Integrate a specialization into the Output Generator

After you integrate a specialization into IXIASOFT CCMS, you must also integrate it into the Output Generator so that the DITA Open Toolkit instance within the Output Generator can process topics that use the specialized elements or attributes.

These steps assume you have a custom DTD plugin within your system configuration and that you have previously integrated that plugin into the Output Generator. These steps also assume that you have already integrated the specialization into your custom DTD plugin.

  1. If integrating the specialization into IXIASOFT CCMS required you to copy a folder into the Repository/system/plugins folder (such as the example FAQ specialization), copy that same folder into the data/%OT_Dir%/plugins folder.

    Depending on your Output Generator configuration, the DITA-OT path might vary.

  2. Copy com.company.dtd from Repository/system/plugins to the DTD plugin folder in the Output Generator, overwriting the existing plugin.
  3. Run the integrator.

The specialization is now integrated into the Output Generator and you can successfully generate output that includes the new topics, elements, or attributes.
