The Content Wrangler Community Summer School Silicon Valley 2012

The DITA Open Toolkit

Course-at-a-glance: This course provides a hands-on approach to learning how to modify the DITA Open Toolkit and build DITA Open Toolkit plugins. By the end of the course, students can create a DITA specialization and a new transformation type.
 
The course opens with an introduction to XSLT and Apache Ant, which are fundamental to working with the DITA Open Toolkit. The course then introduces the components of the DITA Open Toolkit, which leads to an overview of how the Open Toolkit works.
 
Next is an overview of the plugin architecture and the four main areas that can be modified via plugins:
  • DTD and schema (DITA specializations)
  • new transformation types
  • Apache Ant processing changes
  • XSLT overrides
Finally, students create plugins for a DITA specialization and a new transformation type.
 
Before taking this class, students must be familiar with XML, DITA, and HTML. Some prior programming experience is helpful.

Laptop required.
