Only show topic title in the output page

Hi there,
Is it possible to only show topic titles in the output page without the content?
The following figure shows the current ditamap:

However, each topic has its own content which expands the output page, I was wondering if there's a way to accomplish the purpose with the topicref element?

And the user can click the link on the title and jump into the topic.

Hi luodan,

Normally this is what the TOC (PDF) or navigation (WebHelp) is for.

However, if you are trying to add just a local "mini-TOC" list of links to your parent introduction topic, you could try the following plugin:

although I see you are using the @chunk attribute and I haven't tried it with that.

Hello,
Could you please let us know the output type do you want to achieve? It would be great if you could provide us more details about your use-case and a screenshot.

Hi Cosmin,
I used another workaround for this case:
I moved the topicrefs to the parent topic (.dita file) and orgnized them into li tags, the output file looks like this:

Hi Luodan,

You might want to try the "DITA-mini-toc-element" plugin I mentioned earlier. I think it automatically does what you are doing manually.
