Subject: DocBook 5 and Extended XLinks
Hi, currently I'm playing with (extended) XLinks in DocBook5. However, at a first glance, it looks a bit "academical" to me and I haven't seen them in wide use yet. Fortunately, I've found an interesting example as a comment in the xlink.xsl file of the DocBook XSLT2 stylesheets: <citetitle xlink:type="extended"> <link xlink:type="locator" xlink:href="http://docbook.org/" xlink:label="target" xlink:title="DocBook.org"/> <link xlink:type="locator" xlink:href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DocBook" xlink:label="target" xlink:title="DocBook on Wikipedia"/> <phrase xlink:type="resource" xlink:label="source">DocBook</phrase> <link xlink:type="arc" xlink:from="source" xlink:to="target"/> </citetitle> After transforming this piece it gives me this output (where the text in brackets are all links): DocBook [DocBook.org, DocBook on Wikipedia] That's nice. :) However, it seems a bit overcomplicated at a first glance. The output could also be achieved by using simple <link/>s. What's the (big?) advantage in using the above construct? Furthermore, I'm searching for a practical example for the extendedlink element inside info. Unfortunately, the TDG doesn't help here, apart from linking to the XLink spec. Did anybody use (extended) XLinks already and have a nice tutorial, links, howtos or any other piece, maybe related to DocBook? Thanks a lot! :-) -- Gruß/Regards Thomas Schraitle
