DITA Best Practices : Edit DITA scenario - Parameters

  • Clicking the Configure Transformation Scenario(s) icon within the DITA Maps Manager view.

Select the desired transformation scenario (e.g. DITA Map Webhelp - WKFS) and click the Edit button.

The table below provides a list of the parameters, value or recommended value, and description.
