Subject: Re: [docbook-apps] xref generated text to include book title


Olinks are designed to cross reference between documents.  The stylesheet can add the book title for all olinks, or for selected olinks using the xrefstyle attribute.  Olinks require some additional setup because they use an external database of link information, but once set up they are easy to use.  See this reference for more information:

Subject: [docbook-apps] xref generated text to include book title

Hi

 

I’m considering how I should create links between a set of manuals.  If I use xref and build as a ‘set’, I get cross-references to chapters in the form:

 

            Chapter 4, Title of Chapter

 

If this chapter is in a different book I would like the reference to say: BookTitle, ChapterNumber, ChapterTitle.  Is this possible?

 

I suppose I can do it by doing two xrefs, one to the book id and then one to the chapter id.  Is there a better way?

 

 

Thanks

Tim
