I’ve created a two-pane XHTML publishing output using DITA-OT 1.4.3. This XHTML Knowledgebase has a search facility and JavaScript collapsible TOC, both of which were implemented using custom plugins to the vanilla DITA-OT v1.4.3.  I’d like to be able to use this output format alongside our other outputs from Oxygen.

 

To publish my output I have to run the following within a DOS shell

 

ant -f my_build_file.xml

 

Oxygen runs transformations as follows

 

"c:\program files\oxygen xml editor 10.3\jre/bin/java" -Xmx256m -classpath "C:\Program Files\Oxygen XML Editor 10.3/tools/ant/lib/ant-launcher.jar" etc ... ... ...

 

1)      Can I my ‘ant’ scripts directly with oXygen‘s version of DITA-OT?

2)      Do I need to change my build file to be run using Java at command line?

3)      How do I integrate custom build files with oXygen?

4)      Can I integrate plugins into the DITA-OT version that’s shipped with oXygen?

 

Thanks

John
