Rebuilding the DITA-OT 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.
DITA-OT ships with a Gradle 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.
Attention: 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.
