conref for navtitle

[MyMoon]

Hi!
Please, help.
How to use conref for navtitle? It's just a syntax, I hope...

Code: Select all

    <chapter navtitle="conref="r_00_routines_list.dita#r_00_routines_list/csaa100_desc_ru""> 

doesn't work, of course. I need some proper.

Hi Dmitry,

In general, you cannot use conrefs to reuse attribute values. The only way to do this is with entity references which is not the "DITA" way of doing things.
In this particular case, actually the @navtitle attribute is kind of deprecated, the DITA specification recommends using the <navtitle> element instead:

Code: Select all

    <chapter href="topics/installing.dita" locktitle="yes">
        <topicmeta>
            <navtitle>some content</navtitle>
        </topicmeta>

and because it's an element it can use the @conref attribute.

Thanks, Radu!
But what to do, if I need the "empty" heading, just to name the chapter?

Code: Select all

    <title>Regulated Rates </title>
    <topicref href="atfa290_taxas_regulamentadas.dita"> </topicref>
    <topicref href="atfa290_opcao_importar.dita"> </topicref>
    <topicref href="atfa290_opcao_exportar.dita"> </topicref>
    <topicref navtitle="Technical Data (or some dynamic heading from conref)">
        <topicref href="atfa290_tabelas.dita"> </topicref>
    </topicref>

Hi,

About the same as above:

Code: Select all

<topicref>
        <topicmeta><navtitle>Technical Data (or some dynamic heading from conref)</navtitle></topicmeta>
        <topicref href="atfa290_tabelas.dita"> </topicref>
    </topicref>
