Transforming DITA Maps

<oXygen/> uses the DITA Open Toolkit (DITA-OT) to transform XML content into an output format. For this purpose both the DITA Open Toolkit 1.4.3 and ANT 1.7 come bundled in <oXygen/>.

Available Output Formats

You can publish DITA-based documents in any of the following formats:

XHTML

DITA Map to XHTML

PDF - DITA OT

DITA Map to PDF using the DITA OT default PDF target

PDF2 - IDIOM FO Plugin

DITA Map to PDF using the DITA OT IDIOM PDF plugin

HTML Help (CHM)

DITA Map to HTML Help. If you have installed HTML Help Workshop, <oXygen/> detect and use this. At the end of the transformation the chm file will be open. Otherwise an error message is displayed, but the hhp(HTML Help Project) file will be generated and you have to compile to obtain a chm file.

Note that HTML Help Workshop fails when the files used for transformation contains diacritics in name. This problem appear because the hhp file is generated with UTF8 encoding, and the hhc file read this file with another encoding.
