Setting DITA Open Toolkit parameters

You can adjust the behavior of the DITA Open Toolkit via dita command arguments and options, DITA-OT parameters settings, and configuration properties.

Arguments and options for the dita command
The dita command takes mandatory arguments to process DITA content, manage plug-ins, or print information about the command. Options can be used to modify the command behavior or specify additional configuration parameters.
DITA-OT parameters
Certain parameters apply to all DITA-OT transformations. Other parameters are common to the HTML-based transformations. Some parameters apply only to specific transformation types. These parameters can be passed as options to the dita command using the --parameter=value syntax or included in build scripts as Ant properties.
Configuration properties
The DITA-OT uses .properties files and internal properties that store configuration settings for the toolkit and its plug-ins. Configuration properties are available to both Ant and Java processes, but unlike argument properties, they cannot be set at run time.

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