All DITA-OT extension points

The pre-defined extension points can be used to add new functionality to DITA-OT. If your toolkit installation includes custom plug-ins that define additional extension points, you can add to this list by rebuilding the DITA-OT documentation.

  • dita.conductor.target

    Adds an Ant import to the main Ant build file.

    Tip: As of DITA-OT 3.0, the ant.import extension point can be used instead.
