Hi all,

I'm very new to all of this and was hoping someone out there can help me out. We are using a CCMS to store and publish our DITA content. The CCMS uses the DITA-OT (version 1.7.5) and RenderX xep to publish to PDF. I'm attempting to get the output to publish the related topics at the end of the topic using reltables in the bookmap. I have researched this and have found that I need to set args.rellinks or possibly args.fo.include.rellinks to "all" or "nofamily" to get links to appear. My issue is I'm not entirely sure in what file and what part of the file this is accomplished. I have used textcrawler to find these arguments within the folders/files in the DITA-OT directories and have found them, in what I think are the following relevant files:

build_init.xml:

</condition>

</condition>

<or>

</or>

</condition>

build.xml:

<or>

</or>

</condition>

</condition>

</condition>

</condition>

and

</condition>

My question is in what file, and what part of the "code" is the modification made?

Thanks for any help you can give,

Rob

Put the parameters in an ant build file and then use the ant build file to trigger your DITAOT build. Find example ant build files at ..\samples\ant_sample\

Your CMS has a place to put the parameters to use to kick off the DITA-OT.

Add this to them.

It is a command line parameter, so look at the docs for 1.7.5 to see what the syntax of the command line is.

For instance, in the Ixiasoft DITA CMS, you put these parameters in an Ant project file, in what Ixiasoft calls the Output Generator.

All my very best,

Rob
