The Output Tab

The Output tab allows you to configure options that are related to the location where the output is generated.

Figure: Output Settings Tab

You can specify the following parameters:

Base directory - All the relative paths that appear as values in parameters are considered relative to the base directory. The default value is the directory where the transformed map is located. An editor variable can be inserted for the path by using the Insert Editor Variables button.
Temporary files directory - This directory is used to store pre-processed temporary files until the final output is obtained. An editor variable can be inserted for the path by using the Insert Editor Variables button.
Output folder - The folder where the content of the final output is stored. An editor variable can be inserted for the path by using the Insert Editor Variables button.
Note: If the DITA map or topic is opened from a remote location or a ZIP file, the parameters must specify absolute paths.
Open in Browser/System Application - If enabled, Oxygen XML Editor automatically opens the result of the transformation in a system application associated with the file type of the result (for example, .pdf files are usually opened in the Acrobat Reader application).
Note: To set the web browser that is used for displaying HTML/XHTML pages, open the Preferences dialog box, then go to Global and set it in the Default Internet browser field.
- Saved file - When Open in Browser/System Application is selected, this button can be used to specify that Oxygen XML Editor automatically opens the file specified in the Save As text field at the end of the transformation.
- Other location - When Open in System Application is selected, this option can be used to specify that Oxygen XML Editor opens the file specified here. The file path can include special Oxygen XML Editor editor variables or custom editor variables by using the Insert Editor Variables button.

At the bottom of the pane there is a link to the Console options preferences page that contains options to control the display of the console output received from the publishing engine.
