create more than one tasks in a task topic

Post by **catherine** » Tue Dec 12, 2017 11:57 am

Hi,
Is there any way I can create 2 or 3 tasks in a task topic, like the following:
Task 1

Step 1
Step 2
Step3

Task2

Step1
Step2
Step3

I tried, but failed. I can only create one task in a task topic.
But I see your online help, you can create two tasks in a topic, can you tell me how to achieve this?

Hi Catherine,

In the example you provided from our userguide we used a structure based on sections inside a topic, like in the following example:

Code: Select all


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<!DOCTYPE topic PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DITA Topic//EN" "topic.dtd">

<topic>

  <title>Topic</title>

  <body>

    <p>Some content.</p>

    <section>

      <title>First procedure</title>

      <p>Follow this procedure:<ol>

        <li>Step one</li>

        <li>Step two</li>

      </ol></p>

    </section>

    <section>

      <title>Second procedure</title>

      <p>Follow this procedure:<ol>

        <li>First step</li>

        <li>Second step</li>

        <li>Third step</li>

      </ol></p>

    </section>

  </body>

</topic>

If this method does not suit your needs, you could alternatively try one of the following methods:

Create task structures inside a task topic, like in the following example:

Code: Select all


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<!DOCTYPE task PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DITA Task//EN" "task.dtd">

<task id="maintask">

  <title>Main task</title>

  <taskbody>

    <context>

      <p>Some content.</p>

    </context>

    <steps>

      <step>

        <cmd>Step one</cmd>

      </step>

      <step>

        <cmd>Step two</cmd>

      </step>

    </steps>

  </taskbody>

  <task id="secondtask">

    <title>Second task</title>

    <taskbody>

      <steps>

        <step>

          <cmd>Step one</cmd>

        </step>

        <step>

          <cmd>Step two</cmd>

        </step>

      </steps>

    </taskbody>

  </task>

</task>

Write separate tasks, then aggregate them in the final output by using the DITA chunking mechanism.
