Oxygen provides a special view for
editing DITA maps. The DITA Maps Manager view presents a map in a
simplified table-of-contents manner allowing the user to navigate easily to the referred
topics and maps, make changes and perform transformations to various output formats using the
DITA-OT framework bundled with Oxygen.
The view supports opening multiple documents at the same time.
All files which have the extension .ditamap or
.bookmap are open in the DITA Maps Manager view.
In addition, you can right click the file in the Project view and
select Open with. If you opened the DITA map file in the editor panel
you can open it also in this special DITA map view by right clicking on the title tab of the
editor panel and selecting the Open in DITA Maps Manager action from
the popup menu.
