|
|---|
| 41 | The DITA Open Toolkit (DITA-OT) is an open-source implementation of the OASIS specification for the Darwin Information Typing Architecture (DITA). The toolkit uses ANT, XSLT, and Java to implement transforming DITA content (maps and topics) into different deliverable formats.</li>

| 42 | <li class="link ulchildlink"><strong><a href="../dev_ref/extending-the-ot.html">Extending the DITA Open Toolkit</a></strong><br/>
|
|---|
| 43 | There are several methods that can be used to extend the toolkit; not all of them are recommended or supported. The best way to create most extensions is with a plug-in; extended documentation for creating plug-ins is provided in the next section.</li>

|
|---|
| 45 | The DITA OT uses <span class="ph filepath">.properties</span> files that store configuration settings for the DITA OT and its plug-ins. The configuration properties are available to both Ant and Java processes, but unlike argument properties, they cannot be set at run time.</li>

| 46 | <li class="link ulchildlink"><strong><a href="../dev_ref/plugins-overview.html">Creating DITA-OT plug-ins</a></strong><br/>
|
|---|
| 47 | The DITA Open Toolkit comes with a built in mechanism for adding in extensions through plug-ins. These plug-ins may do a wide variety of things, such as adding support for specialized DITA DTDs or Schemas, integrating processing overrides, or even providing entirely new output transforms. Plug-ins are the best way to extend the toolkit in a way that is consistent, easily sharable, and easy to preserve through toolkit upgrades.</li>
