[oXygen-user] IDs for new DITA topics

[Frank Dissinger]

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>
