Re: [docbook-apps] can anyone recommend a more/better "marked up" form of...

Unfortunately, I compose my master document from several files that
are xi:included. Since the linkend attribute of biblioref and he same

unable to use biblioref and xref for citations unless I am inside my
Bibliography.xml document.

Does olink have any functionality similar to that of endterm for xref?
