I have a map with this pattern: <map> <topicgroup> <keydef keys="key-01" href="sometopic.dita"/> </topicgroup> <topichead navtitle="ToC"> <topicref keyref="key-01"/> </topichead> </map> The keydef is processed correctly and a topic that uses that key when the map is the selected map resolves. However, in the Map Manager, the second topicref is not resolved. Topicrefs can use keyref. In addition, key references are recursive, so you can have any number of intermediate key references before you get to the ultimate target of the original ref (limited only by stack space and patience).
