DITA Open Toolkit
The DITA Open Toolkit (DITA-OT) is an open-source publishing system for publishing DITA.[1] It produces:[2]
- Docbook
- Eclipse Help
- JavaHelp
- Microsoft Compiled HTML Help
- ODT
- PDF, through XSL-FO
- troff
- Word RTF (with some limitations)
- XHTML and XHTML with a JavaScript frameset
The DITA-OT can be also extended to produce arbitrary output formats. It includes a tool for migrating HTML to DITA.
Developed by IBM and released to open source in 2005,[3] the distribution packages contain Ant, Apache FOP, Java, Saxon, and Xerces.
Most DITA authoring tools and DITA CMSs integrate the DITA-OT, or parts of it, into their publishing workflows.
Standalone tools have also been developed to run the DITA-OT via a graphical user interface instead of the command line.
