Rebuilding the DITA-OT documentation Rebuilding documentation When you add or remove plug-ins, you can rebuild the documentation to update the information on the extension points, messages, and parameters that are available in your environment. macOS gradle rebuilding documentation Linux gradle rebuilding documentation Windows gradlew rebuilding documentation

DITA-OT ships with a build script that enables you to rebuild the toolkit documentation. The 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/ subdirectory of the DITA-OT installation. Run one of the following commands. On Linux and macOS: ./gradlew target On Windows: gradlew.bat target

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

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