Adding parameters to existing XSLT steps

Adding parameters to existing XSLT steps You can pass parameters from the Ant build to existing XSLT steps in both the pre-processing pipeline and certain DITA-OT transformations. This can be useful if you want to make the parameters available as global xsl:param values within XSLT overrides. xsl:param param dummy plug-insparameters parametersadding plug-insXSLT XSLTparameters Create an XML file that contains one or more Ant param elements nested within a dummy wrapper element. <dummy>  <param name="paramNameinXSLT" expression="${antProperty}" if="antProperty"/> </dummy>

Need a better example here, or replace the stepxmp with a generic code sample in an info element.

Construct a plugin.xml file that contains the following content: <plugin id="plugin-id"> <feature extension="extension-point" file="file"/> </plugin>where:

plugin-id is the plug-in identifier, for example, com.example.newparam.
extension-point is the DITA-OT extension point, for example, dita.conductor.xhtml.param. This indicates the DITA-OT processing step where the parameters will be available.
file is the name of the XML file that you created in step , for example, insertParameters.xml.

Install the plug-in. The plugin.xml file passes the parameters to the specified transformation or pre-processing module. Example

The following plug-in passes the parameters defined in the insertParameters.xml file as input to the XHTML process. Generally, an additional XSLT override will make use of the parameters to do something new with the generated content.
