RE: DOCBOOK-APPS: links between documents

Hi Jeff,

I'm just making a single big PDF - I thought xref would work fine, but it
isn't doing what it's supposed to.

Hmmmm.  Must poke at it some more.

Are you creating a single PDF for the entire book, or building multiple
PDF's (one for each chapter)?  If you are building a single PDF in a single
pass with your XSLT processor and FOP, you shouldn't have any problems using
xref across XML files.

Hi folks,

I have quite a large book broken up into chapters, each of which is a
separate xml file.  The book file just uses entities to tie them all
together. Anyway, I want to add some links between chapters - "You can find
out more about x here" sort of thing - and am wondering how best to do it.
<xref> works fine within chapters, but not between them (I get a link, but
it doesn't go anywhere).  Do I need to use <olink>s?

I'm using FOP to generate my PDF output, if that makes any difference!

cheers,

Lisa
