Using XSL Stylesheets from the DITA-OT HTML5 Plugin in a Transformation with Saxon Outside the Plugin

[Kévin L]

Hi !

I am working on a project (Java web app) that requires converting DITA documents into HTML5 using Saxon. 

Do you know if it is possible to utilize the XSL stylesheets from the DITA-OT HTML5 plugin in a transformation with Saxon outside of the plugin ? 

It seems that the XSLs in the plugins are looking for attributes added during preprocess stage (like dita-ot:x), and without them the result may be compromised... am I right ?

Thanks

Best Regards

Kévin

Hi,

The DITA OT has a preprocessing stage which resolves content references, key references, references to submaps, expands default attributes. And after that the XSLTs are applied. 

So the answer is "no". Ideally you should run the "DITA-OT/bin/dita" executable as an external process passing it parameters from your  application.

In the future I suggest you use this list "https://github.com/dita-ot/dita-ot/issues" for asking DITA OT related problems.

Regards,

Radu
