Chunk topics (chunk)

The chunk step breaks apart and assembles referenced DITA content based on the @chunk attribute in maps. This step is implemented in Java.

The DITA-OT has implemented processing for the following values of the @chunk attribute:

  • select-topic
  • select-document
  • select-branch
  • by-topic
  • by-document
  • to-content
  • to-navigation
