DITAMAP in a Directory
The DITA Packager moves an entire set of documentation, defined by a DITAMAP, into a self-contained directory.
No Broken Links
Xrefs, conrefs, topicrefs and images are converted to relative paths so that no links break no matter where the directory is moved.
Zip It Up
The packaged DITAMAP can be zipped and emailed, or moved on a USB key, to whoever needs it next.
The DITA Packager software is distributed as a module for the Samalander Software Center. Free trials of all modules, including DITA Packager, are available.
