How to chunk topics within slave ditamaps?

In order to publish to HTML, I am using dita and xml. I have a parent ditamap (book map), which includes multiple ditamaps, each is a chapter, including individual dita topics. I would like to chunk these dita topics, which as said are inside the chapter ditamaps, such that each chapter appears on one HTML page. Otherwise, each individual topic appears on one HTML page. 

I tried chunk="to-content" in the chapter ditamaps, as an example:

<map>

 <topicref keyref="introduction_computed_tomography" type="topic" chunk="to-content">
<topicref keyref="xray_basics" type="topic"/>
<topicref keyref="computed_tomography_basics" type="topic"/>
</topicref>

</map>

This chunks the individual topics but the links and figures are gone. Is there a better way of gluing the topics inside the ditamap together?

You may wanna try using chunk=by-document

No that didn't work. I got it work using dita-ot. By adding chucnk="to-content" to the lower level ditamaps. It then creates Chunkxxx.html files (xxx are numbers) which are getting referenced inside the index.html file. The appearance is not as good as the one in FrameMaker but it combines the topics as I want.

If I do the same in FrameMaker, the chunking is ignored. However, In FM, I was able to chucnk the whole book in one page by putting chucnk="to-content" on the master ditamap (dita book map). Ufortunately, this is not what I would like to show.

Hi Amitoj, Thanks. Here is the Google drive link: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1KMWA_0_jWkRXowSAsJQJsNTo80Zu-Gq1

I managed to get a relatively OK HTML structure in FM by pulling the dita bookmap up to the main folder. It still shows each individual topics on one HTML page but at least it chunks the mini TOC of each chapter on one HTML page and the full TOC on the left. See the index file under the Responsive HTML5 folder. The chunkc="to-content" command is used but it does not influence the appearance, one built by FM. Try removing it, you'll get the same look. It has an influence in dita-ot though.
