<conbody>
<p>DITA-OT uses Ant to manage the XSLT scripts that are used to perform the various transformation; it also uses Ant
to manage intermediate steps that are written in Java. </p>
<p>The most important Ant script is the <filepath>build.xml</filepath> file. This script defines and combines common
pre-processing and output transformation routines; it also defines the DITA-OT extension points.</p>
