I'm working with XMLMind XML Editor Professional Edition 9.5.0.
When I create a ditafile with referenced content as topicref on my ditamap and
create a navtitle with locktitle=yes on the topicref, then the navtitle is not
taken over when I'm converting the ditamap.
Yes. See below.
The problem only occurs if the topicref is a ditafile with referenced content.
Not sure to understand "the topicref is a ditafile with referenced
content".
In our tests, the problem occurs in all cases. A <navtitle>
locktitle="yes" is rarely taken into account. See below.
The same problem occurs with XML Editor Professional Edition 10.0.0.
That's right.
Is this a bug or is this intentional?
This is intentional but on the other hand, may be this a bug. That is,
may be we have misunderstood the DITA specification.
It's all about the exact meaning of <navtitle> (or similarly attribute
@navtitle).
See
http://docs.oasis-open.org/dita/dita/v1.3/errata02/os/complete/part2-tech-content/langRef/base/navtitle.html#navtitle
The spec says:
---
This navigation title might differ from the first level heading that
shows in the main browser window. Use <navtitle> when the actual title
of the topic isn't appropriate for use in a table of contents,
navigation pane, or online content (for example, because the actual
title is too long).
---
We currently interpret this spec very strictly and use a <navtitle>
locktitle="yes" only in the generated table of content of multi-page
HTML, Web Help, etc, (and also in some of the navigation links often
found in such pages).
A <navtitle> locktitle="yes" is ignored when generating PDF, RTF, DOCX,
etc, as there is no concept of "navigation title" in such formats.
May be this is not the intended use of a <navtitle> locktitle="yes". We
are not 100% sure as we are not the authors of the DITA spec.
