example script and XSLT for topic bursting

[Leigh White]

Hi all,

Would anyone be willing to share a basic example of a script and XSLT they have used to burst one large DITA topic into multiple smaller ones? Not finding anything online, unfortunately, and I need something to jump-start me. Many thanks!

I use some code that Eliot initially developed to burst a composite topic into the following:

• A DITA map
• An individual topic for each topic previously in the single composite topic

Let me know offline if you want what I have. It's not ready for primetime.

Best,
Kris

Hi Leigh,

On the DITA Awareness Group on LinkedIn there was a discussion where I
posted a script that takes a topic with nested topics and generates a
map and places each topic to a file:

This project in the GitHub DITA Community organization has some bursting code:
