[oXygen-user] Hiding keyref text in xrefs (in Author mode)

Hello Yves,

This comes from frameworks\dita\css\core\-conrefs.css, where we have the 
following rule:

    @media oxygen{
       *[keyref]:before,
       *[keyref][href]:before{
           link: oxy_concat("", attr(keyref, keyref));
           content: url("../../img/link_keyref.png") *"[" attr(keyref) "]"*;
           text-decoration: none;
       }
       ...
    }

The elegant way of dealing with this would be to create an alternate CSS 
(https://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/versions/22.0/ug-editor/glossary/alternate-css-style.html) 
that contains only this rule, but without the blue text ("[" 
attr(keyref) "]"), and then activate this CSS from the Styles dropdown 
that is found in the toolbar area when opening a file in the Author 
mode. If you want to get that key name back, you need to deactivate this 
alternate CSS. You should find enough information about this in the 
userguide.

You could, of course, remove the blue text directly from -conrefs.css, 
but then it would not be that easy to render the key name again. You 
would have to write the blue text again...

All the best wishes,
