No related links output in PDF

[chrizzbee]

Good day!

I am a little confused. In Oxy 17, when I publish a map which contains reltable information, the related links do not appear in PDF. Not even collection-type = family creates any links. If I publish to webhelp or other web format, it works all nice. What do I do wrong here?

Here's my map:

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<!DOCTYPE map PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DITA Map//EN" "map.dtd">

<map>

 <title>DITA Topic Map</title>

 <topicref href="c_xplmpubl_aboutthismanual.xml" collection-type="family">

  <topicref href="c_xplmpubl_targetaudience.xml"/>

  <topicref href="c_xplmpubl_revisions.xml"/>

 </topicref>

 <topicref href="task.xml"/>

 <reltable>

  <relheader>

   <relcolspec/>

   <relcolspec/>

  </relheader>

  <relrow>

   <relcell>

    <topicref href="c_xplmpubl_targetaudience.xml"/>

   </relcell>

   <relcell>

    <topicref href="task.xml"/>

   </relcell>

  </relrow>

 </reltable>

</map>

Thanks for advice
Chris.

"args.rellinks = all" did the trick.

Hi Chris,

I'm glad you got to the bottom of the problem.

Best regards,

I find it a bit strange that I must set for PDF output "args_rellinks" specifically to show related link information. Whereas for web publications, it seems to be enabled by default, as soon as I set either collection-type = family on a parent or I insert a relationship table.

What puzzles me further is the fact that for web publications the label says "Related information" and in PDF it says "Related links".

OK, I refer to OT 1.8.5 here - maybe they harmonized something in OT 2.0, dunno.

Hi Chris,

The different behavior comes from the different XSLs being applied for each publishing output. In OT 2.0 the transformations might be more consistent, but I haven't tried it. If you want to find out if this different behavior has intended or just something that slipped, maybe someone from the DITA users group might know more.

Best regards,
Alex
