Installing the DocBook-DITA plugin This plugin provides a transform from Docbook to DITA and some proof-of-concept examples of interoperability. You must install the DITA Open Toolkit 1.3 or higher and run a test build to verify the installation. It's also recommended that you install the DocBook tools at version 1.69.1 and the DocBook 4.4 DTDs. Other versions may work but haven't been tested. Edit the dbdita.properties file in the plugin directory to identify the location of the DocBook tools and document types. In the base directory for the DITA Open Toolkit, install the plugin.

You execute the following command (using blackslashes instead of slashes on Windows):

ant -f demo\dbdita\install-plugin.xml Verify the plugin installed correctly with a sample build.

You can execute the following command (again, using blackslashes instead of slashes on Windows):

ant -f demo\dbdita\run-ant.xml docbook2DITADemo

You can use the DocBook-to-DITA transform on your own DocBook content or explore the interoperability demos.
