I checked the DITA specs and the scale attribute is only listed for CALS tables and not simple tables. We just started using this attribute and like it a lot. But we just noticed that only CALS tables scale and not the simple tables. We are using Oxygen version 18 and the scale attribute is availabl...

Re: Add page break to topicref at map level

Thanks Dan,

We could use conrefs, but that would create two topics. We would like to just use one topic and control it at the map level.
The topicrefs in the map do have an outputclass available, I just can't find where to apply the code.

I have cross posted on the DITA-users site.

Thanks

I was not able to get it to work with a conkeyref on the postalcode element, but did get it to work by inserting a <keyword> element inside the <postalcode> element.
I applied the conkeyref to the <keyword> element.
