Publish process phase 2

Phase 2 of the publish process prepares data for the DITA-OT.

The repository output in preparation for DITA-OT transformation process includes:
  • Renaming the DITAMAP files from xml to DITAMAP
  • Resolving the GUID's used by repository into corresponding filenames
  • When required, combining the same publication in multiple languages; requires extra processing to make sure that hyperlinks/anchors are unique
The DITA-OT transformation process note:
  • The default filesystem location is \infoshare\app<projectsuffix\Utilities\DITA-OT\Infoshare
  • DITA-OT is part of the layout (engine, SAXON version, stylesheets...)
  • Default PDFcompiler is AntennaHouse XSLFormatter
