Using DITA

Linking to another chunked topic

Hey folks.

I have the following bit of structure:

Top Topic chunk=to-content

--Subtopic A

--Subtopic B 

--Subtopic C

Subtopics B and C are reference topics, and I want to link to them from the relevant point in Subtopic A. 

I think that I can link <xref href="#top-topic-id/subtopic-B-id>, because at publishing the page id will be the top topic id? 

Getting the merged.xml file of the pdf output process

Hello!

According the this graph

http://dita-ot.sourceforge.net/1.7/dev_ref/DITA-OTArchitecture.html

there is a merged xml file after the topic merge when I want to publish as pdf.Is it possible to output that merged xml file without customizing the OT?

Links Broken

Why are all the links broken?....

I was trying to read some case studies about DITA but none of the links are working.

XMetaL check in vs case

I have an <xref> element whose href attribute is automatically turned to ALL CAPITALS when it's checked in.

How do I stop this happening? I need to preserve the case I entered or links don't work.

How do I add a summary or title attribute for simpletable or choicetable elements?

Our documentation requires HTML table tags to include summaries or title attributes for accessibility requirements, but I haven't been able to find an existing attribute that I use for this purpose. We are only using simpletable and choicetable. How have you addressed accessibility needs for tables in your documentation?
