--> My answer assumes that you are using XMLmind DITA Converter (ditac), either the standalone executable or integrated in XMLmind XML Editor, to convert your map. Note that we no longer support the DITA Open Toolkit. --> Even if it's highly non-intuitive, this behavior, which happens only when you have several topics in the same .dita file, seems to be the one described in the DITA 1.1 spec. Excerpts from http://docs.oasis-open.org/dita/v1.1/CS01/archspec/id.html --- ... A topic architecture assembles topics into a deliverable by reference. ... If the target contains multiple peer topics organized by a <dita> element (as in the ditabase document type), then the reference is resolved to the first topic in the target, except in the case of topicrefs being resolved as inclusion directives (for example during PDF output), in which case the entire target file is included, regardless of whether a specific topic is targeted. --- Let's suppose foo.dita contains topic t1, t2 and t3. When converting to HTML: <topicref href="foo.dita"/> or <topicref href="foo.dita#t1"/> pulls just t1. When converting to PDF: <topicref href="foo.dita"/> or <topicref href="foo.dita#t1"/> pulls t1, t2 and t3. The solution is: * Specify a single topic per .dita file and adjust your map accordingly OR * Use the same map for HTML and for PDF, ODT. Specify "-chunk single" to get for PDF, ODT, etc, exactly the same behavior as for HTML. More information in section "Recommendations" in http://www.xmlmind.com/ditac/_distrib/doc/manual/manual-4.html#chunking --> If you are using the ditac command-line, then specify command-line option "-chunk single". See http://www.xmlmind.com/ditac/_distrib/doc/manual/commandLine.html#commandLine --> If you are using XXE, there is currently no way to easily change the "Chunk mode" from "Automatic" to "Single chunk". See http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/dita/preprocess_options.html#com.xmlmind.xmleditext.dita.PreprocessingOptionsEditor Please edit XXE_install_dir/addon/config/dita/xslMenu.incl and add --- <argument>-chunk</argument> <argument>single</argument> --- after --- <argument>-media</argument> <argument>print</argument> --- in process command "dita.toPS" and also in process command "dita.toRTF". -- XMLmind DITA Converter Support List [email protected] http://www.xmlmind.com/mailman/listinfo/ditac-support
