I am working on a custom plugin for Eclipse online help so that we can replace our current authoring environment, which uses FrameMaker and RoboHelp.  One of the requirements is that the generated OLH output include "Related Information" links at the bottom of each HTML file (as defined by <reltable> elements in the source DITA maps).

My problem is that I do not see "Related Information" links in any of the generated HTML files.
  
Scenario 1:
When I build the source from the <bookmap>, I do not see "Related Information" links.

Scenario 2:
When I build the source from a single <map> (that includes a <reltable>), I do see "Related Information" links.


For both scenarios, I specify the same parameters in the Ant script; I changed only the value of  "args.input" (to specify either the overall book map or a single map).  For both scenarios, I specify <property name="args.rellinks" value="all"/> (for a final build, I'd specify value="nofamily"; note that my result doesn't change based on the specified value of "args.rellinks").

To verify that my custom plugin is not the source of my problem, I created a new Ant script to build the same DITA source files using the "eclipsehelp" transtype that ships with the DITA OT.  For the two scenarios, with same updates to the Ant file, I see the same results.

What am I missing?


Environment:  
     [echo] * DITA-OT version = 2.3.1
     [echo] * XML parser = Xerces
     [echo] * XSLT processor = Saxon    

I am building the DITA files using the DITA OT with no add-on tools with the base FOP (no XEP or AH).  The source files were authored in FrameMaker with the DITAFMx add-on.
