booklist

The <booklist> element is a general purpose element, designed for use in specializations, that references a topic or map containing a list of items within the book. For example, it could be used to reference a topic that contains a list of authors for the book. When a more specific element is already available, such as <tablelist> for a list of tables, use that element instead.

Attributes

The following attributes are available on this element: Universal attribute group, Link relationship attribute group (with a narrowed definition of @href, given below), Attributes common to many map elements, @navtitle and @copy-to from Topicref element attributes group, outputclass, and @keyref.

@href: References a manual listing for the current element. See The href attribute for detailed information on supported values and processing implications. If no @href is specified, processors can choose to generate an appropriate listing for this element.
