Building a custom publishing process
Each output format has a widely customizable publishing process thanks to the post-process plugins system.
There may be two aspects to customizing the publishing process:
- Customizing the DITA-OT steps via the files in <drive>:\InfoShare<project>\App<project>\Utilities\DITA-OT\<company name>\plugins\. This is described in the Content Manager configuration section of this documentation.
- Customizing the post-process plugins used for publishing to a specific output format. This is by far the most powerful and flexible publishing customization available.
To perform any post-process plugin customization, adding, removing or modifying plugins:
- Sign in to Organize Space.
- On the top tab level, select the Settings tab.
- On the second tab level, select the XML Settings tab.
- On the third tab level, select the Publish Plug-ins tab.
- Locate the appropriate output format
<postprocess>section (e.g.<postprocess ishcondition="ISHOutputFormat.FDITAOTTRANSTYPE='ishditadelivery'">for the Dynamic Delivery output format. - Alternatively, create a
<postprocess>section if you create a new output format. - Make the changes.
