To use Ant extension points for WebHelp Responsive, follow these steps:

In the DITA-OT-DIR/plugins/ folder, create a folder for this plugin (for example, com.oxygenxml.webhelp.responsive.custom.ant.extensions).
Create a plugin.xml file (in the folder you created in step 1) that extends the WebHelp Responsive plugin and specifies an Ant extension point with your custom Ant project file that contains the new build targets. For example:
```
<plugin id="com.oxygenxml.webhelp.responsive.custom.ant.extensions">
     <require plugin="com.oxygenxml.webhelp.responsive"/>
    <feature extension="ant.import" file="custom_build_file.xml"/>    
</plugin>
```

Create the custom_build_file.xml file (in the folder you created in step 1) that contains your custom Ant project implementing one or more extension points:

<project name="custom.ant.extensions.integrator" basedir=".">
    <target name="custom-whr-init-pre" extensionOf="whr-init-pre">
        <echo>Extension point that executes before whr-init</echo>
    </target>
    <target name="custom-whr-init-post" extensionOf="whr-init-post">
        <echo>Extension point that executes after whr-init</echo>
    </target>
</project>

Integrate the plugin into the DITA-OT. In the DITA-OT-DIR/bin directory of the DITA Open Toolkit, run one of the following scripts, depending on your operating system:
- Windows
- Linux/macOS
DITA-OT-DIR/bin/dita.bat --install
sh DITA-OT-DIR/bin/dita --install
Execute a DITA Map to WebHelp Responsive transformation script.
