Hello Yves,

This comes from frameworks\dita\css\core\-conrefs.css, where we have the following rule:

@media oxygen{
  *[keyref]:before,
  *[keyref][href]:before{
      link: oxy_concat("", attr(keyref, keyref));
      content: url("../../img/link_keyref.png") "[" attr(keyref) "]";
      text-decoration: none;
  }
  ...
}

The elegant way of dealing with this would be to create an alternate CSS (https://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/versions/22.0/ug-editor/glossary/alternate-css-style.html) that contains only this rule, but without the blue text ("[" attr(keyref) "]"), and then activate this CSS from the Styles dropdown that is found in the toolbar area when opening a file in the Author mode. If you want to get that key name back, you need to deactivate this alternate CSS. You should find enough information about this in the userguide.

You could, of course, remove the blue text directly from  -conrefs.css, but then it would not be that easy to render the key name again. You would have to write the blue text again...

All the best wishes,

Hi group

When I insert a xref to a DITA topic with a key, I see the following in Author mode:

<p><xref>[keyref_text]My cross-reference display text</xref></p>

The keyref_text makes it a bit difficult to read my cross-reference display text, so I would like to hide it when I'm working in Author mode. Is there a way to do this?

Thanks

Yves
