DITA-OT Transformation

This type of transformation specifies the parameters for an Ant transformation that executes a DITA-OT build script. Oxygen XML Author Eclipse plugin includes a built-in version of Ant and a built-in version of DITA-OT, but other versions can be set in the scenario.

To create a DITA-OT Transformation scenario, use one of the following methods:
  • Use the Configure Transformation Scenario(s) (Alt + Shift + T, C (Command + Option + T, C on macOS)) action from the DITA Maps Manager toolbar, main toolbar, or the XML menu. Then click the New button and select DITA-OT Transformation.
  • Go to Window > Show View and select Transformation Scenarios to display this view. Click the New Scenario drop-down menu button and select DITA-OT Transformation.

Both methods open the DITA Transformation Type dialog box that presents the list of possible outputs.
