Specifying conditions

When generating the output, users can specify conditions using Ditaval files.

Ditaval files specify which values you want to conditionally process for a particular output, build, or other purpose. These values determine the content to include and exclude when generating output using the DITA-OT.

Ditaval files ensure that conditions are always applied consistently to generated output. Users can specify a Ditaval file in the Generate Output dialog. When a Ditaval file is specified, IXIASOFT CCMS Output Generator sends the files to transform along with the Ditaval file to the DITA Open Toolkit, which handles the filtering. CCMS Output Generator does not apply any filtering to the files.
