Oxygen XML Forum

Hello,
I wonder if Oxygen has a function like "if link a does not work, use link b instead"? So if there is a link in a dita file to another dita file, and that link doesn't work (for some reason), can I tell Oxygen to use another link instead?
thanks,
Mikael

Hi Mikael,

To achieve something close to what you want I would probably use links with @keyref for something like this, and this can be done in two ways:

1) You can choose to define the key so that in one published DITA Map the key resolves to one topic and in another published DITA Map to another.

2)
If in a certain published DITA Map the key "targetTopicKeyName" is not defined, according to the DITA specification the value of the @href attribute would be used instead.
