Hi,

I'm a DocBook newbie, also trying to link to docs that have been 
XIncluded using Oxygen.

I tried the Olink stuff without much success, so after some tinkering I 
used this command:

<link linkend="unzip">unzip</link>

In the target file that I want to link to I added an ID:

<section xml:id="unzip">

When I transform using the standard Docbook PDF it seems to do the right 
thing. I have one PDF document, composed of all my XIncluded files. The 
hot links redirect to a the correct section of the document. I did not 
try HTML.

No need for olinkdb.xml, target.db etc. that I can see.  The only 
weirdness is that I must put content in the <link> element, I can't get 
it to find the "hot" text in the target document.

This is so easy that I figure I must be doing something wrong. If anyone 
can set me straight I would appreciate it.

Thanks,
Dave
