The Parameterstab allows you to configure the parameters sent to the DITA-OT build file.
The table displays all the parameters that the DITA-OT documentation specifies as available for each chosen type of transformation (for example: XHTML or PDF), along with their description and current values. You can find more information about each parameter in the DITA OT Documentation. You can also add, edit, and remove parameters. Use the Filter text box to search for a specific term in the entire parameters collection. Note that edited parameters are displayed with the name in bold.
Depending on the type of a parameter, its value can be one of the following:
- A simple text field for simple parameter values.
- A combo box with some predefined values.
- A file chooser and an editor variable selector to simplify setting a file path as the value of a parameter.
The following actions are available for managing parameters:
- New
- Opens the Add Parameter dialog box that allows you to add a new
parameter to the list. An editor variable can be inserted in the text box using the
Insert Editor Variables button. - Edit
- Opens the Edit Parameter dialog box that allows you to change the value of the selected parameter by selecting it from a list of allowed values.
- Unset
- Resets the selected parameter to its default value. Available only for edited parameters with set values.
- Delete
- Removes the selected parameter from the list. It is enabled only for new parameters that have been added to the list.
