Hi,
There is no parameter option to do that. You could customize the template
named "olink.hottext" in common/olink.xsl, which generates the link text. That
template has grown to be quite large to handle all the options for generating
the link text, so you would be copying a big template to your customization
layer. In that template is a big xsl:choose, with the first option being to
process the content:
<xsl:choose>
<!-- If it has elements or text (not just PI or comment) -->
<xsl:when test="child::text() or child::*">
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:when>
...
You would need to add a condition to that xsl:when's test attribute to get
finer control.

Subject: [docbook-apps] Changing default olink behavior
Hi there,
I would like to change the behavior of olinks so that by default the default
olink text from the olink database is used instead of the link text (the
contents of the olink element). However, I would like the writer to be able to
specify individual cases that the link text should be used. I can think of easy
ways to do this (e.g. I already preprocess the source, so I could just prune
the link text unless it has some flag like xrefstyle="use.olink.text"), but I
was wondering if there's a supported or better way.
Thanks,
David
