Re: [dita] Difficulty of interaction between <related-links> and reltable links

[Chris Nitchie <chris.nitchie@oberontech.com>]

I’d be open to that. I’ve worked with more than one authoring group who abandoned relationship tables because they felt they were too difficult to manage and keep up-to-date, especially for large publications. Seems like an area ripe for consideration in 2.0.

    If the topic later becomes part of a map, I often will want to manage 
    the link relationships in a relationship table.
    
    However, the markup syntax makes moving <related-links> to relationship 
    tables difficult.
    
    Is this something that we should consider addressing for DITA 2.0? I do 
    realize that how the DITA-OT PDF2 transform handles this might be 
    something to consider ...
