(topic mapgroup-d)
The %topicref-atts-without-format; parameter entity represents a group of attributes
used in numerous map elements: mapref,
and topicgroup. The set is similar to those documented in topicref-atts but
excludes the format attribute.
The <topichead> element provides a title-only
entry in a navigation map, as an alternative to the fully-linked title provided
by the <topicref> element.
The <topicgroup> element is for creating
groups of <topicref> elements without affecting the
hierarchy, as opposed to nested <topicref> elements
within a <topicref>, which does imply a structural hierarchy.
It is typically used outside a hierarchy to identify groups for linking without
affecting the resulting toc/navigation output.
The <anchorref> specializes <topicref> to set format="ditamap"
and type="anchor" defaults for a reference to an <anchor> to enable push of collections
of content smaller than a map onto an anchor.
The <anchorref> specializes <topicref> to set a format="ditamap"
default for more intuitive map references
The <topicset> specializes <topicref> to set a chunk="to-navigation"
default and required id attribute to make it easy to delimit standalone, reusable collections of content within a
map (such as lessons within a course or large tasks explained by a collection of discrete task topics).
The <topicsetref> pecializes <topicref> to set format="ditamap" and
type="branch" defaults for a reference to a <topicset> to enable reuse of small collections within a
map (especially for task composition approaches in which multiple larger task collections reuse smaller component task collections).
The <keydef> specializes <topicref> to set a chunk="to-navigation"
default and required id attribute to make it easy to delimit standalone, reusable collections of content within a
map (such as lessons within a course or large tasks explained by a collection of discrete task topics).
