DITA Open Toolkit
The DITA Open Toolkit, or DITA-OT, is an open-source publishing system for publishing DITA content to multiple formats. It was developed by IBM, and released to open source in 2005[1].
The DITA-OT reference implementation uses Ant, Java, and XSLT[2].
The DITA-OT can be extended to produce arbitrary output formats. Out of the box, it produces:
- PDF, through XSL-FO
- XHTML
- Microsoft Compiled HTML Help
- Eclipse Help
- JavaHelp
- Oracle Help
- Rich Text Format
- troff
Some DITA authoring tools and CMSs, such as Oxygen XML Editor, XMetaL, Arbortext, Syntext Serna, and easyDITA now 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.
