Subject: DOCBOOK: Re: Linking in DocBook V5.0
/ Jirka Kosek <jirka@kosek.cz> was heard to say: | <xref xlink:href="#some_id_in_doc"/> | | This link can't be checked by validation, you must check it when | processing document by stylesheet or some clever XLink processor (if | there is any). Well, this link won't be checked by DTD validation. But there's no reason why a more sophisticated processing application (an editor, for example) couldn't check this link. | Considering validation and comfortable editing issues I'm not sure | whether removing linkend in future is wise. But having two attributes | (linkend, xlink:href) for doing almost same in parallel brings many | troubles and uncertainity in processing as Norm pointed earlier. It is a | hard decision. We're going to have both, at least for V5.0. Hopefully we'll get feedback on whether or not it's a problem in practice. Be seeing you, norm -- Norman Walsh <ndw@nwalsh.com> | A man who is 'of sound mind' is http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/ | one who keeps the inner madman Chair, DocBook Technical Committee | under lock and key.--Val\'ery
