Different parameter value for Webhelp output than usual

We produce our PDF and Webhelp output using the publishing engine. Our publishing template sets "webhelp.show.expand.collapse.sections" to no. I now have one specific document that requires this parameter to be set to 'yes'. What are my options? I would not like to create a second publishing template.

When you set a parameter in the template to a certain value and want to override this, you should be able to do this in corresponding deliverable in the corresponding DITA-OT Project file.

Hello,

Besides what Stefan said, you can also override the template's parameter value by setting a different value in the command line, or in a custom scenario in Oxygen (via the Parameters tab in the "Configure Transformation Scenario(s)" dialog).

Regards,
Julien
