Multiple topics on WebHelp page
Hello folks,
I'm currently evaluating whether DITA with WebHelp output is a good replacement for our current documentation system. Thanks to OxygenXML Editor and the corresponding documentation getting everything up and running was a walk on the beach.
My question: How can configure WebHelp to show multiple topics on the same page? I'm referring to something like this: https://www.oxygenxml.com/dita/1.3/spec ... __contains
I tried to find the source code of that documentation but it seems like that's not available. Could someone tell me how I can achieve this effect? Are those just sections in a topic?
It would be very helpful if there would be a few real world sample documentations (like the one linked) with the corresponding DITA source files.

Hello,
Thank you for contacting us!
In order to achieve this, you can use the DITA chunking mechanism as following (you should use the chunk="to-content" attribute set on the parent topic):
You can find below a few links to useful resources:

Code: Select all
<topicref href="concepts/springFlowers.dita" collection-type="sequence" chunk="to-content">
<topicref href="topics/flowers/iris.dita"/>
<topicref href="topics/flowers/snowdrop.dita"/>
</topicref>
