (processing using the Idiom plug-in and RenderX XEP)
  • Eclipse help
• Other targets
  
  • DocBook
  • Eclipse content
  • JavaHelp
  • PDF (processing using standard Toolkit functionality and Apache FOP)
    Note: The DITA Open Toolkit PDF transform, which was part of the 1.2.2 release, has been deprecated in favor of the PDF2 transform, which makes use of a plug-in from Idiom Technologies, Inc.
