I'm looking for a method to specifiy a root map (or context map) to a
DITA topic conversion.
I see in documentation it's possible to set a filter (using a ditaval)
and attributes values (with a subjectScheme) to the
com.xmlmind.ditac.preprocess.PreProcessor (we embed ditac in our java
application).
Yes, that's right. See also -filter and -attrvalues command-line options
in https://www.xmlmind.com/ditac/_distrib/doc/manual/commandLine.html
The ditac command-line basically gives the user a simple way to access
all the features implemented by
com.xmlmind.ditac.preprocess.PreProcessor. Therefore if a feature is not
implemented (and documented) by the ditac command-line, then this means
that it is not implemented by com.xmlmind.ditac.preprocess.PreProcessor.
We want to set keywords definitions as we can do it with a DITA root map
and avoid errors like :
cannot resolve conkeyref="brand/estate_model_name" and there is
no"conref" fallback attribute
Is this feature available ?
Unlike what is implemented for ".ditaval" files and subjectScheme map
files, there is no way to *externally* specify a map defining a number
of keys.
Such ancillary map must be referenced directly or indirectly from the
map of the document to be converted using a <topicref> of some kind.
Real example:
help.ditamap (contains the document to be converted):
---
<map>
<title>Online help</title>
<mapref href="keys.ditamap" processing-role="resource-only"/>
<topicref href="mainWindow.dita">
<topicref href="consoleMode.dita"/>
</topicref>
<topicref href="protocol.dita"/>
...
<topicref href="troubleshooting.dita"/>
</map>
---
where keys.ditamap contains only key definitions:
---
<map>
<title>Key definitions</title>
<topichead navtitle="Variables">
<keydef keys="controlApp" navtitle="Name of the control application.">
<topicmeta>
<linktext><tt>controlapp</tt></linktext>
</topicmeta>
</keydef>
...
<keydef keys="serviceName" navtitle="Name of the Windows® native
service.">
<topicmeta>
<keywords>
<keyword>TEST_SERVLET</keyword>
</keywords>
</topicmeta>
</keydef>
</topichead>
<topichead navtitle="Screenshots">
<keydef href="icons/add_role.png" keys="add_role"/>
<keydef href="screenshots/actualCert.png" keys="actualCert"/>
...
<keydef href="screenshots/statusLine.png" keys="statusLine"/>
</topichead>
</map>
