Hi Mark, One alternative would be to create those unique IDs for the index.html files directly from the XSLT customization possibly using the generate-id() function. When a DITA Map or topic is opened in the Author editing mode you can select various elements in it, right click and choose "Generate IDs". In Oxygen 17 there will be a new action called "XML refactoring" which can be applied on all the maps and topics in your project. This action will be able to apply various operations on all the resources. One of the operation is called "Add/Change attribute" and it can add a new attribute with a certain name and value to certain elements in the XML content. Your post gave us the idea to also expand Oxygen editor variables like "${id}" in the values we allow users to set for the attributes. In this way, if we manage to add this extra improvement before Oxygen 17 is released, this "XML refactoring" tool will also be an alternative to your use case.

Hi Radu,
Thanks for the info. My use case is, I am generating XHTML with the DITA OT and importing the files into Drupal. My Drupal developer tells me that each HTML file needs to have a globally unique ID, and I want to put an id in the index.html files that get generated from maps. (I notice that the OT does not put an id in index files, even if an id exists in the source DITA map. I'll have to fix that.)
By the way, is there any way in Oxygen to add IDs to a single file? I thought I saw something like that in years past.
Regards, Mark

Hi Mark,
You could try to edit the new file template used to create DTD-based DITA Maps:
OXYGEN_INSTALL_DIR\frameworks\dita\templates\map\Map.ditamap
and set the ID attribute to use the Oxygen-specific "${id}" editor variable which is expanded when the new file template is used, something like:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE map PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DITA Map//EN" "map.dtd"> <map id="map_${id}"> <title>DITA Topic Map</title> </map>
We do not have a way for batch generation of IDs. What is your use case? IDs set on a map root element are not that useful in general.

Is there a way to get Oxygen to generate an ID for a new DITA map? It already does this for topics.
Also, is there a way to batch generate IDs for a whole group of XML files, like those in a DITA map? I see info on things like "Managing ID/IDREFS" in the help, but that seems to apply to something else.
