Re: [docbook-apps] email Element PDF Transformation Problems

I think this is a problem with Acrobat, not the stylesheet.  The fo stylesheet does not write an active mailto link. If you look in your fo output, you can confirm that there is no external link with a url. 

 

You are seeing a feature in Acrobat from the Preferences->General screen for "Automatically detect URLs from text".  Apparently it doesn't work very well.

Hi!

 

Uhm, I just noticed that I do have this problem, too. So I can confirm this issue for docbook-xls-1.69., docbook-xml-4.4, saxon 6.5.5, xep 4.6 as well as xep 4.5.

 

My structure is

 <bookinfo>
[..]
  <author>
   <firstname>Foo</firstname><surname>Bar</surname>
   <email>Foo.Bar@foo.net</email>
  </author>

[..]

</bookinfo>

 

Greetings

Jeannine

docbook-rng-5.0b5 docbook-xsl-snapshot (current) saxon-6.5.5 xep-4.6 (current) oxygen-7.1.0 (eclipse-3.1.2 plugin)

 

The following informaltable fragment:

 

…

…

   <row>

      <entry>

         <personname>Foo Bar</personname>

      </entry>

      <entry>

         <email>Foo.Bar@foo.net</email>

      </entry>

      <entry>

         <phrase role="invited">invited</phrase>

      </entry>

     <entry/>

   </row>

…

…

 

when transformed to pdf produces the following mailto link:

 

Bar@foo.net

 

dropping the Foo. prefix

 

This does not occur with html transformations.

 

Is this a docbook or xep issue?
