DITA specification support

DITA Open Toolkit 2.3 supports all versions of the OASIS DITA specification, including 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, and 1.3.

DITA 1.2 support
DITA Open Toolkit 2.3 supports the DITA 1.2 specification. Initial support for this specification was added in version 1.5 of the toolkit; versions 1.5.1 and 1.5.2 contain minor modifications to keep up with the latest drafts. The specification itself was approved at approximately the same time as DITA-OT 1.5.2, which contained the final versions of the DTD and Schemas. DITA-OT 1.6 updated the DITA 1.2 XSDs to address minor errata in the standard; the DTDs remain up to date.
DITA 1.3 support
DITA Open Toolkit 2.3 provides processing support for the OASIS DITA 1.3 specification. Initial preview support for this specification was added in version 2.0 of the toolkit; version 2.2 extends this foundation to support key scopes and branch filtering along with additional DITA 1.3 features.
Implementation-dependent features
For certain features, the DITA specification allows conforming processors to choose between different implementation alternatives. In these cases, there may be differences in behavior when DITA content is handled by different processors. DITA-OT supports implementation-specific features by applying one or more of the permissible processing approaches.
Extended functionality
DITA-OT provides additional code reference processing support beyond that which is mandated by the DITA specification. These extensions can be used to define character encodings or line ranges for use in code blocks.

DITA Open Toolkit is released under the Apache License, Version 2.0.
