Provide invariant permalinks for subtopics
WebHelp provides handy "permalink" icons by section and subtopic titles that provide a link to that section or subtopic. Given the following DITA source with three sections and three subtopics: <topic id="topic_id"> <title>My Topic</title> <body> <p>This is a topic.</p> <section ...

Re: v25.1 change in behavior for <image placement="break">
Hi Radu, Indeed you are correct! I misunderstood how the extension points were structured in the template file. Instead, there was a bug in my workaround plugin that caused the duplicate values in v25.0. If anyone wants to revert to the CSS-based @class~="break" behavior, you can use this ...

So now I see the reason for the difference in WebHelp behavior. There is an "html5-images.xsl" stylesheet in the WebHelp and PDF Chemistry transformations that converts the adjacent <br> elements to @class="break" added to the image. This stylesheet is used in both versions of PD...

This is a heads-up to my fellow WebHelp users. Given a DITA <image> element with @placement="break" : <p>LINE</p> <image href="image.png" placement="break"/> <p>LINE</p> In v25.0, the webhelp-responsive transformation produces HTML that uses a @class="break" p...

Hi doctissimus,
The webhelp.publication.toc.links controls what the left-side TOC shows. It is documented here:

Does this help?

Thank you for suggesting other options! Sometimes in the heat of battle, we stop at the first working solution, where another more optimal solution exists. It is always good to evaluate alternatives.
