Thanks Bob - this is very helpful.
Sadly the URL generated stops after my # and doesn't include any of the
text that follows ("url.html#" instead of "url.html#one").
Since I'm officially stepping outside of the pure DTD by using <link>
here at all -- can you suggest an alternative that would use my entire
link including the page anchor?
Thanks again!

Hi Kathleen,
I think the basic problem with using link here is that it is not a
valid child of funcdef according to the DTD. So there is no
stylesheet template for link in the mode used for any of the four
styles of synopsis. You could get it to work by adding a template of
your own to your customization layer (here using the default style mode):
<xsl:template match="link" mode="kr-tabular">
<xsl:apply-templates select="."/>
</xsl:template>
At the risk of sounding pedantic, I'll point out that you seem to be
mixing your DocBook 4 and 5 syntaxes in your link element. The
Docbook MathML DTD that your DOCTYPE references is based on DocBook 4,
in which the link element uses @linkend. The @xlink:href attribute
was introduced in DocBook 5. The DocBook stylesheets are designed to
process both DocBook 4 and 5, so it will work.

*Subject:* [docbook-apps] Adding a link insided <funcprototype>
Hi all.
We're transforming XML in to HTML. We're trying to write a C
function prototype with the proper tagging to generate an anchor
tag for certain parts. For example, in the text
returnType functionName (paramType *paramName);
we would want <a...> anchor tags with an external URL target to be
generated for returnType and paramType. We tried using <link> as
shown in the following XML, but the N. Walsh DocBook stylesheets
ignore the <link> and no anchor tags gets generated:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE book PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook MathML Module
V1.1b1//EN"
"http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/mathml/1.1CR1/dbmathml.dtd";>
<refentry>
<refsynopsisdiv xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink";>
<funcsynopsis>
<funcprototype>
<funcdef><link
xlink:href="url.html#one">returnType</link>
<function>functionName</function>
</funcdef>
<paramdef><link
xlink:href="url.html#two">paramType</link>
<parameter>*paramName</parameter>
</paramdef>
</funcprototype>
</funcsynopsis>
</refsynopsisdiv>
</refentry>
Here is our minimal test stylesheet:
<?xml version='1.0'?>
<xsl:stylesheet
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"; version="1.0">
<xsl:import
href="http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/xhtml/docbook.xsl"/>
</xsl:stylesheet>
What are we missing? Any ideas will be most appreciated.
