Oxygen XML Forum

Hello,
When generating webhelp responsive output, we noticed that, in the left navigation area, an anchor tag wraps the <navtitle/> content (e.g., Creation) in the resulting webhelp HTML (capture below). We'd like is to see the value of <navtitle/> in the left nav; however, we'd prefer its content not link at all. When we output to HTML5, the <navtitle/> content displays without an anchor (capture below), as we'd like it.

With regards to this <navtitle/>, how do we reconfigure our source, or what is the best way to customize webhelp responsive behavior for this issue? (Also, it would be helpful to get feedback from you as to whether the added anchor tag in the webhelp output is a bug or by design.)

Thanks in advance.

Sean H.

Hi,

Thank you for your feedback.
In the current implementation of the oXygen XML WebHelp this is the intended behavior and unfortunately, it cannot be changed (when the topichead is selected the first child is opened).
I have added your feedback as an improvement request to our issue tracking tool to be further analyzed by our development team.

Thanks for your reply, Ionela.

And just to underscore the issue... From the readers' POV, they may think they've clicked the wrong link or that links are not targeting correctly in the list b/c the navtitle appears the same as all the other links.

Best,

Sean H.
