Conrefs not displayed in HTML5 output due to parser error with possible bug

Hi there,

Once again I am in a battle with this HTML5 output.

The old webhelp generation was so much better and more reliable!

In a Dita 1.3 setup I work with the standard topics and concepts.

Assigning IDs to xml elements is a standard feature, used in my document as it worked before.

Now i get an error in the console:

XML Parser Messages (Document Instance)

Error at file xyz.xml, line 31, char 27, Message: attribute 'id' does not allow multiple values

Error at line 35, char 27, Message: attribute 'id' does not allow multiple values

Error at line 40, char 27, Message: attribute 'id' does not allow multiple values

Error at line 45, char 27, Message: attribute 'id' does not allow multiple values

They are different ul elements getting their ID attribute so they can be conreferenced to later in other docs.

This was possible to use without parser messages with 2015 now with 2017 its moaning about it.

When generating HTML5 output, conrefs are not displayed at all while the rest of the document is visible.

It shows only empty elements (ul bullet points).

Generating a .pdf out of the same content works fine.

I have issued a bug, since assigning IDs to elements in one document is a standard functionality and should work as expected.

However I need a way around until this is fixed.

Any ideas for workarounds?

Cheers,

Xandy
