Map based linking (maplink)This step collects links based on a map and moves those links into the referenced topics. The links are
created based on hierarchy in the DITA map, the collection-type attribute, and relationship tables.
This step is implemented in XSLT and Java.collection-typepreprocessing

The maplink module runs an XSLT stylesheet that evaluates the map; it places all the generated
links into a single file in memory. The module then runs a Java program that pushes the generated links into the
applicable topics.
