PDF-output Include all referenced topics not working

[Karin Albrecht]

Hi all,

I am using RH 2022.4.179. Here, the setting "include all referenced topics" in PDF or Word output doesn't seem to work. Neither in my project nor in the sample project. If checked, the hyperlinks in the topics stay active but point to some temp directory. The files are not attached to the output as was the case in earlier versions.

Also, the tooltip of the info icon next to the setting doesn't show any content any longer.

Does anyone else have this issue?

I will check in the most current version later on, I have to wait for IT to start up my virtual machine here.

Thank you!

Karin

Are they present in the TOC?

[edit] - was this working before and now it's not? Or was it never working?

[Karin Albrecht]

No, they are not present in the TOC. I thought this was exactly what this setting is for 🙂  [edit]: according to Peter's help site, that's the case: 

---

Include All Referenced Topics sets whether or not topics that are not in the TOC but have links from topics that are also get included.

It was definitely working at some point in time, but I have not needed it for quite a while.

So it's a topic (say TopicA) that ISN'T in the TOC, but has a reference to it in another topic (say TopicB) that IS in the TOC, but TopicA is still missing from the output? Have I got that right?

It's a bug that I will report in a moment and add the link here.

I just tested in Update 5 and it's there too.
