Re: [docbook-apps] how to link to a URL?

Hi,
That section failed to mention that if you add attributes in the xlink 
namespace, then you need to add the xlink namespace declaration in your 
document.  That is most easily done on the root element, so that it applies 
to the whole document:

  <book xmlns:xlink=http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink  etc.

I'll add that to the next edition of the book.
