24.2.2 Specifying
DITA output options
To
change the file extension for DITA output (not recommended):
[Setup]
FileSuffix = .ext
The default file extension is .dita. Unless
you have a compelling reason, use .dita, not
.xml, for
the output file extension. Many places in DITA depend on that extension,
and will break if you do not use it; for example, related links would
be assigned the wrong @format value,
and so would not work correctly in many tools.
