A screenshot showing the duplicated links

My library consists of the OpenUP content that comes with V1.5.1.1 of EPF composer and my own plugins that extend this content.

I have created my own delivery process that uses method content from both OpenUP and my own plug-ins.

The method content itself has been seperately extended and replaced or replaced by my own tasks, work products and guidance.

When I generate the website the guidance elements seem to have multiple links to the original content of the related elements and the descriptors for those same elements.

My guess is that this has happened due to a dependency problem, where I have replaced a number of interrelated guidance and method content elements. 

However, what is strange is that the linked content is different, it is as if the process descriptors have not synchronised with the original material.

Please get in touch if you are unable to reproduce this.

Hi

When you mouse over those duplicate entries, please note the URLs associated with them in your browser status bar. They should all be different, right? If so, then it's a currently known design that we generate links from all the descriptors, but the link names are all the same, thus giving the users the false impression of duplication. This might not be the best design, and we can consider some refinement over this.

Thanks much.
