Configuring the Manage Internal References tool

You can enable the Manage Internal References tool and then customize its behavior by editing its configuration files.

When enabled, the Manage Internal References tool launches automatically in the Arbortext or Oxygen XML editor when a user navigates to a location within a document where an internal reference can be inserted and selects Insert > Markup. To enable this functionality, set the following AppData value to on.
{Global}/Settings/Editors/cw_xml_co/enableManageInternalReferencesOnInsert
The Contenta S1000D installation program delivers the following configuration files to the Contenta_home\encaps\S1000D\XYArborTextPulugin\projects directory.
  • xref_targets_all_xxx.txt

    This file lists all of the element types within a spec issue to which you can create an internal reference.

  • xref_targets_dflt_xxx.txt

    This file lists a subset of the element types within a spec issue you can reference, and is used to populate the list of potential reference targets displayed in the Select Xref target dialog that is displayed when the tool is launched.

The following file contains the attributes the tool needs to generate internal reference markup and element IDs for the spec issue. It informs and controls target ID generation and assignment of xidtype (issue 3.0 or earlier) and internalRefTargetType (issue 4.0 and later) values.
