How to Remove the Related Links Section

Suppose that you want the related links sections to be removed from the PDF output.

To add this functionality using an Oxygen Publishing Template, follow these steps:
  1. If you have not already created a Publishing Template, you need to create one. For details, see How to Create a Publishing Template.
  2. Link the folder associated with the publishing template to your current project in the Project view.
  3. Using the Project view, create an xslt folder inside the project root folder.
  4. In this folder, create an XSL file (for example, named merged2mergedExtension.xsl) with the following content:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
  xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
  exclude-result-prefixes="xs"
  version="2.0">

  <xsl:template match="*[contains(@class, ' topic/related-links ')]">
    <!-- Remove. -->
  </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
  5. Open the template descriptor file associated with your publishing template (the .opt file) and set the XSLT stylesheet created in the previous step with the com.oxygenxml.pdf.css.xsl.merged2merged XSLT extension point:
    <publishing-template>
  ...
  <pdf>
    ...        
    <xslt>
      <extension 
        id="com.oxygenxml.pdf.css.xsl.merged2merged"
        file="xslt/merged2mergedExtension.xsl"/>
    </xslt>
  6. Edit the DITA Map PDF - based on HTML5 & CSS transformation scenario.
  7. In the Templates tab, click the Choose Custom Publishing Template link and select your template.
  8. Click OK to save the changes and run the transformation scenario.
