Related information in the HTML output

[anna_craneo]

When using a relationship table to create links, by default links are organized by topic type and contain heading such as Related tasks, Related references, Related Concepts. I want all the topics to be grouped together under "Related information" title.

Example of Default Behavior:

Related Tasks
Topic 1
Topic 2

Related Concepts
Topic 3

Related References
Topic 4
Topic 5

Example of what I want to produce:
Related information
Topic 1
Topic 2
Topic 3
Topic 4
Topic 5

I have already done what is recommended here - topic12781.html
And added properties to my reltable

Code: Select all

<reltable>

   <relheader>

     <relcolspec linking="sourceonly">        

      <title>Related information</title>

     </relcolspec>

     <relcolspec>

      <title>Related information</title>

     </relcolspec>

   </relheader>



   <relrow>

     <relcell>        

      <topicref href="topic.dita"/>

     </relcell>

     <relcell>        

        <topicref href="relactedConcept.dita"/>

        <topicref href="relatedTopic.dita"/>

        <topicref href="relatedTask.dita"/>        

     </relcell>

   </relrow>

</reltable>

It works great but only for linking the source with targets, but not vice versa. Is there any chance to have two-way linked topics in one list?

Hi Anna,

Maybe you can remove that linking="sourceonly" attribute from the relcolspec.

Radu,

If I remove linking="sourceonly", my topics become like this again:
Related Tasks
Topic 1
Topic 2

Related Concepts
Topic 3

Related References
Topic 4
Topic 5

Hi Anna,

I cannot reproduce this problem using a sample project I created with DITA OT 2.5.4 bundled with Oxygen 20.
If you are using a similar DITA OT version can you put together a small sample DITA project exhibiting the problem and maybe attach it to an email (support@oxygenxml.com)?

Hi,

Just to update this topics, based on Anna's feedback I updated this opened issue here:

https://github.com/dita-ot/dita-ot/issues/2966

As a workaround you can make the relheader look like this:

Code: Select all

     <relheader>

       <relcolspec type="other">

       </relcolspec>

       <relcolspec type="other">

       </relcolspec>

       <relcolspec type="other">

       </relcolspec>

     </relheader>

this will avoid specifying titles for each category and because we have the "type" attribute distinct from the usual topic/task/concept values you will get the "Related information" category label automatically used. The publishing will issue some warnings because you set a @type value which is not in the regular set of allowed values but you can probably ignore them.

Radu
