DITA Open Toolkit Parameters


DITA administrators can modify the DITA Open Toolkit (DITA-OT) behavior by setting options on parameter settings. Access these parameters from the Common Parameters and Advanced Parameters tabs.

See DITA Open Toolkit Parameters for details about parameters.

Important
Keep in mind that these parameters may have nuanced differences from version to version of the DITA-OT, so be sure to match the DITA-OT documentation version you reference with the installed DITA-OT version.

Common Parameters

The Common Parameters tab provides the parameters for the following:

General
General parameters apply to all DITA transformation output formats supported by the DITA-OT. The Common Parameters tab displays the most common parameters. See DITA-OT: Common Parameters for details about each parameter.
PDF
PDF parameters apply to only DITA PDF transformation output format types. The Common Parameters tab displays the most common PDF parameters. See DITA-OT: PDF Parameters for details about each parameter.

Advanced Parameters

The Advanced Parameters tab provides a list parameters that currently apply to CMS DITA-OT transformations. Parameter list details include:

Name
The DITA-OT name of the parameter.
Output Format(s)
The DITA-OT output formats where the parameter applies. If the Output Format(s) entry lists common, this indicates the parameter applies to most (if not all) DITA output formats.
Value

If a parameter does not display in the list, DITA administrators can access the Add DITA-OT Parameters dialog to browse additional parameters to add. This dialog provides a broader list of available DITA-OT parameter options.
