Hi Karen,
If you are going to use an xml:id attribute value for the targetdoc, it should be that of the top level element in your assembled book. In your example, you seem to be referring to a chapter, so I don't think that's quite right. The targetdoc value needs to cover all the content of an assembled book, not just one chapter. Think of an olink as a two-part address: the first part (targetdoc) references the book, and the second part (targetptr) references a point within that book. Only when you mean to link to the book element itself would they match.

Urp, correction:

See the chapter on <olink targetdoc="lists" targetpr="lists">creating
lists</olink>

I am working on a styleguide and want to clarify naming conventions

element so want to make sure that the following is correct (in
reference to a file named filenames.xml):

For simplicity's sake, use the document's xml:id attribute as the
document identifier; it will then function as both the targetdoc and
targetptr element. So the olink reference for this file would be
filenames, as in this example:

See the chapter on <olink targetdoc="lists" targetpr="lists"</olink>

Thanks -- I don't know why I have such a block about the olink element.
