How do I create a new "non-experimental" DITA map ?

[Graham Hannington]

I'm using Oxygen XML Author 22.1.

I have existing ditamaps with the following document type declaration:

Code: Select all

<!DOCTYPE map PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DITA Map//EN" "map.dtd">

I want to create more of these.

However, in Oxygen, File > New > DITA > Maps presents only the single option "Map (Lightweight - Experimental) [DITA Maps]", which creates a ditamap with the following document type declaration (note the "LIGHTWEIGHT"):

Code: Select all

<!DOCTYPE map PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD LIGHTWEIGHT DITA Map//EN" "map.dtd">

Am I missing something? (How) can I select a "DTD DITA Map" from File > New?

Or: have I fallen behind (again)? Is "lightweight" the new normal? If so, why the "Experimental" qualification?

Hi Graham,

The "Lightweight" DITA topics and maps belong to a non released standard so this is why they are marked as experimental.
But of course you should also have the regular DITA Map and Bookmap new file templates to choose from.
If you look in the Oxygen Preferences->"Document Type Associations" page do you see there the "DITA" and "DITA Map" framework entries? Are they enabled/checked? These configurations are the ones which should provide the regular DITA new file templates. Did you add your own DITA or DITA Map framework custom configurations and remove the ones in the default Oxygen installation?
