Relationship table

In a DITA map, a relationship table is a systematic structure for creating and maintaining relationships among DITA topics.

The relationships are displayed in a tabular format. Each row of the table represents a relationship, which is usually rendered as a link. Each cell lists one or more participants in the relationship. No relationships exist between the rows of the table.

Example
