General extension points

These extension points enable you to extend DITA-OT. You can add Ant targets or imports; add a Java library to the classpath parameter; add a new transformation type; extend a catalog file; add new diagnostic messages, and more.

ant.import
Adds an Ant import to the main Ant build file.
dita.conductor.lib.import
Adds a Java library to the DITA-OT classpath.
dita.conductor.target
Adds an Ant import to the main Ant build file.
Attention:
This extension point is deprecated; use ant.import instead.
dita.conductor.target.relative
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.
dita.conductor.transtype.check

Adds a new value to the list of valid transformation types.

Tip:
This extension point is still supported for backwards compatibility, but since DITA-OT 2.1, any new customizations should instead use the <transtype> element in the Plug-in descriptor file to define a new transformation.
dita.specialization.catalog
Adds the content of a catalog file to the main DITA-OT catalog file.
Attention:
This extension point is deprecated; use dita.specialization.catalog.relative instead.
dita.specialization.catalog.relative
Adds the content of a catalog file to the main DITA-OT catalog file.
dita.transtype.print
Defines a transformation as a print type.
dita.xsl.messages
Adds new diagnostic messages to DITA-OT.
org.dita.pdf2.catalog.relative
Adds the content of a catalog file to the main catalog file for the PDF plug-in.
