<shortdesc>The <option>odt</option> transformation creates a binary file using the OASIS Open
Document Format. </shortdesc>
<conbody>
<section><p>The <option>odt</option> transformation begins with pre-processing. It then runs either the
<codeph>dita.odt.package.topic</codeph> or <codeph>dita.odt.package.map</codeph> target, depending
on whether the input to the transformation is a DITA topic or a DITA map. The following description
focuses on the map process, which is made up of the following targets:<dl>
<dlentry>
<dt><codeph>dita.map.odt</codeph></dt>
<dd>Converts the map into a merged XML file using the Java-based <codeph>topicmerge</codeph> module.
Then an XSLT process converts the merged file into the <filepath>content.xml</filepath> file.</dd>
</dlentry>
<dlentry>
<dt><codeph>dita.map.odt.stylesfile</codeph></dt>
<dd>Reads the input DITA map, and then uses XSLT to create a <filepath>styles.xml</filepath> file in
the temporary directory.</dd>
</dlentry>
<dlentry>
<dt><codeph>dita.out.odt.manifest.file</codeph></dt>
<dd>Creates the <filepath>manifest.xml</filepath> file</dd>
</dlentry>
</dl></p>
<p>Once these targets have run, the generated files are zipped up together with other required files
to create the output ODT file.</p></section>
