Chapter within a chapter

Hi,

Can I add a chapter within a chapter for a chm output? I am using XML Author 18.0. Thank you!

Hi,

The DITA BookMap specialization which you are already probably using disallows inserting chapters inside chapters.
You could possibly create your own DITA DTD specialization similar to the bookmap but removing the limitation.
Or as an alternative on the topicrefs that you want shown as chapters set an @outputclass attribute with a specific value and then create a PDF customization which would match those specific topicrefs and apply chapter-like processing on it.

Thanks Radu. I ended up just inserting article map inside a article map to develop the required output hierarchy.
