Subject: href customization in DocBook5


Dear all,

I would be really grateful for a steer on the following. I can see that
customizing the 'href.target' template is part of the answer but can't
find an example that is close to what I need.

I have a DocBook5 article which outputs to both html and fo/pdf. The
html is 'trimmed' to body only and dropped into a node of my company's
Drupal CMS corporate website. The pdf is uploaded to the website and
offered as optional download.

I have two kinds of links to webpages/websites: one is internal, like
this:

<link
xlink:href="/main/knowledge-centre/library/how-create-vm-from-iso">How
to create a VM by booting from an ISO</link>

Drupal fills in the full URL here. One reason I don't type the full URL
in the xml source is because there are webservers, a development server
and a production server, and it's helpful if the same link works on
both, which it does nicely.

The other type of links are just simple external links, such as:
<link xlink:href="http://www.docbook.org";>Created with DocBook</link>

So here is my question: in the fo/pdf output I want every <link> to be
converted to a hyperlink within the pdf, with me having some control
over the formatting of the link text.

This means for internal links I need to prepend the rest of the website
URL.

And for external links only, I would like the URL to also appear as a
footnote.

I appreciate your suggestions... Phillip
