I have a xref link which points to a ditamap. Arbortext Editor doesn't support and throws an error. Is this expected one.

Could you please help me on this.

<Level>ERROR</Level><Message>Reference made to ditamap document "DITA

map 1.ditamap" in document "C:\Users\balaj\Desktop\sandeep\Linking

test\Task topic 1.dita" at line 17 is not allowed for reference element

    Hi Bala,

    No, processing does not support the cross reference to a DITA map.

    There's a discussion on the DITA Yahoo Users Group that you may find interesting: http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/dita-users/message/25789.

    To solve your issue, could you use a relationship table or related-links?

    BRs,

    Anne
