If given, add a custom suffix to the output filename of the header when using -S, --split-headers.
If the given suffix is empty, it defaults to -split.
For example, given:
= my h1

== my h2
a --split-headers conversion would normally place my h2 into a file called:
my-h2.html
However, if we instead wrote:
== my h2
{splitSuffix}
it would not be placed under:
my-h2-split.html
and if we set a custom one as:
== my h2
{splitSuffix=asdf}
it would go instead to:
my-h2-asdf.html
This option is useful if the root of your website is written in OurBigBook, and you want to both:
  • have a section that talks about some other project
  • host the documentation of that project inside the project source tree
For example, cirosantilli.com with source at github.com/cirosantilli/cirosantilli.github.io has a quick section about OurBigBook: cirosantilli.com#ourbigbook.
Therefore, without a custom suffix, the split header version of that header would go to docs.ourbigbook.com, which would collide with this documentation, that is present in a separate repository: github.com/ourbigbook/ourbigbook.
Therefore a splitSuffix property is used, making the split header version fall under /ourbigbook-split, and leaving the nicer /ourbigbook for the more important project toplevel.
If given on the the toplevel headers, which normally gets a suffix by default to differentiate from the non-split version, it replaces the default -split suffix with a custom one.
For example if you had notindex.bigb as:
= Not index
then it would render to:
notindex-split.bigb
but if you used instead:
= Not index
{splitSuffix=asdf}
then it would instead be:
notindex-asdf.bigb
