Using Oxygen to Restructure DITA Files
Posted: Thu Oct 27, 2016 11:32 pm
Greetings, all. I’m very new to Oxygen and have recently began using it to work on code-related issues in our DITA files. I’m undertaking a new project right now, and I wonder if there’s a tool in Oxygen that will help me overcome a large, time-consuming hurdle. I have a feeling there is – I’ve just yet to find it.
I’m charged with reorganizing our tech pubs repository filing structure. More to the point: creating a filing structure where none exists now. The current filing structure consists of one folder containing thousands of files (xml, ditamap, jpeg, png). I’m going to create an actual filing system. Very simply, the tree will look something like:
Repository Folder
+Subject A XML Folder
+XML Files
+Subject A Images Folder
+Images
+Subject B XML Folder
+XML Files
+Subject B Images folder
+Images
When I make this move, I’m going to cause chaos in the DITA files due to broken image links, etc. So the question is: Does Oxygen have a tool for re-linking orphaned files in mass?? I found and tinkered with the “Find Unreferenced Resources” Tool, but that didn’t have any effect on the image files within the individual topicref xml files within a ditamap.
Thanks for this and any other advice you may have on the subject of restructuring DITA files!
