Re: [docbook-apps] PDF olinking and FOP

["Bob Stayton" <bobs@sagehill.net>]

Hi,
When FOP was updated to 0.95, the old fox:outline extension element (and its 
descendant elements) for bookmarks was replaced with the XSL-FO 1.1 standard 
fo:bookmark element and its children.  The old fox:outline contained the 
fox:destination elements, but they are not needed in the new bookmarks so they were 
not retained.

However, if they are needed for olink destinations, then they should be restored.  I'm 
not sure where to do that, though.  In the old fop.xsl, they were all contained in the 
fox:outline structure, and were not placed on the destination fo:blocks.  I guess the 
id on the destination block was sufficient for connecting a reference through the 
fox:destination element.  Putting them all in the fox:outline was easy, as it could 
all be done in one place.

Can fox:destination be put into the fo:bookmark structure without generating errors? 
If not, can a fox:outline structure still be added along side the fo:bookmark 
structure and not produce errors?  Or does each fox:destination have to be placed on 
the destination block itself?  If the latter, then that requires making changes in 
many places in the stylesheet for all the elements that might need them.
