Recorded: May 2015
In this webinar, we tackle the DITA feature keyrefs and conkeyrefs. The keyref and conkeyref mechanisms allow you to easily switch variable content. We show:
- how keys and key references are referenced by DITA maps
- how processing is evaluated
- how to combine keys with maps for easier manageability
- how to use conkey references instead of conref to simplify reuse and manage your content.
After that, we will talk about:
- how keys and conkeys work
- how they are resolved in the processing pipeline
- how levels of map can help manage variable content.
Examples will be used to demonstrate how everything works using Arbortext.
