Hi Jeff, I'm using Xerces (the FOP default) with FOP (I've tried with both FOP 0.20.3 and the release candidate FOP 0.20.5). I'm not getting any errors relating to the links, and it seems to be finding the linkend without a problem (putting in appropriate generated link text or the specified xreflabel text). The link in the PDF is "clickable" (pointer changes and box appears when you mouse over it, etc.), it just doesn't do anything!
For added mysteriousness, <link>s don't seem to work at all. I am very bemused by this.

What errors, if any, do you see from your XSLT processor and FOP? -----Original Message----- From: Lisa Carey [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, December 13, 2002 11:53 AM To: Jeff Beal; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: DOCBOOK-APPS: links between documents Hi Jeff, I'm just making a single big PDF - I thought xref would work fine, but it isn't doing what it's supposed to. Hmmmm. Must poke at it some more.

If you are building a single PDF in a single pass with your XSLT processor and FOP, you shouldn't have any problems using xref across XML files. Jeff Beal -----Original Message----- From: Lisa Carey [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, December 13, 2002 11:30 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: DOCBOOK-APPS: links between documents Hi folks, I have quite a large book broken up into chapters, each of which is a separate xml file. The book file just uses entities to tie them all together. Anyway, I want to add some links between chapters - "You can find out more about x here" sort of thing - and am wondering how best to do it. <xref> works fine within chapters, but not between them (I get a link, but it doesn't go anywhere). Do I need to use <olink>s? I'm using FOP to generate my PDF output, if that makes any difference! cheers, Lisa
