[oXygen-user] Generating IDs on DITA maps

[Mark Giffin]

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
