| SUMMARY: |
FM-based cross-reference text shows up in OT-generated files |
| ISSUE: |
Using the fm-xref element allows the use of FM-style cross-refs in content (PDFs) generated from FrameMaker. However, if you also generate output through the OT, the text of the FM-style cross-refs will be used as the link text. This is most likely not what you want. |
| SOLUTION: |
Correcting this problem requires manually updating the ditafmx.ini (for DITA-FMx) or ditafm.ini (for FM8-DITA). Set the GeneralExport/WriteLinkTextToFmXrefs parameter in the INI file to 0. The default for this (perhaps incorrectly) is 1, which saves the cross-reference text of fm-xref elements to the XML file. This "hard-codes" the link text value and doesn't allow the OT to rebuild them with the title text of the target topic. If you set this to 0 (zero), the link text won't be saved to the XML file.
Note that after changing this setting, you'll have to open/save/close all of your XML files to remove the embedded link text. After you do that, the links in your OT-generated content should be free of the FM-xref text. |
