Re: [docbook-apps] ulink - oxygen18 - jing

Thanks Tom.  Point taken, I forgot and went off Bob's edit 4.
<Link> works fine,  Jing is happy again.

[ but don't forget that the xlink name space needs to be bound e.g.
<article xml:id="xxxxxx" xmlns="http://docbook.org/ns/docbook"; 
version="5.1" xml:lang="EN" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink";>
This all seems to have been dropped from Bob's edit 4 - it still quotes 
<ulink> as the way to do it.
**** Bob - how about edit 5 ? **** ]

But shouldn't the style sheets have been updated to forget about deleted 
elements in docbook 5?  Don't maintain obsolete elements.
