Can you show your source? I think there must be an easier way to do what you're doing. Also, out of curiosity, what tools do you use to generate renderings of

Re: keyref through topicref to submap?

... The problem with what you're trying to do is that keys bind to topics, not to elements within topics. In DITA 1.2 keys are global, meaning that a given key

Hi Mike, The problem with what you're suggesting is that the reference you're trying to make is not a complete address. The ph you're referencing is not

Re: "subject" for relrows in reltable

Fri, 2013-04-19 12:11
As you are talking about an authoring convenience, why not use a comment to specify the subject? I haven't found a reltable solution I'm satisfied with to keep

Cannot be done with DITA 1.2, period. Mike, if you tell people what it is that you want to accomplish, folks might be able to help you figure out a way to do

Re: keyref through topicref to submap?

Fri, 2013-04-19 03:28
