The "rel-atts" attribute group is deprecated
in favor of the relational-atts group, which adds new attributes to
the original "rel-atts" group.
The "rel-atts" attribute group includes attributes whose
values may be used for representing navigational relationships. These
attributes occur only on elements that represent relationships between
topics. Beginning with DITA 1.2, the parameter is deprecated in favor
of the relational-atts group;
it is still defined so that specializations which use this entity
may upgrade more easily.
Attributes
Name | Description | Data Type | Default Value | Required? |
---|---|---|---|---|
type | Describes the target of a reference. See The type attribute for detailed information on supported values and processing implications. | CDATA | #IMPLIED | No |
role | The role attribute defines the
role the target topic plays in relationship with the current topic. For
example, in a parent/child relationship, the role would be "parent"
when the target is the parent of the current topic, and "child" when
the target is the child of the current topic. This structure could be used to
sort and classify links at display time.
See

supported values.
