Edit PropertiesThe Edit properties action, available both on the toolbar and on the contextual menu, is used to edit the properties ofthe selected node. Depending on the selected node, the action will perform the following tasks:<strong>Author</strong> for DITA | 117• If a topicref or chapter element is selected, the action will show a dialog similar with the Insert Topic Referencedialog allowing the editing of some important attributes.• If a topichead element is selected, the action will show a dialog similar with the Insert Topic Heading dialog allowingthe editing of some important attributes.• If a topicgroup element is selected, the action will show a dialog similar with the Insert Topic Group dialog allowingthe editing of some important attributes.• If the map's root element is selected then the user will be able to easily edit the map's title using the Edit Map titledialog. By using this dialog you can also specify whether the title will be specified as the title attribute to the mapor as a title element (for DITA-OT 1.1 and 1.2) or specified in both locations.Transforming DITA Maps and Topics<strong>Oxygen</strong> <strong>XML</strong> <strong>Author</strong> <strong>plugin</strong> uses the DITA Open Toolkit (DITA-OT) to transform DITA maps and topics into anoutput format. For this purpose both the DITA Open Toolkit 1.5.4 and ANT 1.7 come bundled in <strong>Oxygen</strong> <strong>XML</strong> <strong>Author</strong><strong>plugin</strong> .More information about the DITA Open Toolkit are available at http://dita-ot.sourceforge.net/.Available Output FormatsYou can publish DITA-based documents in any of the following formats:• PDF - DITA to PDF using the DITA OT IDIOM PDF <strong>plugin</strong>.• WebHelp - DITA to XHTML.• XHTML - DITA to XHTML.• Compiled HTML Help (CHM) - DITA Map to HTML Help. If HTML Help Workshop is installed on your computer,then <strong>Oxygen</strong> <strong>XML</strong> <strong>Author</strong> <strong>plugin</strong> detects it and uses it to perform the transformation. When the transformationfails, the hhp (HTML Help Project) file is already generated and it must be compiled to obtain the .chm file. Notethat HTML Help Workshop fails when the files used for transformation contain diacritics in their names, due todifferent encodings used when writing the .hhp and .hhc files.• JavaHelp - DITA Map to JavaHelp.• Eclipse Help - DITA Map to Eclipse Help.• Eclipse Content - DITA Map to Eclipse Content.• TocJS - A JavaScript file that can be included in an HTML file to display in a tree-like manner the table of contentsof the transformed DITA map.• Open Document Format - DITA Map to ODF.• Docbook - DITA Map to Docbook.• RTF - DITA Map to Rich Text Format.• troff - DITA Map to Text Processor for Typesetters.• Legacy PDF - DITA Map to PDF using the DITA OT deprecated PDF implementation.The TocJS TransformationThe TocJS transformation of a DITA map does not generate all the files needed to display the tree-like table of contents.To get a complete working set of output files you should follow these steps:1. Run the XHTML transformation on the same DITA map. Make sure the output gets generated in the same outputfolder as for the TocJS transformation.2. Copy the content of ${frameworks}/dita/DITA-OT/demo/tocjs/basefiles folder in the transformation'soutput folder.
