Re: [docbook] Referring to Appendices from within a chapter

Well, olinks may not be necessary in this case.  Is the appendix in the 
same document as the text referencing the appendix?  If so, then you can 
use an xref element with a linkend attribute matching the id value of the 
appendix:

<xref linkend="name"/>

Then the stylesheet will generate the cross reference text and make it a 
hot link.

I recommend using Olinks. See Bob Stayton's chapter from DocBook XSL:

Subject: [docbook] Referring to Appendices from within a chapter

Hi,

I'm new to docbook (literally started with it yesterday), and am writing
up
some system documentation using a book/chapter model.

I've created a few appendices, and was wondering how to refer (link) to
them
using the '<appendix id="name">' they were created with instead of doing
a
<link> to an <xref>, or whether that is the right approach to take at
all.

Thanks

Stuart J. Browne
