Print RTF

DITA2Go handles styles, tables, and graphics. See §15. Converting to print RTF for more information.

WinHelp RTF

You can configure and generate WinHelp RTF with DITA2Go; and if you have access to Help Workshop (unfortunately no longer available from Microsoft) you can compile WinHelp files that need no further tweaking. DITA2Go produces all the files you need, including a TOC, an Index, and a Help project file. See:

§17. Generating WinHelp.

HTML-based Help

You can use DITA2Go to configure and generate several flavors of HTML-based Help. DITA2Go produces all the files you need, typically including TOC, Index, and a Help project file. For the two Java formats, DITA2Go prepares the map file; for HTML Help, the aliases file. See:

§18. Generating Microsoft HTML Help

§19. Generating OmniHelp

§20. Generating JavaHelp or Oracle Help

§21. Generating Eclipse Help.

HTML and XML

DITA2Go can produce HTML 4.01, XHTML 1.0, and XML 1.0 files from your DITA document, and also create Cascading Style Sheets. You can include arbitrary JavaScript anywhere in HTML output. You can produce ePub input from DITA2Go XHTML output. See:

§22. Converting to HTML/XHTML

§23. Converting to generic XML.

DITA and DocBook

DITA2Go can produce DITA XML and DocBook XML from DITA documents. See:

§24. Converting to DITA XML

§26. Converting to DocBook XML.

PDF

DITA2Go produces PDF output indirectly, through a Word macro; once you have that in place, you can generate PDF output with one click. See:

§15.1.5 Producing PDF automatically via Word

Intermediate format

You can run a DITA2Go conversion in two stages, stopping the first part of the process when DCL files have been created. You can use the intermediate files for other purposes, or modify them and then run DITA2Go again to continue the conversion.
