Hmm, that's odd.  It worked for me.  Can you provide more details?

  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.

      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.
