[oXygen-user] IDs for new DITA topics

[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
