- <div class="body conbody"><p class="shortdesc">DITA Open Toolkit <span class="keyword">2.3</span> supports the DITA 1.2 specification. Initial support for this
- specification was added in version 1.5 of the toolkit; versions 1.5.1 and 1.5.2 contain minor modifications to keep
- up with the latest drafts. The specification itself was approved at approximately the same time as DITA-OT 1.5.2,
- which contained the final versions of the DTD and Schemas. DITA-OT 1.6 updated the DITA 1.2 XSDs to address minor
- errata in the standard; the DTDs remain up to date.</p>
- <p class="p">Earlier versions of the DITA Open Toolkit contained a subset of the specification material, including
- descriptions of each DITA element. This material was shipped in source, CHM and PDF format. This was possible in
- part because versions 1.0 and 1.1 of the DITA Specification contained two separate specification documents: one
- for the architectural specification, and one for the language specification.</p>
- <p class="p">In DITA 1.2, each of these has been considerably expanded, and the two have been combined into a single document.
- The overall document is much larger, and including the same set of material would double the size of the DITA-OT
- package. Rather than include that material in the package, we’ve provided the links below to the latest
- specification material.</p>
- <div class="p">Highlights of DITA 1.2 support in the toolkit include:<ul class="ul">
- <li class="li">Processing support for all new elements and attributes</li>
- <li class="li">Link redirection and text replacement using keyref</li>
- <li class="li">New processing-role attribute in maps to allow references to topics that will not produce output
- artifacts</li>
- <li class="li">New conref extensions, including the ability to reference a range of elements, to push content into another
- topic, and to use keys for resolving a conref attribute.</li>
- <li class="li">The ability to filter content with controlled values and taxonomies, using the new Subject Scheme Map</li>
- <li class="li">Processing support for both default versions of task (original, limited task, and the general task with
- fewer constraints on element order)</li>
- <li class="li">Acronym and abbreviation support with the new <abbreviated-form> element</li>
- <li class="li">New link grouping abilities available with headers in relationship tables</li>
- <li class="li">OASIS Subcommittee specializations from the learning and machine industry domains (note that the core
- toolkit contains only basic processing support for these, but can be extended to produce related artifacts
- such as SCORM modules)</li>
- </ul></div>
- <p class="p">To find detailed information about any of these features, see the specification documents at OASIS. The DITA
- Adoption Technical Committee has also produced several papers to describe individual new features. In general, the
- white papers are geared more towards DITA users and authors, while the specification is geared more towards tool
- implementors, though both may be useful for either audience. The DITA Adoption papers can be found from that TC’s
- main web page.</p>
