Hi Denis,
At first I was not able to duplicate this problem. When I processed your example in a
Docbook 5 document with the namespaced stylesheets, I got the correct result:
<p><a class="link" href="my.mp3" target="_blank">Audio</a></p>
Then I noticed that your output included class="ulink". That tells me your DocBook5
document is being processed with the non-namespaced stylesheet. That stylesheet must
convert the DocBook5 document to a DocBook4 document before proceeding. In the case
of a link element with @xlink:href, it converts it to a ulink, and fails to pass along
the xlink:show attribute because there is no comparable attribute in DocBook 4. This
behavior is not new to 1.77.0, as I got the same incorrect results with 1.76.1.
I would suggest switching over to the namespaced version of the stylesheets if you are
processing DocBook 5 documents to avoid such incompatibilities.

Subject: [docbook-apps] xlink:show="new" support omits link element
Version 1.77.0 adds support for xlink:show="new", so you can open an HTML link in a
new window instead of replacing the current window. It works for various inline
elements, but not for link itself. Is this a bug? For example this link
<para><link xlink:href="my.mp3" xlink:show="new">Audio</link></para>
... generates XHTML link output with the wrong target value:
<p><a class="ulink" href="my.mp3" target="_top">Audio</a></p>
Changing the element from link to phrase works:
<para><phrase xlink:href="my.mp3" xlink:show="new">Audio</phrase></para>
Resulting in the target I expect:
<p><span class="phrase"><a class="phrase" href="my.mp3"
target="_blank">Audio</a></span></p>
As far as I can trace it, inline.xsl seems to omit link when it enumerates all the
supported elements, so simple.xlink doesn't get called.
Thanks,
Denis
