15.10.3 Linking to elements below topic level

Normally, Mif2Go can use a FrameMaker newlink marker or cross-reference marker to create a link for an element ID. However, to provide a destination for a link to a target element that is below topic level, in some cases you might have to insert a DITALinkElemID marker in text just before the link, and a DITAElemID marker (or DITAParentID marker) in the target text.

The content of the DITALinkElemID marker must match the content of the DITAElemID marker or DITAParentID marker (see §15.4.6.1 Specifying a value for the id attribute). This is to ensure the correct link target in cases where the built-in rules to determine the target element ID provide the wrong choice or none at all. Mif2Go places the DITALinkElemID marker content after the target topic ID in the href attribute of the <xref> element.
