<title>Common HTML-based processing</title>

<shortdesc>After the pre-processing operation runs, HTML-based builds each run a common series of Ant targets to

generate HTML file. Navigation may be created before or after this set of common routines.</shortdesc>

<conbody>

<p>After the pre-processing is completed, the following targets are run for all of the HTML-based builds:</p>

<p>

<ul>

<li>If the <parmname>args.css</parmname> parameter is passed to the build to add a CSS file, the

<codeph>copy-css</codeph> target copies the CSS file from its source location to the relative location in

the output directory.</li>

<li>If a DITAVAL file is used, the <codeph>copy-revflag</codeph> target copies the default start- and

end-revision flags into the output directory.</li>

<li>The DITA topics are converted to HTML files. Unless the <xmlatt>chunk</xmlatt> attribute was specified, each

DITA topic in the temporary directory now corresponds to one HTML file. The

<codeph>dita.inner.topics.xhtml</codeph> target is used to process documents that are in the map directory

(or subdirectories of the map directory). The <codeph>dita.outer.topics.xhtml</codeph> target is used to

process documents that are outside of the scope of the map, and thus might end up outside of the designated

output directory. Various DITA-OT parameters control how documents processed by the

<codeph>dita.outer.topics.xhtml</codeph> target are handled.</li>

</ul>
