All the examples of topicrefs I’ve seen use @href when referencing topics. When viewed in author mode all I see is “topicref” with a grey background. But when I change the @href to @conref in 10.2 and 10.3 the topicrefs are resolved and I can see basically what the output will look like. In 11 the following error appears:

 

Error - recursion detected when expanding reference: topics/task_task123.dita#topic123!

 

Should the topicrefs only contain @href?

 

The above behaviour is a really nice to have. Also tried having both @href and @conref and found that the PDF plug-in in the OT does not output the content that is referenced. Only when @href exists (no @conref) does the PDF plug-in resolve all the references.

 

We like the behaviour of seeing the map resolved in author mode, as it will show what the output will basically look like and very quickly. We prefer this over continually parsing the map into PDF as our manuals are 1000+ pages and image intensive and does take quite a bit of time.
