Subject: Re: [docbook-tc] proposal: add relatedlink element to topic

Index terms have to be located inline because their location identifies a target for a cross-reference. In the case of relatedlink, it sounds like the relationship is from (some parent of) the relatedlink element to some other place. If a relatedlink element appears in a para in a section in a chapter in a part in a book in a set, what determines the granularity of the link source? It sounds to me like perhaps relatedlink should be allowed inside an info wrapper and not in inline content. > Allowing relatedlink elements to appear inline permits them to be kept > close to the text they are related to.

Can you give a concrete example of a relatedlink element?
