DITA to XHTML

DITA Open Toolkit

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 it is the basis for all the HTML-based transformations.

The XHTML output is always associated with the default DITA-OT CSS file (commonltr.css or commonrtl.css for right-to-left languages). You can use toolkit parameters to add a custom style sheets to override the default styles.

To run the XHTML transformation, set the transtype parameter to xhtml. If you are running the demo build, specify web rather than xhtml.
