DITA-OT Transformation
This type of transformation specifies the parameters for an Ant transformation that executes a DITA-OT build script. Oxygen XML Author 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) (Ctrl + Shift
+ C (Command + Shift + C on macOS)) action from the
DITA Maps Manager toolbar, main toolbar, or the menu. Then click the New button and select
DITA-OT Transformation. - Go to 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.
Select the desired type of output and click OK. This opens the New Scenario dialog box.
The upper part of the dialog box
allows you to specify the Name of the transformation scenario and the
following Storage options:
- Project Options - The scenario is stored in the project file and can be shared with other users. For example, if your project is saved on a source versioning/sharing system (CVS, SVN, Source Safe, etc.) or a shared folder, your team can use the scenarios that you store in the project file.
- Global Options - The scenario is saved in the global options that are stored in the user home directory and is not accessible to other users.
The lower part of the dialog box contains several tabs that allow you to configure the options that control the transformation.
