27.5.1 Understanding
how split and extract files are named
When DITA2Go splits a DITA file,
the result is a series of HTML files. If you direct DITA2Go to
include a map-based TOC (see §6.12
Specifying options for maps), that TOC becomes the first output
file. Otherwise, the first topic becomes the first output file. If you
specify a name for the first file, either via TOC naming or via chunking,
DITA2Go uses the name you specify; in that case an empty file
with the name of the original map is left behind and can be ignored.
Do not rename this file, because it is required for subsequent
conversions. DITA2Go names the rest of the split files, and all
extracted files, as follows:
- If
there is a copy-to attribute
on the topicref in the map, the attribute value becomes the name of the
file.
- If
there is no copy-to attribute:
- If
chunking is specified, DITA2Go derives a name from the topic ID
of the affected topic.
- If
chunking is not specified, the file gets a name that begins with xx and ends
with a three- or four-digit internally assigned ID number.
