Re: [docbook-apps] Cannot find (possible) markup error

[Stefan Hinz <stefan.hinz@oracle.com>]

Hallo Michael,

Since no one has replied so far, let me make a wild guess. Could it be 
you're using <xref>s that point to elements that have no title? For 
example, something like this:

<para>Details can be found under <xref linkend="details"/>.</para>

<para id="details">Here are more details.</para>

That would be valid, so xmllint wouldn't complain, but <xref/> wouldn't 
find a title at the link target to create a label from.

Maybe that's where the warnings come from.

See http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/CrossRefs.html for information on 
xref and friends.

Cheers,

Stefan
