Subject: Re: DOCBOOK: Docbook : Cross reference between Books
Hello Bob, Thank you very much for your reply. I could not still figure out something that suits my(company's) requirements Here is our environment: 1. We have Admin Guide and User Guide(and few more) which are in turn modularised, means, there would be a single Admin guide for the whole product or one for each of the sub-product 2. We use DSSL stylesheet with Docbook 4.1 3. ***We generate PDF, HTML, PS, RTF at the same time*** 4.We use the external general entity to refer to the SGML sources, which exist in guide-level directories, and they all use a single entity file. My question is : Does these output formats need specific olink parameters for each of them? Is there any other web location where I can find more examples and information? Thank you very much for your patience and time. Philip Bob Stayton wrote: > On Fri, Feb 21, 2003 at 06:09:32PM +0100, Philip U.
