titlealts

The alternate title element (<titlealts>) is optional, but can occur after the topic title. Two elements can be inserted as sub-elements of <titlealts>: navigation title <navtitle> and search title <searchtitle>.

When your DITA topic is transformed to XHTML, the <searchtitle> element is used to create a title element at the top of the resulting XHTML file. This title may differ from the first level heading that shows in the main browser window. In HTML output, the <navtitle> may be used to create navigation panels when your DITA topics are part of an HTML-based help or information system. The design intent is to enable navigation for HTML Help and Eclipse help systems.

When the <titlealts> element is absent, the title element is used for all purposes.

Example

<task id="progexample">
   <title>Example of Required Programming</title>
      <titlealts><navtitle>Programming Example</navtitle></titlealts>
   <taskbody> . . . </taskbody>
</task>
