+
+ \title Creating DITA Maps
+
+ You can create DITA map files using three new qdoc commands, the \l{ditamap-command}
+ {ditamap} command, the \l{topicref-command} {topicref} command, and the \l{mapref-command}
+ {mapref} command. How these DITA maps will be used automatically or manually by the
+ documentation build process is still under consideration. This section will be updated
+ as the decisions are made.
+
+ \section1 What is a DITA map?
+
+ A complete description of DITA can be found at the
+ \l{http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/tc_home.php?wg_abbrev=dita}
+ {OASIS Darwin Information Typing Architecture} site.
+
+ An explanation of the DITA map is found at that site
+ \l{http://docs.oasis-open.org/dita/v1.2/os/spec/langref/map.html}{here}.
+
+ \target ditamap-command
+ \section1 \\ditamap
+
+ The \\ditamap command is for creating a DITA map using qdoc commands.
+ The \\ditamap command is a kind of \\page command that produces a
+ \e{.ditamap} instead of a \e{.html} or \e{.xml} file. The file that
+ is created actually contains XML text, but the \e{.ditamap} suffix is
+ used to identify the file as containing a DITA MAP.
+
+ The argument is the name of the file to be created. In the following
+ example, the file \e{creator.ditamap} is output:
+ \code
+ \ditamap creator.ditamap
+ \endcode
+
+ \target topicref-command
+ \section1 \\topicref \\endtopicref
+
+ The \\topicref \\endtopicref commands are for creating a topicref
+ in the ditamap. The \\endtopicref command is required because
+ \\topicref commands can be nested.
+
+ \\topicref has two arguments. The first argument becomes the value
+ of the \e navtitle attribute. Normally, you use the title of the
+ topic being referenced. This title is often what will appear in a
+ table of contents constructed from the ditamap.
+
+ The second argument is the name of the page being referenced. The
+ second argument is actually optional, for example if you are using
+ a topicref as a container for other topicrefs and maprefs. It is
+ also optional if you want qdoc to find the page name for you by
+ looking up the title in its internal data structure. It is recommended
+ that you provide the second parameter if you know the page name.
+
+ \code
+ \topicref {QML Module QtQuick 2} {qtquick-2.xml}
+ \mapref {Creator Manual} {creator-manual.ditamap} \endmapref
+ \topicref {QML Mouse Events} {qtquick2-mouseevents.xml} \endtopicref
+ \topicref {Property Binding} {qtquick2-propertybinding.xml} \endtopicref
+ \endtopicref
+ \endcode
+
+ \target mapref-command
+ \section1 \\mapref
+
+ The \\mapref command is for creating a mapref in the ditamap. A
+ mapref refers to another ditamap, which you want to include in
+ your ditamap. Like the \\topicref command, the \\mapref command
+ has two arguments, but for the \\mapref command, both arguments
+ are required. The arguments are essentially the same as described
+ for \\topicref, but for \\mapref, the second command must be the
+ name of another ditamap, i.e. it must have the \e{.ditamap}
+ suffix. You must provide the file name. qdoc can't look up the
+ file name for you.
+
+ \code
+ \mapref {Creator Manual} {creator-manual.ditamap} \endmapref
+ \endcode
+
+ \section1 An example ditamap page
+
+ The following example uses the three qdoc ditamap commands described above.
+
+ \code
+ \ditamap creator.ditamap
+ \title The DITA Map for Creator
+
+ \topicref {QML Module QtQuick 1}
+ \topicref {QML Mouse Events} \endtopicref
+ \topicref {Property Binding} \endtopicref
+ \endtopicref
+
+ \topicref {QML Module QtQuick 2} {qtquick-2.xml}
+ \mapref {Creator Manual} {creator-manual.ditamap} \endmapref
+ \topicref {QML Mouse Events} {qtquick2-mouseevents.xml} \endtopicref
+ \topicref {Property Binding} {qtquick2-propertybinding.xml} \endtopicref
+ \endtopicref
+
+ \topicref {QML Module QtQuick.Particles 2} {qtquick-particles-2.xml}
+ \topicref {Age} {qml-qtquick-particles2-age.xml} \endtopicref
+ \endtopicref
+ \endcode
+
+ \section1 The resulting ditamap file
+
+ This is the \e{.ditamap} file you get when you input the qdoc
+ ditamap page shown above. Note that you can write ditamap files
+ directly in XML just as easily as you can write them using the
+ qdoc commands. The choice is yours.
