I have some XML files that are referenced by a .ditamap file that I run through Oxygen XML Editor's Transformation process. Inside one of these XML files is:
[<b><xref href="aFile.html" scope="external">Some Text</xref></b>]
aFile.html does not get placed in the transformed output. How can I make this happen?
I did try the object tag instead of xref, and that did cause aFile.html to appear in the output, but it embedded a scrollable window in my page, and I want a hyperlink to a file.
UPDATE 1: A) I added the format and removed the scope attributes, but there was no difference.
[<b><xref href="aFile.html" format="html">Some Text</xref></b>]
B) I added scope local, but there was no difference.
[<b><xref href="aFile.html" format="html" scope="local">Some Text</xref></b>]
UPDATE 2: I am using version 21 of the tool and the DITA Map WebHelp Classic (deprecated) Transformation Scenario.
Remove scope=external attribute and add instead format=html attribute. Files referenced with scope external are not copied to output folder.
