Add references to sections in the table of contents

[ekb]

Hi!
I want to create a large topic with many sections, is it possible to somehow reference these sections in a ditamap to be displayed in table of contents as if they were separate topics? For example, this is the topic:

Code: Select all

<reference id="tocsec" xml:lang="en-us">

<title>Test</title>

<shortdesc>this is a test topic</shortdesc>

<refbody>

<section id="1234">

<title>1234</title>

<p>content1</p>

</section>

<section id="2345">

<title>2345</title>

<p>content2</p>

</section>

<section>

<title>3456</title>

<p>content3</p>

</section>

</refbody>

</reference>

And I would like to have all the content published in one topic, but to make the navigation easier, I'd like to be able to access each of these sections in a table of contents, so to have TOC like this:

Test
1234
2345
3456

I'll be grateful for any hints, thanks!

Hi Ewa,

The DITA standard states that a DITA map can only refer to topic-like elements:

https://www.oxygenxml.com/dita/1.3/spec ... icref.html

References to DITA content cannot be below the topic level: that is, you cannot reference individual elements inside a topic.

So you would need to find another solution for this.
