Can DITA topics contain multiple internal links?
Indeed, DITA topics can contain multiple internal links, allowing for rich interconnections between different sections within the same topic. This capability enhances the document’s comprehensibility and enables readers to explore related content seamlessly. These links can be especially beneficial in complex or lengthy topics, where various sections need to reference each other to provide a holistic understanding.
Here’s an example of how a DITA topic can contain multiple internal links:
<!-- Example: Multiple Internal Links -->
