Named parameters enable users to more easily specify complex composition parameters.
Astoria's named parameters substitute values from the repository or Astoria application. These values are used by DITA-OT plugins to include information in composed output.
Astoria's named parameters can be used in composition profiles and specified in the Custom Parameters field of the Compose with DITA-OT dialog.
The syntax for referencing a named parameter is to specify ${<parameter name>} in either the Custom Parameters field of the Compose with DITA-OT dialog or in a Value field of a composition profile dialog.
For example:
-Deditlink.present.only.path.to.topic=false -Deditlink.web.author.url=${authorURL} -Deditlink.remote.ditamap.url=${documentEditURL}
