Adding a <div> tag around all related links in XHTML output

[davegibbons]

I need to add a div around all the related links in XHTML output. Oxygen appears to have customized the DITA toolkit in this area. Where would I add a div with an id attribute so that the div surrounds all of the related links on an XHTML page, including "previous" and "next" links?

Thank you for your help.

Hello,

For XHTML output you should run the DITA Map XHTML transformation. The related links are created in the template:

Code: Select all

<xsl:template match="*[contains(@class,' topic/related-links ')]" name="topic.related-links">

from the stylesheet [Oxygen-install-dir]\frameworks\dita\DITA-OT\xsl\xslhtml\rel-links.xsl. This template already contains a div element without attributes so you should add an id attribute to this div element, for example:

Code: Select all

<xsl:template match="*[contains(@class,' topic/related-links ')]" name="topic.related-links">

   <div id="some_ID">

   . . .

If you want to surround only the Previous Topic and Next Topic links you should modify only the template:

Code: Select all

<xsl:template name="next-prev-parent-links">

from [Oxygen-install-dir]\frameworks\dita\DITA-OT\xsl\xslhtml\rel-links.xsl. You should add the div element inside this template:

Code: Select all

<xsl:template name="next-prev-parent-links">

   <div id=some_ID>



     . . .



   </div>

</xsl:template>
