Subject: [docbook-apps] Can olinks replace xrefs and links?
Is there any reason not use olinks instead of xrefs and links? Traditionally we've used: - xrefs for autogenerated cross-reference text, point to targets within the current document. - links for authored cross-reference text, point to targets within the current document. - olinks for either autogenerated or authored link text, point to targets in other managed documents. But as far as I can tell, olinks seem to work just fine internally too, with or without generated target text. In other words, it can do everything that xrefs and links can do. So my thought is, why should writers be forced to juggle four kinds of cross-reference elements when 2 (olinks and ulinks) will do? Another motivation in my case: converting an existing docset to docbook is simpler with only two cross-reference elements.
