Hi,
I am looking for some documentation and ideally some examples of how to use the DITA anchorref element to reuse maps of content.
Can you advise on where I can find such information as it seems to be very thin on the ground.
Any advice appreciated,
Regards,
Ann

Hi Ann,

I'm afraid I'm also not very familiar with anchorref, the specs is here:

https://www.oxygenxml.com/dita/1.3/spec ... orref.html

At some point when I investigated this in the past it looked like some kind of conref push but I do not remember if i also tested the publishing part, especially with newer DITA OT publishing engines. Maybe you can test a little bit, build a small example to see if the publishing works.

You can also reuse an entire DITA Map by adding a mapref to it and also parts of a DITA Map either by placing them in a new submap or by defining an ID on a topicref and then using plain conrefs (content references).

Radu
