Configure the custom map shell DTD (DRM)

Important: Follow these instructions only if you are using the Dynamic Release Module (DRM). If you are not using DRM, use the previous topic, Configure the custom map shell DTD.

Even if you don't anticipate needing a custom map shell at this point, it's very likely that you will. For example, if you specialize any conditional/profiling attributes, you will probably want to be able to use them on topicref elements within maps as well as on elements within topics. To make sure you have the environment you need from the start, it's a good idea to go ahead and create a custom map shell.

  1. Copy IxiaMap-drm.dtd from com.ixiasoft.dita13.dtd/dtd/drm to com.company.dita.dtd/dtd.

    You will probably need to export IxiaMap-drm.dtd to your desktop, then add it to your plugin using Insert Documents.

  2. Rename IxiaMap-drm.dtd to CompanyMap.dtd.
  3. Check out and open CompanyMap.dtd.
  4. At the beginning of the file, edit the header to reflect an appropriate name, version, and date for the DTD. 

    <!-- ============================================================= -->
<!--                    HEADER                                     -->
<!-- ============================================================= -->
<!--  MODULE:    COMPANY DITA Maps DTD                             -->

<!-- ============================================================= -->
  5. Just after that, edit the public identifier to be something unique, and change the file name to match your file name. 
    <!-- ============================================================= -->
<!--                    PUBLIC DOCUMENT TYPE DEFINITION            -->

<!--  Refer to this file by the following public identifier or an 
      appropriate system identifier 
PUBLIC "-//COMPANY//DTD DITA Map//EN"
      Delivered as file "CompanyMap.dtd"                           -->
  6. Optional: Delete the following section altogether, or use it to keep a revision history of the file. 
    <!-- ============================================================= -->

  7. At the end of CompanyMap.dtd, change the "End" comment as shown: 
    <!-- ============= End Customer DITA Maps DTD  ============= -->
  8. Save and check in CompanyMap.dtd.
