Building your own content using the demo build

DITA Open Toolkit 1.8.4

Building your own content using the demo build

You can use the demo build to generate output for your own DITA content.

Procedure

Results

The DITA-OT generates output for the specified DITA content. It runs the transformation that you specified, and writes the output to the directory that you specified.

What to do next

Explore invoking the DITA-OT from either Ant or the command-line tool. This enables you to specify a wider array of parameters than those supported by the demo build.

Using Ant or the command-line tool, you can perform the following tasks (and more):
  • Add a custom CSS file to the transformation
  • Generate labels for the sections of task topics
  • Specify that draft comments are included in the output
  • Turn on "Related link" sections in a PDF file
