Appearance of nested topicrefs

[awjamd]

I have a ditamap that uses nested topicrefs like so (trimmed down for brevity):

Code: Select all

<topicref href="file 1">

   <topicref href="file 2" />

   <topicref href="file 3" />

</topicref>

"file 1" might start a chapter with a brief introduction, "file 2", and "file 3" would be subsections of the chapter.

What's interesting is that when I view the ditamap in the Author editor the contents of "file 1" appear after the contents of "file 2" and "file 3". How might I change that so the outer topicref displays before the nested topicrefs?

Hi,

You are probably using the "Open Map in Editor with resolved topics" DITA Maps Manager toolbar action.
This is just a limitation in the Oxygen Author page. We plan to address it in a future version.
When the content is viewed in the Author page the referenced content comes after the real content and thus indeed it does not respect the assembly order which you would see when publishing.
