<dvrResourceSuffix>

The <dvrResourceSuffix> element specifies the suffix to use when constructing the effective file names of resources that are referenced from within the map branch that is implied by the ancestor <ditavalref> element.

For map branches that are implied by <ditavalref> elements, the value of the <dvrResourceSuffix> element contributes to the effective file names of the resources that are referenced within the branch. The base part of the effective resource file name ends with the value of the <dvrResourceSuffix> element. The base part of the resource file name consists of the portion of the file name after any directory information, and before any period followed by the file extension. For example, in the original file name task/install.dita, the base portion of the file name is "install". If @copy-to is specified on a topic reference where <dvrResourcePrefix> or <dvrResourceSuffix> based renaming is in effect, the prefixes or suffixes are applied to the resource name inside the @copy-to attribute.

Some resources are not eligible for renaming, such as those marked with scope="external". Rules for which resources are eligible for renaming, and what names are allowed as valid resource names, are the same as those for the @copy-to attribute defined in Topicref element attributes group, with one exception. Where @copy-to and <dvrResourcePrefix> might include path information, path information is not valid in <dvrResourceSuffix>.

Example

If the <dvrResourceSuffix> is specified in the following way:

<topicref href="branch-01.dita">
  <ditavalref href="condition-01.ditaval">
    <ditavalmeta>
      <dvrResourceSuffix>-cond01</dvrResourceSuffix>
    </ditavalmeta>
  </ditavalref>
  <topicref href="topics/subtopic-01.dita"/>
</topicref>

Then the effective file name of resource topics/subtopic-01.dita is topics/subtopic-01-cond01.dita, as though the @copy-to attribute had been specified with that value on the <topicref> to topics/subtopic-01.dita. Similarly, the effective file name of resource branch-01.dita is branch-01-cond01.dita.
