Problem with Glossary

Post by kruncher »

Hi

I have created a glossary by creating a document with the root element "glossgroup" with the title "Glossary". In my bookmap I have added the following:

<backmatter>
<booklists>
<glossarylist href="topics/glossary.dita" type="glossgroup"/>
</booklists>
</backmatter>

However, each glossary entry is appearing in TOC individually when rendered as PDF and HTML.

Side note: I am using Oxygen to edit my DITA files and XML Mind DITA Converter to compile documentation.

Ah, this is probably not the right solution, but it does appear to work. Instead of using the `glossgroup` element I am using the `dita` element and including it into my book map as follows:

<backmatter>
<booklists>
<glossarylist>
<topichead navtitle="Glossary" locktitle="yes" chunk="to-content">
<topicref href="topics/glossary.dita" type="dita" toc="no" linking="none"/>
</topichead>
</glossarylist>
<indexlist/>
</booklists>
</backmatter>

Even easier!

Code: Select all

    <backmatter>
<booklists>
<glossarylist navtitle="Glossary" locktitle="yes" chunk="to-content">
<topicref href="topics/glossary.dita" type="dita" toc="no" linking="none"/>
</glossarylist>
<indexlist/>
</booklists>
</backmatter>

Hi,

oXygen uses the DITA-OT to generate the output so we cannot help you with problems encountered when using the DITA Converter tool.

Best regards,
