25.1.4.5 Specifying a collection-type
attribute for each topic type
To specify a collection-type attribute
for a topic type in a DITA2Go-generated relationship table for
a chapter map:
[DITARelGroups]
; DITA type name = collection-type attribute to use in the <colspec>
; for the chapter map <reltable> column for that DITA type.
topictype = colltype
To specify a collection-type attribute
for a topic type in a relationship table for a book map:
[DITARelBookGroups]
; DITA type name = collection-type attribute to use in the <colspec>
; for the book map <reltable> column for that DITA type.
topictype = colltype
If you do not include a setting for a topic type in
[DITARelBookGroups], DITA2Go
uses the setting for that topic type (if any) in [DITARelGroups] for the
relationship table for the book map.
We suggest the following collection-type attributes;
however, you can specify others:
family
|
(equivalent to the usual ALink behavior)
|
sequence
|
(links are in order of appearance in the chapter)
|
choice
|
(processor dependent)
|
The default is no collection-type, so that
topics in that column do not link to each other, but only to topics in
other columns in the same row.
For example:
concept = family
task = sequence
These settings would yield the following results:
- Concept topics would link to
other concepts, and to task and reference topics in the same row (same
DITARelRow value;
see §25.1.4.3
Adding ALink rows to relationship tables).
- Task topics would link to each
other as an ordered set, and to concept and reference topics normally.
- Reference topics would link
to tasks and concepts in the same row, but not to each other.
