Hi Sorin
Thank you for helping me to solve the issues.

Now, I am facing another problem while transforming the DITA files. When I transform the files, I got the message that the build is succesful but the output is not generated. What would be the reason?

Regards
Julie

Hi
When I tranform the files, the following warning message displays.
" No format attribute was found.If the target '../Topics/Design_Portal.html'is a DITA file, set the format attribute to "dita". If it does not point to a DITA file, set the format attribute to an appropriate value. " What does this mean and what is the solution?
Please help.
Regards
Julie

Hello,

It seems to refer to the attribute format of a topic reference. In the Author mode when you insert a topicref in a DITA map you can set this attribute in the Format combo box of the Insert Topic Reference dialog opened by the action Insert a DITA Topic Reference. The format should default to the dita value if it is not specified so I do not understand why it is reported as error, in case it really is caused by a missing format attribute of a topicref. However you can get more help on such errors which are very specific for the DITA Open Toolkit (the transformation is executed by the DITA Open Toolkit that comes with Oxygen) on the dita-users mailing list.
