Initial version.

Background

We use DITA source to generate WebWorks Help output in ePublisher Express 2011.3 for certain deliverables. When publishing PDFs and XHTML from the CMS, we use customized transforms to generate a glossary in the glossary topic that groups each glossary term that begins with A under an A header, each term that begins with B under an B header, and so on. We want to control the processing so that the WebWorks help has similar output. See ietools-86-short-pdf.png.

Requirement

We want to mimic our PDF and XHTML output in the WebWorks Help output. Using the attached dita files, we get by default this output IETOOLS-86-short-current-wwhoutput.png. We want something like this output instead IETOOLS-86-short-preferred-wwhoutput.png. An xsl solution in WebWorks could leverage value in the ditamap which uses <topicgroup otherprops="A">, <topicgroup otherprops="B">, and so on.
