<shortdesc>The <option>xhtml</option> transformation generates XHTML output and a table of contents (TOC) file. This
was the first transformation created for DITA Open Toolkit, and originally served as the basis for all HTML-based

<conbody>
<p>The XHTML output is always associated with the default DITA-OT CSS file (<filepath>commonltr.css</filepath> or
<filepath>commonrtl.css</filepath> for right-to-left languages). You can use toolkit parameters to add a custom
style sheet to override the default styles.</p>
<p>To run the XHTML transformation, set the <parmname>transtype</parmname> parameter to <option>xhtml</option>, or
pass the <parmname>--format</parmname>=<option>xhtml</option> option to the <cmdname>dita</cmdname> command
line.</p>
