Attributes
An element's attributes are displayed one line below the element itself and indented one level.
Attribute display is toggled by clicking the attribute icon. Each line contains the attribute name and its value. Only attributes which are set are displayed. To modify an attribute, click on the attribute name or value in the Document Map.
All attributes in an active document can be displayed by choosing View > Expand Attributes.
When authoring a DITA document, DITA attributes that reference another document have a button associated with them (This is an image of a button with three periods on it.) that enables you to invoke the Resource Manager to browse for a file.
