Is there a way I can change the Navigation Title for a Topic at the map level?

I tried the following, but that did not work:

<topicref href="topics/anchor_links.dita" navtitle="Show Hide" toc="no" chunk="to-content"
locktitle="yes">
<topicmeta>
<navtitle>Show Hide</navtitle>
</topicmeta>
<topicref href="topics/user_interface/view_show_hide_isolate_t.dita" toc="no"/>
<topicref href="topics/preferences/keyboard_shortcuts_mouse_controls_tool_show_hide_r.dita"
toc="no"/>
</topicref>

Hi,

According to the specification:

http://docs.oasis-open.org/dita/v1.2/os ... l#navtitle

his navigation title may differ from the first level heading that shows in the main browser window. Use <navtitle> when the actual title of the topic isn't appropriate for use in a table of contents, navigation pane, or online content (for example, because the actual title is too long).

the navigation title is what ends up being shown in the Table of Contents. So it does not replace the title in the actual topic.

So if you want a topic with a variable title you would probably need to use a conref or a keyref in the title.
