New ITEM: Cross-references to Topicheads and Implicit Title-only Topics * http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/dita/200901/msg00039.html (Eliot, others) > Eliot defined the issue: The map has several layers of topichead and within the > content you need to add a reference to the topichead. What does it mean to have an > xref to a topichead in the map? The spec should then say the topicheads imply the > title of a topic. Current DITA-OT HTML and PDF2 behaviors differ. TC members > agreed that xref to a topichead is a valid use case and processing should generate > an appropriate topic for the topichead and link to that topic as if the topichead > was a topichead/topic pair. So the arch spec should say that topichead is > equivalent to a topichead/topic pair. Clarification: topichead may also be a > topicref with no @href. > Another use case is the ability to xref to a map file. Robert asked what about if > you need to reference a map that represents a different book? > Eliot: Use @scope = local vs external. > Continue discussion on the list and revisit next week. > ACTION: Folks to contribute some more use cases to the list. In particular, use > cases where users would not expect an associated topic to be created in the > content area. > Robert: Are there other publishing formats we have not considered where it could be > considered differently -- in HTML and PDF we're covered, but what about other > output formats? Don to follow up on this one. > CONTINUED. -- meeting adjourned -- 7.
