Specify options that control the various authoring and publishing features of DITA-FMx.
The Options dialog provides access to the frequently modified properties and settings. Other settings can be changed manually in the ditafmx.ini file, see the INI-Only Settings topic for details.
Uses a doctype to structure application mapping to specify the application to use when opening a DITA topic or map file. Choose the Edit button to define the mapping, then enable the Use Doctype/Application Mapping option to use the mapping. For details on this feature, see Doctype/Application Mapping.
It is important to define a mapping for all possible doctypes that you may encounter, otherwise errors will result when opening files. When this option is enabled, the Topic and Map applications specified in the Options dialog are ignored. The “doctype” is the root element’s name, or the “topic type”. If you use the task, concept, and reference topic types, you should set up a mapping for each type.
Use of this option allows you to define separate structure applications for each topic type, or you can use a structure application that supports multiple types (like the default DITA-FMx applications). The structure applications can share common files as needed (typically the EDD and DTDs), but each unique application name will require a separate entry in the structure application definitions file.
