Specifying the DITA Key Reference Attribute
To define attribute used for key references for a DITA document type, you must define the attribute in the document type's .dcf file. The key reference attribute will be used for assigning key references in a DITA topic. Note that if the key reference attribute is not set for a DITA document type, Arbortext Editor provides a default value of keyref.
To specify the DITA key reference attribute:
1. Open Arbortext Architect.
2. Choose > .
3. Locate the directory in which the document type is saved, and click Select.
4. Once the document type is loaded, choose > . If the document type has a .dcf file, it displays in the Arbortext ArchitectDCF Editor window. If there is no .dcf file associated with this document type, Arbortext Architect automatically creates one.
5. Locate the Options element in the DCF Editor. If the file doesn't include an Options element, add one.

Open the Document Type Viewer ( > ) to view the element hierarchy for the .dcf file. This will help you determine the valid location for the Options element.
|
6. Inside of the Options element, locate the DitaOptions element. If the file doesn't include a DitaOptions element, add one.
7. Place your cursor to the right of the DitaOptions element, and choose > or click on the Modify Attributes toolbar button to open the Modify Attributes dialog box.
