> 15 Converting to DITA XML > 15.10 Configuring cross references and links for DITA > 15.10.6 Overriding <xref> attribute values > 15.10.6.1 Specifying the <xref> scope attribute
By default, for most links Mif2Go omits the scope
attribute
of the generated DITA <xref>
element,
so that the value of the scope
attribute defaults
to local
. However, for links that use a message URL hypertextHyperLink
marker, Mif2Go sets the <xref>
scope
to external
.
Some applications, such as XMetaL, do not support
the #IMPLIED
default of <xref
scope="local">
. If you plan further DITA processing using such
an application, you can instruct Mif2Go to always make this attribute value explicit:
; UseLocalScope = No (default, omit scope attr from xref if not
; specified and href is not to a URL) or Yes (set scope="local" in
; those cases to satisfy applications (XMetaL) that do not respect
To specify the scope
attribute of an individual cross reference or hypertext link in FrameMaker,
insert a DITALinkScope marker in text just before the link. The content of
the marker is the value of the scope
attribute
(usually peer
) of the generated <xref>
element.
