Hi,
If you are dealing with a single book, then here is the simplified version.
This works with either DocBook 4 or 5.
1. Process the entire book (with XIncludes resolved) with the stylesheet
parameter collect.xref.targets="only".
That will generate a target.db file for all the potential links in the book.
2. Create your olinkdb.xml file containing just this:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE targetset [
<!ENTITY mybook SYSTEM "target.db">
]>
<targetset>
<document targetdoc="MyBook">
&mybook;
</document>
</targetset>
3. When you process your book, set these params:
collect.xref.targets="yes"
target.database.document="olinkdb.xml"
The first param ensures the target.db file is updated before olinks are
resolved, in case any of the chapter files were changed.
If you process just a single chapter for test purposes, set
collect.xref.targets="no", as "yes" would overwrite the target.db data with
just the content of that chapter.
If your olinkdb.xml file has just a single document, then your olink
elements can omit the targetdoc attribute, because there is no ambiguity
regarding the target document.

Subject: [docbook-apps] Docbook 5 and olink
Hello,
I for sure wasn't clear enough. I'm working on a pretty long document,
splitted in Introduction, some chapters and appendices (intro.xml,
chapter01.xml, chapter02.xml, ... ... appendix01.xml, ...).
It goes well, either as a pdf file or as chunked html, but I just don't
find
how I can make active <a href=...> links from for e.g. Chapter 3 to
Appendix
D.
For short, I don't understand how to establish links across different
documents.
I don't know what to put in olinkdb.xml file that is compatible with
Docbook
5.0, and don't understand the explanations about precedent versions of
Docbook.
