A previous article in this series described the basics for transforming Eclipse navigation files to Darwin Information Typing Architecture (DITA) format. In August 2005, the OASIS DITA Toolkit 1.1 implemented a new way to integrate DITA navigation files. The new capability is called 'mapref' and provides an alternative to using the navref element to integrate navigation files, as described in the previous article. This article compares the mapref and navref methods of integrating navigation files.
