DITA map container elements missing in AEM Sites output
This article explains how to troubleshoot and resolve issues where container elements defined in a DITA map don’t appear in the generated Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) Sites output.
Description description
Environment
Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) Sites (all versions)
Symptoms
- When generating Sites output from a DITA map in Adobe Experience Manager, certain container elements (such as section headers or task groupings) are missing from the published content.
- This results in incomplete documentation structure or missing navigation elements in the output.
- The issue is typically identified by comparing the intended DITA map structure with the actual Sites output.
Resolution resolution
Follow the steps below to resolve the issue:
-
Review the structure of your source DITA map to ensure that all container elements (such as section headers or task groupings) are correctly defined and not excluded by any filtering or conditional processing.
-
Check your AEM Sites output configuration to confirm that all DITA map elements are mapped and supported in your output profile.
-
Review the transformation and publishing logs for any warnings or errors related to the missing container elements.
-
If the container elements are still missing after these checks, gather the following information for further investigation:
-
The relevant DITA map file
-
The Sites output URL where the issue is observed
-
Any relevant transformation logs
-
-
If the issue persists, contact Adobe Support and provide the collected information for further assistance.
