Controlling chunk processing by the output type

[Toshihiko Makita]

Hi All,

I have a question about controlling @chunk attribute. My user uses one bookmap for multiple output (PDF, HTML). For HTML output they added topicref/@chunk=”to-content” to bind the underling topic contents to one HTML page. If @chunk=”to-content” is set to a topicref, the DITA-OT generates one topic that contains nested topics. But in the PDF output they want to disable this processing because PDF does not need chunk processing. PDF is a page media, pages are stacked from one to another sequentially. So binding topic contents is not necessary. 

 

Is it possible to enable @chunk attribute for HTML output and disable it in PDF output by configuring DITA-OT?

 

I tried root-chunk-override property in PDF processing. But it only replaces map/@chunk attribute. Each topicref/@chunk attributes under the map are honored in DITA-OT processing.

 

Regards,

Set preprocess.chunk.skip=true to disable chunk processing.

Hi Jarno,

Thank you for your reply.

It worked fine as expected!

Hi Jarno,

I have the same issue in my PDF. I am not good in ant file creation. Could you please help me where I can set the preprocess.chunk.skip=true in the below target code or do I need to add another target for skipping chunk?

<target name="chunk-check">
    <condition property="preprocess.chunk.skip">
      <isset property="noMap"></isset>
    </condition>
  </target>

Thanks in Advance.

Hi Rahul,

Jarno must be busy with DITA-OT developing work so much. So here is my example.

AntennaHouse/pdf5-ml integrator.xml

https://github.com/AntennaHouse/pdf5-ml/blob/master/com.antennahouse.pdf5.ml/integrator.xml

If you want disable chunk processing for your plug-in, simply set preprocess.chunk.skip=true by the following code.

 <!-- Set property not to process chunking -->

  <condition property="preprocess.chunk.skip">

    <equals arg1="${transtype}" arg2="pdf5.ml" casesensitive="false"/>

  </condition>

You should replace "pdf5.ml" by your plug-in tanstype defined in plugin.xml.

Hope this helps your development.
