> 15 Converting to DITA XML > 15.10 Configuring cross references and links for DITA > 15.10.5 Omitting <xref> elements from footnotes
The way DITA handles footnotes results in footnotes
with IDs not getting callouts unless an <xref>
element is added to provide the callout. However, the DITA Open Toolkit
is inconsistent on this point. The HTML transform wants the <xref>
element, but the PDF2 transform does not.
To exclude <xref>
elements from footnotes:
; FootnoteXref = Yes (default, comply with spec) or No (indulge bug in
; DITA-OT for pdf2 output using Idiom/RenderX by omitting footnote
