Publishing DITA content

You can use either Ant or the command-line tool to transform DITA content to the various output formats that are supported by the DITA Open Toolkit (DITA-OT).

DITA-OT transformations
The DITA Open Toolkit (DITA-OT) ships with several core transformations. Each core transformation represents an implementation of all processing that is defined by OASIS in the DITA specification.
Publishing DITA content with dita command
DITA-OT includes a dita command-line tool. You can invoke the DITA-OT from the command-line tool and generate output.
Publishing DITA content from Ant
You can use Ant to invoke the DITA Open Toolkit (DITA-OT) and generate output. This is the most robust method of transforming DITA content; you can use the complete set of parameters that are supported by the toolkit.
Publishing DITA content from the command-line tool
The DITA Open Toolkit (DITA-OT) includes a command-line tool designed for users who are unfamiliar with Ant. You can invoke the DITA-OT from the command-line tool and generate output. This method is less robust than Ant.
