Re: [docbook-apps] XREFing a phrase - page number appearing too

["Bob Stayton" <bobs@sagehill.net>]

Hi George,

The following xrefstyle should work, but it doesn't in the 1.69.1
stylesheets:

<xref endterm="functionName"
xrefstyle="select: nopage"
linkend="paraFunctionName"/>

I just fixed a bug in the stylesheet that prevented it from working, but
that will be in the next snapshot release.

Anyway, you may want more global control than putting an xrefstyle attribute
on each instance.  The page reference is generated by a template with
mode="page.citation", with the template matching on the target element (the
one with the id).  In your example, the target element is the para
containing the phrase, so this template in your customization would turn it
off for all xrefs to para:

<xsl:template match="para" mode="page.citation"/>

However, you may want this behavior only for certain paras that contain your
functions.  You could control it more finely by adding a role to your para
and the the template:

   <para id="paraFunctionName" role="function">here is a phrase <phrase
id="functionName">function</phrase>.</para>

Then this template could be more selective:

<xsl:template match="para[@role='function']" mode="page.citation"/>

These will work with the currently released stylesheet.

Subject: [docbook-apps] XREFing a phrase - page number appearing too


Hello -

Using the FO DpcBook XSL, I'm trying to follow create an XREF to a
<phrase> in a <para>, where the <xref>'s link will display the text
contained by <phrase>.  It seems from the guide that he following would
work. However, in the resulting PDF, a link containing the page number
in brackets appears to the right of the link containing the phrase:

Here's the target:

   <para id="paraFunctionName">here is a phrase <phrase
id="functionName">function</phrase>.</para>


Here's the XREF:

   <para>phrase xref: <xref endterm="functionName"
linkend="paraFunctionName"/></para>


In the PDF, this results in 2 adjacent links - one containing the text,
the 2nd containing the page number:

     function [3]

Is there a way to omit the page number.

Using 1.69.1 of the Docbook XSLs & a customization of Docbook XML 4.3

Thank you -
