Issue

Customer can't use the <xref> element for topics that are in a different ditamap

Solution

Correct, this is something that isn't currently supported. The workaround for this would be to take the different ditamap files and nest them under a parent ditamap so that these would all be considered one ditamap and able to be processed by ePublisher. For example, your parent ditamap would look like this:

<topicref 
  format="ditamap"
   href="map1.ditamap"
   navtitle="Map 1">
</topicref>

<topicref 
  format="ditamap"
   href="map2.ditamap"
   navtitle="Map 2">
</topicref>

<topicref 
  format="ditamap"
   href="map2.ditamap"
   navtitle="Map 3">
</topicref>
