Hi Radu I have found the cause of the problem: some topics have a link to a topic which is "outside the scope of the input dita/map directory", for example: <related-links status = "new"> <link href="../layout.xml#aw1140092"> <linktext>Layout.</linktext> </link></related-links></task> The DITA OT then gives me this warning: [pipeline] [DOTJ036W][WARN] The file "C:\temp\oxygen_webhelp_test\DITA\layout.xml" referenced by "C:\temp\oxygen_webhelp_test\DITA\prototype\to_create_a_task_topic.xml" is outside the scope of the input dita/map directory. If you do not want to see the warning message,please use the Ant parameter 'outer.control', and set the value as "quiet".Or,you can move the referenced file The graphics are then put in a subfolder. I will send Support a small prototype. Thank you in advance for your help. Kind regards -- Yves Barbion www.scripto.nu
