subjectHead
The subjectHead element provides a heading for a group of subjects, for use if the scheme is displayed. For instance, a schememight be displayed to let a user select subjects as part of faceted browsing. The subjectHead element itself does not reference a file and cannot be referenced as a key, so it does not define any controlled values.

Example 203. Example
In this example the Server setup label doesn't classify content but, when selected, is equivalent to the union of its child subjects. That is, the heading covers content about planning for any application, installing for any application, any task for web servers, or any task for database servers.

Attributes
The following attributes are available on this element:
Universal attribute group,
navtitle from
Topicref element attributes group, and
outputclass. This element also uses
processing-role,
toc, and narrowed definitions of
collection-type and
linking from
Attributes common to many map elements.
collection-type
Collection types describe how links relate to each other. The processing default is "unordered", although no default is specified in the DTD or Schema. Allowable values for collection-type on this element are:
unordered
Indicates that the order of the child topics is not significant.
sequence
Indicates that the order of the child topics is significant; output processors will typically link between them in order.
-dita-use-conref-target
linking
Defines some specific linking characteristics of subject topics. "normal" is the only valid value, and is specified as the default in the DTD, XSD Schema, and RELAX NG implementations. When attribute values cascade, this causes a linking value of "normal" to cascade to the subjects.
