If you are not familiar with Ant, you can use the command
line to perform the transformations. The DITA Open Toolkit creates
a properties file (property.temp) that contains
the information that you provided at the command line and then passes
the property file to Ant. The properties file is saved in the args.logdir directory.
- Run either the startcmd.bat or startcmd.sh file.
- From the command prompt, type the following string and
press Enter:
java -jar lib/dost.jar /i:input_file /outdir:output_directory /transtype:transformation [options]
where
- input_file is the name of the DITA file or
DITA map that is the input for the transformation.
- output_directory is the directory where the
DITA Open Toolkit writes the output of the transformation.
- transformation is one of the following options:
- docbook
- eclipsecontent
- eclipsehelp
- htmlhelp
- javahelp
- pdf
- troff
- wordrtf
- xhtml
- [options] are optional parameters.
