Hi,

I try to use glossref in a PDF output. I am using the pdf2 plugin.
I have the following result:

So I don't get a link in the PDF (although print="yes").

Code: Select all


<topicref href="../data/glossary_overview.xml" chunk="to-content" >   

            <glossref keys="opentoolkit"  href="../data/glossary/ot.xml" print="yes"  />

</topicref>

If I use this I get a link, but the glossary also appears twice in the PDF. The whole thing only works in DITA-OT 2.54.

Code: Select all


<topicref href="../data/glossary_overview.xml" chunk="to-content" >   

        <topicref href="../data/glossary/ot.xml"  />

 </topicref>

 

 <glossref keys="opentoolkit"  href="../data/glossary/ot.xml" print="yes"  />

If I use DITA-OT 3.2, I don't get a PDF.

Input-Datei: C:\dita3_2_test_glossary\main_map_0002.ditamap
Programmname: DITA-OT

[pipeline] Failed to transform document: A sequence of more than one item is not allowed as the value of variable $target (<topicref/>, <glossentry/>)

What am I doing wrong?

Thank you for your help.

The crash in DITA-OT 3.2 is due to the double entry of the glossary (abbrev-domain finds several targets for one href). DITA-OT 2.5.4 obviously reacts differently here due to the other preprocess (OT 3.2 uses preprocess2) for the PDF output.

I think the approach with chunk="to-content" and the use of topicref there is certainly wrong (merging several glossary files into one topic). I will test the use of a glossary group insted.

Test with glossgroup topic.

Finally this works !

in OT 3.2 and OT 2.5.4 in PDF and HTML

Code: Select all


    <topicref href="../data/glossary/glossary_test_0002.xml">

        <topicmeta>

            <navtitle>Demo Glossary Overview</navtitle>

        </topicmeta>

    </topicref>

    

    <glossref keys="opentoolkit"  href="../data/glossary/glossary_test_0002.xml#opentoolkit" print="yes" processing-role="resource-only"/>  

    <glossref keys="conref"  href="../data/glossary/glossary_test_0002.xml#conref" print="yes"  processing-role="resource-only" />

print="yes" is important for the PDF that the link for the term appear.
processing-role="resource-only" that there a no double entries for the glossentry.
