How to restrict AEM preset from generating site pages for the DITA referenced links used in DITA topic ?

[MayurSatav]

Hi,

I have created DITA topics as well as DITA map for 100+ articles.I created different folder for each language and under each language folder i am having nearly 10-15 DITA topics as well as DITA maps. Take the example of below structure.

But whenever I am adding article5 topic path as xref  in article1 topic then after AEM site generation it is creating article 5 page under mySite/ca/article1 along with article1 page. So basically whenever i am adding any DITA article path in any page as xref it is creating page for those also.

Anyone knows how we can restrict DITA from generating site page for the xref links ?

@MayurSatav : By default DITA defines "scope" = "local" on xref links (refer oasis documentation) and any local xrefs linked topics will be created as local page under the generated map.

Please refer concept of "peer" links for referring to topics that are part of another map in the same system - refer documentation for Guides on this topic

I hope this helps
