Generic DITA-OT type transformation scenario

Hi there,
We use ant to drive our build process for DocBook documents. I will therefore be creating DITA-OT-type transformation scenarios. I notice that there doesn't seem to be the option to include anything like
${ask('Message',input_type,'default_value')} as the value for a property like you can for the XSLT transformation scenarios.

So my feature request is:
1. Create a generic type of transformation scenario for kicking off ant scripts.
2. Make it possible to prompt the user for input to these as well.

Or perhaps this is all possible now and I just haven't figured it out yet :-)

Thanks,
David

Hi David,

For the first request, the issue is already logged to our issues list, the post will be updated when this gets done.
For the second request, maybe indeed it would be helpful to have these parameters also available in the DITA transformations, I added this as an enhancement request and I'll update the post when it gets implemented.

Regards,
Radu

Hello,

I just wanted to let you know that both features have been implemented in Oxygen 12.2.

What is new in <oXygen/> XML Editor 12.2
