What’s new in ESTK 11

ExtendScript 11 support key catalogs for indrect referencing. You can define a key for a file or resource in your project; updating the key will update the references to the file or resource everywhere.

A key catalog is a collection of all the keys in your project—you can manage all the keys from the key catalog.

The key mapping consists of:

• Key name

• Referenced file

• Type of the source file containing the key definition

• Source file containing the key definition

• Information for using the key as a text variable

The key catalog consists of:

• A unique key catalog tag

• A hash-based list of key mappings

• Count of key mappings (including duplicate ones)

• Type of the source file containing the Key Catalog (KEYDEFSRC_NONE, KEYDEFSRC_DITAMAP)

• Source of Key Catalog. (DITA Map or other document holding the Key Catalog)

• Name of the client owning the key catalog.

• Appropriate Flags

The following new APIs have been provided to update DITA references:
