The scope attribute identifies the closeness of the relationship
between the current document and the target resource.
- Set scope to local when the resource is part of the current set
of content.
- Set scope to peer when the resource is part of the current set
of content but is not accessible at build time. An implementation
may choose to open such resources in the same browser window to distinguish
them from those with scope set to external.
- Set scope to external when the resource is not part of the current
information set and should open in a new browser window.
- See Using the -dita-use-conref-target value for more information
on -dita-use-conref-target.
If no value is specified, but the attribute
is specified on an ancestor within a map or within the related-links
section, the value will cascade from the closest ancestor. The
processing default is local.
