Burst Configuration for HTML files

peforptc · ‎Mar 26, 2018

Hi,

I am looking to create a burstspec configuration file for HTML files. We have successfully created a separate burst spec related to a DTD, but that DTD has a 'full' DOCTYPE element, while HTML does not.

For example, the DTD we got a burst working for was similar to the DITA doctype:

<!DOCTYPE topic PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DITA Topic//EN" "topic.dtd">

However, HTML just has the following for it's DOCTYPE:

<!DOCTYPE html>

Since the HTML doctype does not have a dtd specified, I have yet to find how to correctly name or place the .bcf file to burst HTML documents automatically.

Thank you in advance,

Peter

Your HTML has to be XML (XHTML) to work with Arbortext/Windchill/bursting. I'm not sure that SGML doctypes are supported. Is your HTML actually XHTML? It is valid for an XML file to not have a doctype (like the example you've given) but I think that precludes its use in Arbortext, because the editor and most of the functionality depends on having a doctype/DTD/schema.
