<title>DITA to XHTML</title>
<shortdesc>The XHTML transform was the first transform created for
the DITA Open Toolkit; it converts DITA topics
into XHTML documents. In addition to the XHTML output, this transform
also returns a simple table of contents file named <filepath>index.html</filepath>,
which is based on the structure of the input map file.</shortdesc>
<conbody>
<p>XHTML output is always associated with the default DITA-OT CSS
stylesheet "<filepath>commonltr.css</filepath>" (or "<filepath>commonrtl.css</filepath>"
for right-to-left languages). Parameters are available to override
the default CSS styling.</p>
<p>To run the default XHTML transform, set the transform type parameter
to "xhtml". Many of the other transform types run the same conversion
to XHTML, followed by additional routines to create new navigation
files.</p>
<note>When running the demo script <filepath>build_demo.xml</filepath>,
setting the output type to "web" will run the default XHTML transform.</note><?Pub
