It appears you are processing DocBook 5 documents with the original non-namespaced version of the stylesheets. Because DocBook 5 elements are in the DocBook namespace, they must first be stripped of that namespace before that version of the stylesheets can match on the element names. The internal stripping process basically converts a DocBook5 document to a DocBook4 document. That's where the ulink comes from.
If you are processing DocBook5 documents, you can avoid that problem of ulink conversion by switching to the namespaced version of the DocBook XSL stylesheets. With those stylesheets, no conversion is necessary and so there are no side effects from it. In general, that is the recommended practice, as it avoids that conversion step. In that case, your customization layer needs to add the namespace prefix to any element names, as for example the d:link element in this example: <xsl:when test="self::d:link and @linkend">yellow</xsl:when> See this reference for more information: http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/CustomDb5Xsl.html Bob Stayton Sagehill Enterprises [email protected] ----- Original Message ----- From: [email protected] To: [email protected] ; [email protected] Cc: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, December 17, 2009 9:27 AM Subject: [docbook-apps] Antwort: Re: [docbook-apps] Antwort: Re: [docbook-apps] DocBook 5 - different color for hyperlinks in PDF output Hello Johannes, hello Scott, many thanks for your quick replies! It turned out that somehow the linking-element <link xlink:href="someURL">hotlink</link> is internally converted to ulink, that's what the debugging-code from Johannes told me. So I modified my customization layer like that: <xsl:attribute-set name="xref.properties"> <xsl:attribute name="color"> <!--<xsl:message> <xsl:value-of select="concat('*** ',local-name(.))"/>" </xsl:message> <xsl:for-each select="@*"> <xsl:message> <xsl:value-of select="concat('### ',namespace-uri(.),' - ',local-name(.))"/> </xsl:message> </xsl:for-each>--> <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="self::link and @linkend">yellow</xsl:when> <xsl:when test="self::ulink">green</xsl:when> <xsl:when test="self::xref and @linkend">orange</xsl:when> <xsl:when test="self::glossseealso and @otherterm">grey</xsl:when> <xsl:otherwise>blue</xsl:otherwise> </xsl:choose> </xsl:attribute> </xsl:attribute-set> and it worked! Now, of course I would love to know: why? Anyway, many thanks for your help, cheers, Benno Johannes Katelaan <[email protected]> 17.12.2009 17:06 An [email protected] Kopie [email protected] Thema Re: [docbook-apps] Antwort: Re: [docbook-apps] DocBook 5 - different color for hyperlinks in PDF output Benno, that's hard to say. What about adding debug code like this to your xsl:attribute element: <xsl:message> <xsl:value-of select="concat('*** ',local-name(.))"/> </xsl:message> <xsl:for-each select="@*"> <xsl:message> <xsl:value-of select="concat('### ',namespace-uri(.),' - ',local-name(.))"/> </xsl:message> </xsl:for-each> This should give you sufficient information to diagnose why it doesn't work as expected.

Is it a namespace-problem with xlink: ?

I'm creating internal links using olink. These must not be affected by this customization. So I think I may not use xref.properties.
