Topic elements
The base topic elements include elements that make up the
core building blocks of the DITA topic, such as topic, body, and related-links,
as well as elements like <p>
and <ph>
that are used in many
topic specializations. Some of these elements are also available inside
the <topicmeta>
map element.
Basic topic elements The basic topic elements provide the structural framework for a topic: title, short description, prolog, body, and related links.
Body elements The body elements support the most common types of content for topics: paragraphs, lists, phrases, figures, and other common document components.
Multimedia elements The multimedia elements are used to reference audio or video content. The elements in this domain are modeled on the HTML5 <audio>
and <video>
elements.
Indexing elements The indexing elements provide content that a processor can use to generate indexes .
Related links elements The related links elements define, group, and describe hyperlinks that are embedded in a DITA topic. The links are contained by the <related-links>
element and apply to the DITA topic as a whole.
Table elements DITA topics support two types of tables: complex table and simple table.
