Oxygen XML Editor allows you to select a DITA Map as a key space, or root map, for all the other DITA Maps and topics in the project. Specifying the correct root map helps to prevent validation problems when you work with keyrefs and also acts as the foundation for content completion. All the keys that are defined in a root map are available in the maps that the root map contains.
There are several ways to select or change the root map:
- Use the Root map drop-down lists in the DITA Maps Manager toolbar to select the appropriate root map.
- From the DITA toolbar or contextual menu select
Link > Key Reference... to open the Insert Key Reference dialog and click on
the Change Root Map link at the top of the dialog. - From the DITA toolbar click the
Insert Content Key
Reference button to open the Insert Content Key
Reference dialog and click on the Change Root Map
link at the top of the dialog.
Note: You can also click a key reference error to select the root map.
