Samalander is actively looking for partners to test our Beta software. Our development process follows the Agile process in that we release early and often with functional software.

A key aspect of this strategy is to find customers who are willing to help us define what they want now and who would be willing to help us define what is most useful to them in their own context.

If you have general inquiries about our Beta program please contact us.

DITA Xref Manager

DITA Xref Manager allows technical writers to centrally manage their xrefs while working without a CMS. With just a few clicks you can redirect xrefs, assign keys, and monitor the state of links in an entire documentation suite on your local disk.

Product Features

  • Find Xrefs: Select a DITAMAP and scan your documentation and find all xrefs.

  • Work with Destinations: Instead of working with individual xref elements one by one, modify destination URLs and simultaneously update all xrefs that point to those URLs.

  • Change Destinations: Find xrefs that reference a particular destination URL and redirect them all to a URL you define.

  • Fix Xrefs: DITA Xref Manager will inform you of which destination URLs do not exist. Fix xrefs to those destinations by redirecting them to a new URL.

  • Assign Keys: Define keys in a keymap and DITA Xref Manager can assign them to all your xrefs in a few clicks.

  • Update Keys: Update all keyrefs to a new key your define.

  • Count Inbound Xrefs: DITA Xref Manager provides a count of inbound xrefs to each destination URL. Easily see which topics and files are most referenced in your documentation.
