Including conkeyref in a single dita page XHTML output

[itauthor]

Apologies for the newbie question. There's probably an obvious answer for this but I've searched the help and this forum and not found one.

I have a DITA project. I have a DITA file that includes content pulled in via conkeyrefs. I want to check the output, but rather than outputting a whole WebHelp system (my intended output) I just want to quickly see the page I'm working on. When I use the XHTML transformation scenario the content referenced by the conkeyrefs doesn't show up.

How do I fix this?

Hi,

Oxygen uses the DITA Open Toolkit publishing engine to generate output from DITA content and right now you cannot instruct the publishing engine to publish a single topic but to use keys collected from a certain DITA Map.
I opened an issue for this some time ago and I updated it to add your particular use case:

https://github.com/dita-ot/dita-ot/issues/1697

So the only option right now would be to define a DITA Map which only maps those particular keys used in the topic, refer to the topic in the DITA Map and publish the DITA Map.
