After the pre-processing operation runs, XHTML-based builds each run a common series of
Ant targets to generate XHTML file. Navigation may be created before or after this set of common
routines.
After the pre-processing is completed, the following targets are run for all of the XHTML-based builds:
- If the arg.css parameter is passed to the build to add a CSS file, the
copy-css target copies the CSS file from its source location to the relative
location in the output directory.
- If a DITAVAL file is used, the copy-revflag target copies the default
start- and end-revision flags into the output directory.
- The DITA topics are converted to XHTML files. Unless the @chunk attribute was specified,
each DITA topic in the temporary directory now corresponds to one XHTML file.
Thedita.inner.topics.xhtml target is used to process documents that are in
the map directory (or subdirectories of the map directory). The
dita.outer.topics.xhtml target is used to process documents that are outside
of the scope of the map, and thus might end up outside of the designated output directory.
Various DITA-OT parameters control how documents processed by the
dita.outer.topics.xhtml target are handled.
