I would like to add that I have defined topic templates in my custom framework in which I have used the same setting which I used for "DITA > ID Option". For example: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE task PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DITA General Task//EN" "generalTask.dtd"> <task id="*${localName}_${id}*" xml:lang = "en-US"> <title>xxxTITLExxx</title> <shortdesc>xxxSHORTDESCRIPTIONxxx</shortdesc> <taskbody> <steps> <step> <cmd>xxxFIRST_STEPxxx</cmd> </step> </steps> </taskbody> </task> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Am 27.03.2023 um 10:43 schrieb Frank Dissinger:
Hi all,
I understand that a topic ID must be unique within the scope of the root ditamap used for publishing the content.
FrameMaker, which I used previously, creates IDs of the type
id172OC0C03J7
So there is an arbitrary combination of 11 digits and letters.
In oXygen I have set the "DITA > ID Option" as follows:
${localName}_${id}
Which creates IDs of the following type:
task_rf2_vcg_ywb
So there is an arbitrary combination of only 9 characters, mostly letters. But perhaps sufficient for ensuring uniqueness...
However, when I use the "DITA > Insert > Insert New DITA Resource" command, oXygen does not honor the "ID Option" setting, but creates IDs which are identical to the file name.
This is not what I want and surely not suitable for ensuring uniqueness.
How can I get oXygen to honor the "ID Option" setting or make it otherwise generate IDs with arbitrary characters which are likely to be unique?
Regards,
Frank
