DITA topic files allow multiple topics, even hierarchically arranged, within a single xml file.

If the topics were all in individual files, a map file including each of these will generate nicely to an index.html with a link to each topic.

Is there a way to get the same individual topic link result from a single xml file containing multiple topics? Currently, when I create a map file and add the topicref, FM only gives me the option of specifying the file, and then gives only the top-level topic link in that file. Can this be expanded?

Thanks
Bruce

Are you saying that you want to see this in FrameMaker or in the generated files? It's not (easily) possible in FM .. and it should be what you get if you generate output through the Open Toolkit.

Tell me more about what you're trying to do.

I'm looking for dita-ot output; FM is a different issue with a different solution. So, let me be more precise, via simple example. Probably I'm overlooking the obvious.

Say I have a ditamap file:

..ditamap
....topicref - syntax.xml
....topicref - semantics.xml

and syntax.xml has topics:

..topic - syntax
....topic - syntax.literals
....topic - syntax.variables

and some topics in semantics.xml as well. Processing via the OT produces an index.html with only:

..Syntax
..Semantics

I would like:

..Syntax
....Literals
....Variables
..Semantics
....Classes
....Instances

What am I missing?
Thanks
Bruce
