Rebuilding the DITA-OT documentation Rebuilding documentation The DITA-OT ships with Ant scripts that enable you to rebuild the toolkit documentation. This is especially helpful if your environment contains plug-ins that add new extension points, messages, or parameters to the toolkit.

The documentation build script reads the toolkit’s plug-in configuration and automatically regenerates topics and properties file templates based on the extension points, messages, and parameters provided by the installed plug-ins.

If you have installed new plug-ins, you may need to add the corresponding generated topics to the DITA maps to include the new information in the output. Change to the docsrc directory. Run the following command: ant -f build.xml target

The target parameter is optional and specifies a transformation type. It takes the following values:

If you do not specify an Ant target, HTML5 and PDF output is generated.
