  19. <p>The DITA-OT uses Ant to manage the XSLT scripts that are used to perform the various transformation; it also uses
  20. Ant to manage intermediate steps that are written in Java. </p>
  21. <p>The most important Ant script is the <filepath>build.xml</filepath> file. This script defines and combines common
  22. pre-processing and output transformation routines; it also defines the DITA-OT extension points.</p>
