Include Link Text for XML

By default, when you publish to XML, Paligo includes the text for cross-references:

  • Resolved links

    Paligo can resolve the links between topics that are all included in the publication. It includes the XML for the links and also the text.

  • Unresolved links

    Paligo cannot resolve the links that are from topics in the publication to topics that are not included in the publication. For these links, Paligo includes the XML and adds a phrase element for each link. The text for the link is added inside the phrase element.

If you prefer, you can set Paligo to exclude the title of the link target. The XML for the links will remain in place, but the text and, in the case of unresolved links, the phrase element are removed. This can be useful if you import XML into Paligo and want the Paligo output to contain the same elements as the input.

  1. Select Layout in the top menu.

    Paligo editor. The Layout option in the header menu is highlighted.

    Paligo displays a list of Layouts. The list is empty if there are no custom Layouts in your Paligo instance.

  2. Select the XML Layout that you are going to use for publishing.

  3. Select General.

  4. Set View links to:

    • Enable - If you want Paligo to include the text for links in the XML output.

    • Disable - If you want Paligo to remove the text for links (and the phrase element) in the XML output.

    • Default to inherit the value for this setting from the base Layout. The base Layout is either a built-in Layout provided by Paligo or another custom Layout, see Layout Relationships - Base, New, Duplicate.

  5. Select Save.

When you publish with this Layout, Paligo will produce the XML output with link text shown or removed, depending on your choice.
