For xref links "ditamap" is not supported

[BALAAJ]

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

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
