The DITA add-on for XXE contains two configurations: [1] A configuration for DITA topics. Top configuration file for this document type is: DITA_ADDON_INSTALL_DIR/dita.xxe [2] A configuration for DITA maps. Top configuration file for this document type is: DITA_ADDON_INSTALL_DIR/dita_map.xxe Note that the DTD 1.0.1 currently used by XXE is also referenced * in the document templates found in the DITA_ADDON_INSTALL_DIR/template/ subdirectory; * in the XML catalog used by XXE which is DITA_ADDON_INSTALL_DIR/dita_catalog.xml. In principle, the DITA OT bundled with the DITA add-on for XXE ``inherits'' its DTDs, its XML catalogs, etc, from the above environment.
