Bug in Adobe FrameMaker cause problem with keyrefs. through inserting empty hrefs

I have defined a series of keydefs with related hrefs to images in a .ditamap file. My book map file references this ditamap. In my .dita topics I create <figure> elements, and inside them <image> elements.

Normally you use the href attribute to specify the location of the image file, but now I specify the key for the keydef attribute. This works great, FrameMaker even provides a pop-up menu with available keys for the keyref attribute in the dialog box for the image element.

But then the bug hits. After saving the topic, FM inserts an empty href=“” attribute in the <image> element. As a result of this all keyrefs and confers stop working in the whole document. It cannot be solved in FrameMaker, I have to open the topic in a text/xml editor to remove the empty href=“” attribute.

Has anyone encountered this bug too? Does anyone know a solution or workaround?

  • No more automatic empty href attribute in <image> element if you have specified keyref  .
  • We will remove empty href attribute when keyref is non-empty on saving file
