Hi,

I want to make a link within a topic

Code: Select all

<li>“Classements” <xref href="aaa">[AAA]</xref> <xref href="bbb">[BBB]</xref> [CCC] [DDD].</li>

...

<entry id="bbb">[BBB].	ccccccc </entry>

...

<p id="aaa">[AAA]. dfdfdf fdffdfd fdffdfdf </p>

In PDF link is OK but message error in processor :

Code: Select all

ID Système: D:\topics\to_xx.dita

Scénario: DITA Map PDF 

fichier Input: D:\topics\to_xx.dita

Nom du moteur: DITA-OT

Gravité: error

Description: [DOTX031E]: The file file:/D:/topics/temp/pdf/aaaa is not available to resolve link information.  The location of this problem was at (File = D:\topics\to_xx.dita, Element = xref:1)

URL: http://dita-ot.sourceforge.net/readme/DITA-messages.html#msgs__DOTX031E

Exist a solution ?

Hi,

Even if the link is in the same file, it should still refer to the element by adding the topic ID to the path like:

Code: Select all

<xref href="#topicID/aaa">

Please see the specs:

http://docs.oasis-open.org/dita/v1.2/os ... /xref.html

at the part which states:

If you are linking within the same file, you can leave off the "filename.dita" part. So, for a section with the ID "mysection", you should use:

#topicid/mysection

Thank you


I used <xref href="to_xx.dita#aaa">

Hi,

You should have used:

Code: Select all

<xref href="path/to/target.dita#topicID/elementID">

If you work in Oxygen's Author visual editing mode you can use Oxygen's "Cross Reference" action to insert a reference with the proper syntax.
