The <defaultSubject> element is used within an attribute enumeration to set the default value for that attribute in cases where no value is specified on the attribute. The default subject must be one of the controlled values within the categories specified for the attribute.

The following example declares that each of the four defined "os" values is valid within the platform attribute; if no value is specified, the default is "linux".
<subjectScheme> <subjectdef keys="os"> <subjectdef keys="linux"/> <subjectdef keys="mswin"/> <subjectdef keys="zos"/> <subjectdef keys="macos"/> </subjectdef> <enumerationdef> <attributedef name="platform"/> <defaultSubject keyref="linux"/> <subjectdef keyref="os"/> </enumerationdef> </subjectScheme>
Specifies the title of the topic as it will appear in the navigation or tables of contents that are generated from the map. Beginning with DITA 1.2, the preferred way to specify the navigation title in a map is with the navtitle element, available inside the topicmeta element. |
||||
A pointer to the resource represented by the <topicref>. See 3.4.2.1 The href attribute for detailed information on supported values and processing implications. References to DITA content cannot be below the topic level: that is, you cannot reference individual elements inside a topic. References to content other than DITA topics should use the format attribute to identify the kind of resource being referenced. |
||||
Introduces one or more global identifiers for a resource referenced from a map. See 3.4.2.2 The keys attribute for details on how to use the keys attribute. |
||||
Describes the processing role of the referenced topic. The processing default is "normal". Normal topic that is a readable part of the information. The topic is used as a resource for processing purposes, but is not a readable unit of information on its own. This topic should not be included in a rendered table of contents, and the topic should not be rendered on its own. |
||||
This attribute is deprecated. It may be removed in the future. |
||||
Use the copy-to attribute on the <topicref> element to provide a different file name for a particular instance of the topic in the map (for example, to separate out the different versions of the topic, rather than combining them on output). The links and navigation associated with that instance will point to a copy of the topic with the file name you specified. Use the < linktext> and <shortdesc> in the <topicref>'s <topicmeta> to provide a unique name and short description for the new copy. |
||||
Describes the target of a reference. See 3.4.2.8 The type attribute for detailed information on supported values and processing implications. |
||||
The scope attribute identifies the closeness of the relationship between the current document and the target resource. See 3.4.2.10 The scope attribute for more information on values. |
||||
If locktitle is set to "yes", the <navtitle> element or @navtitle attribute is used if it is present. Otherwise, the navtitle is ignored and the navigation title is retrieved from the referenced file. The @navtitle attribute is deprecated in favor of the <navtitle> element. When both a <navtitle> element and a navtitle attribute are specified, the <navtitle> element should be used. The navtitle in the map is used. The navtitle or title of the topic is used. This is the processing default. |
||||
The format attribute identifies the format of the resource being referenced. See 3.4.2.9 The format attribute for details on supported values. |
||||
Specifies whether a topic appears in the table of contents (TOC). If the value is not specified locally, but is specified on an ancestor, the value will cascade from the closest ancestor. |
