Hello,
I want to generate multiple different outputs from my main map, but with different top level topics, depending on the output. Imagine the following:

Code: Select all

main-map.ditamap
	product_1.dita
		product_1.ditamap
	product_2.dita
		product_2.ditamap
	product_3.dita
		product_3.ditamap

For building the main map, the output would have these tiles (currently implemented):

Code: Select all

- product_1.dita
- product_2.dita
- product_3.dita

Now, I also want to generate product-only outputs where the top level tiles need to be the top level topics of the product maps:

Code: Select all

main-map.ditamap
	product_1.dita
		product_1.ditamap
			product_1.dita
			topic_a.dita
			topic_b.dita
			topic_c.dita
	product_2.dita
		product_2.ditamap
	product_3.dita
		product_3.ditamap

If I build the output for product one, the home page needs to have these tiles:

Code: Select all

- product_1.dita
- topic_a.dita
- topic_b.dita
- topic_c.dita

You'll notice that I have used product_1.dita in two places (nested): I tried using profiling to exclude the product_1.dita topic, respectively (product output vs. main-master output), but the profiling attributes inherit.
Using topicheads resolves in only the one (top level) tile.

Is there another way of configuring this?

Thanks!
Josie

Hello Josie,

Which kind of output would you like to generata? PDF/WebHelp/HTML?
Could you also indicate on which version of Oxygen you are running these transformations?

Regards,
Julien

Hello Julien,
We are building Webhelp responsive output and using Oxygen 27.
Thanks and best regards,

Hello Josie,

The thing is, with this structure:

Code: Select all

main-map.ditamap
	product_1.dita
		product_1.ditamap
			product_1.dita

You will obtain the tiles with Product 1 | Product 2 | Product 3 but clicking on Product 1 will result into this publication TOC:

Code: Select all

    Product 1
        Product 1
        Topic A
        Topic B
        Topic C

Which I don't think you want, since the Product 1 topic is duplicated in the output and is its own child.

Why not simply using <topichead> as you mentioned and transform directly product_1.ditamap when you need the WebHelp output for one product? Instead of using profiling attributes and filter them.

Regards,
Julien
