This example illustrates how to interpret a basic three-column relationship table used to maintain links between concept, task, and reference material.
The following example contains the markup for a simple relationship table:
<map> <!-- ... --> <reltable> <relheader> <relcolspec type="concept"/> <relcolspec type="task"/> <relcolspec type="reference"/> </relheader> <relrow> <relcell> <topicref href="A.dita"/> </relcell> <relcell> <topicref href="B.dita"/> </relcell> <relcell> <topicref href="C1.dita"/> <topicref href="C2.dita"/> </relcell> </relrow> </reltable> </map>
A DITA-aware tool might represent the relationship table graphically:
type="concept" | type="task" | type="reference" |
---|---|---|
A | B |
C1 |
When the output is generated, the topics contain the following linkage:
- A
- Links to B, C1, and C2
- B
- Links to A, C1, and C2
- C1, C2
- Links to A and B
