You can use the Acrolinx for JustSystems XMetaL to check the content of DITA maps and get an Acrolinx score for the entire DITA publication. This feature is especially helpful if your DITA map files reference topics from many different locations and you want to ensure that all relevant files are found and checked.

Because the checking feature for DITA maps is built upon the batch checking feature, the batch checking feature must be enabled in your license. If you receive a licensing error when you attempt to check a DITA map, contact your Acrolinx project consultant to have your license updated.

Checking of DITA map files requires XMetaL version 6.0 or later.
