Question
FM8, DITA, and XREF tags -- clickable?
For FM8 DITA: Is it possible to create clickable xrefs in DITA topic files?
I have a reference topic with several sections. I created topic IDs for each of the sections, then created an unordered list (a.k.a. bulleted list) with DITA xref elements to each of the sections. So far, so good.
If I gen the material as HTML via the FM8-DITA plugin, I get links (understandable). But the xrefs are not clickable, either as XML (less understandable) or if saved as a FrameMaker binary or a PDF (not understandable).
So, is there a "trick" for creating clickable xrefs in DITA topic files? Or is this an unrealistic desire?
Cheers & thanks,
Riley
