Subject: Re: DOCBOOK: Tertiaryie Error
/ Todd Babinski <todd.babinski@dynetics.com> was heard to say: | I am using DocBook v4.1 (SGML) with v1.57 of the stylesheets. I am | working on a document and am constructing the index by hand since I do | not want to rely on having Perl installed on every machine in order to | construct the index. All was going well until I got an odd error and I | cannot figure out what is going wrong. | | Here is a sample of what I have: | <indexentry> | <primaryie>Commands</primaryie> | <secondaryie>Help Stuff, see <xref | linkend="hmcommands"></secondaryie> | <tertiaryie>activate, see <xref | linkend="activatep"></tertiaryie> | ... | | The error I am getting for the tertiaryie line is the message: | xref to COMMAND unsupported The xref element requires the stylesheets to generate text, and the stylesheets don't know what to generate for xrefs to a command. I suppose the name of the command is the obvious thing. But in an index, 'see' should probably point to another index entry. And I would have expected you to code the index like this: <indexentry> <primaryie>Commands</primaryie> <secondaryie>Help Stuff</secondaryie> <seeie>whatever indexentry has hmcommands in it</seeie> <tertiaryie>activate</tertiaryie> <seeie>whatever indexentry has activatep in it</seeie> </indexentry> Be seeing you, norm -- Norman Walsh <ndw@nwalsh.com> | No one gossips about other http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/ | people's secret virtues.--Bertrand Chair, DocBook Technical Committee | Russell
