Re: [docbook-apps] XInclude problems after upgrading docbooc-xsl

When you set use.local.olink.style, it forms the link text from the <ttl> 
element and the @number attribute in the olink database.  But currently it 
uses the gentext template in the context with name="xref" instead of 
name="xref-number-and-title".  In the "xref" context, it uses just the 
title, which uses the <ttl> element.  In the "xref-number-and-title" 
context, it uses both number and title.  Not selecting the right context in 
this situation is a deficiency of the stylesheets, I would say.

One solution is to customize your gentext and copy the gentext template from 
the "xref-number-and-title" context to the "xref" context for chapter (and 
other numbered elements), something like this:

<xsl:param name="local.l10n.xml" select="document('')"/>
<l:i18n xmlns:l="http://docbook.sourceforge.net/xmlns/l10n/1.0";>
  <l:l10n language="en">
   <l:context name="xref">
     <l:template name="chapter" text="Chapter&#160;%n, %t"/>
     <!-- add other numbered elements here -->
   </l:context>
  </l:l10n>
</l:i18n>

You could also file a bug report on the DocBook SourceForge site about how 
use.local.olink.style is not using the proper gentext context when 
referencing numbered elements.
