Your suggested style sheet customization worked for our documents; the links work and the correct text is displayed for the xref.</pre><pre> One thing that I noticed is that the page.citation dows not work for the titles, however. This isn't a big deal for me because I just turn them off on title xrefs, but is there a way to get that template to work with title xrefs the same way that they would for section xrefs? Right now they show up as "<title text> on page ."

Currently it gets the generated text right, but the link is to the id of the title element, and most title elements do not output an @id attribute, so the link fails. It seems this feature was broken some time ago when the xref templates were rewritten to support universal linking in DocBook 5. This customization of the template named 'simple.xlink' from fo/inline.xsl fixes the id problem. It only corrects the problem for @linkend references, not for @xlink:href references used in universal linking, but it should suffice for your needs. Search for 'linkend.candidate' to see where I made the changes. <xsl:template name="simple.xlink"> <xsl:param name="node" select="."/> <xsl:param name="content"> <xsl:apply-templates/> </xsl:param> <xsl:param name="linkend.candidate" select="$node/@linkend"/<<a rel="nofollow" href="mailto:$node/@linkend%22/">mailto:$node/@linkend%22/</a>>> <xsl:param name="xhref" select="$node/@xlink:href"/<<a rel="nofollow" href="mailto:$node/@xlink:href%22/">mailto:$node/@xlink:href%22/</a>>> <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="$xhref and (not($node/@xlink:type<<a rel="nofollow" href="mailto:$node/@xlink:type">mailto:$node/@xlink:type</a>>) or $node/@xlink:type='simple'<<a rel="nofollow" href="mailto:$node/@xlink:type=">mailto:$node/@xlink:type=</a>'simple'>)">  <xsl:variable name="is.idref"> <xsl:choose>   <xsl:when test="starts-with($xhref,'#') and (not(contains($xhref,'(')) or starts-with($xhref, '#xpointer(id('))">1</xsl:when> <xsl:otherwise>0</xsl:otherwise> </xsl:choose> </xsl:variable>  <xsl:variable name="is.olink"> <xsl:choose>   <xsl:when test="contains($xhref,'#') and @xlink:role = $xolink.role">1</xsl:when> <xsl:otherwise>0</xsl:otherwise> </xsl:choose> </xsl:variable> <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="$is.olink = 1"> <xsl:call-template name="olink"> <xsl:with-param name="content" select="$content"/> </xsl:call-template> </xsl:when> <xsl:when test="$is.idref = 1"> <xsl:variable name="idref"> <xsl:call-template name="xpointer.idref"> <xsl:with-param name="xpointer" select="$xhref"/> </xsl:call-template> </xsl:variable> <xsl:variable name="targets" select="key('id',$idref)"/> <xsl:variable name="target" select="$targets[1]"/> <xsl:call-template name="check.id.unique"> <xsl:with-param name="linkend" select="$idref"/> </xsl:call-template> <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="count($target) = 0"> <xsl:message> <xsl:text>XLink to nonexistent id: </xsl:text> <xsl:value-of select="$idref"/> </xsl:message> <xsl:copy-of select="$content"/> </xsl:when> <xsl:otherwise> <fo:basic-link internal-destination="{$idref}"> <xsl:apply-templates select="." mode="simple.xlink.properties"/> <xsl:copy-of select="$content"/> </fo:basic-link> </xsl:otherwise> </xsl:choose> </xsl:when>  <xsl:otherwise> <fo:basic-link external-destination="url({$xhref})"> <xsl:apply-templates select="." mode="simple.xlink.properties"/> <xsl:copy-of select="$content"/> </fo:basic-link>    <xsl:call-template name="hyperlink.url.display"> <xsl:with-param name="url" select="$xhref"/> </xsl:call-template> </xsl:otherwise> </xsl:choose> </xsl:when> <xsl:when test="$linkend.candidate"> <xsl:variable name="targets.candidate" select="key('id',$linkend.candidate)"/> <xsl:variable name="target.candidate" select="$targets.candidate[1]"/> <xsl:variable name="target.id"> <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="$target.candidate/self::title and $target.candidate/parent::/@id"> <xsl:value-of select="$target.candidate/parent::/@id"/> </xsl:when> <xsl:otherwise> <xsl:value-of select="$target.candidate/@id"/<<a rel="nofollow" href="mailto:$target.candidate/@id%22/">mailto:$target.candidate/@id%22/</a>>> </xsl:otherwise> </xsl:choose> </xsl:variable> <xsl:variable name="targets" select="key('id',$target.id)"/> <xsl:variable name="target" select="$targets[1]"/> <xsl:variable name="linkend" select="$target/@id"/<<a rel="nofollow" href="mailto:$target/@id%22/">mailto:$target/@id%22/</a>>> <xsl:call-template name="check.id.unique"> <xsl:with-param name="linkend" select="$linkend"/> </xsl:call-template> <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="count($target) = 0"> <xsl:message> <xsl:text>XLink to nonexistent id: </xsl:text> <xsl:value-of select="$linkend"/> </xsl:message> <xsl:copy-of select="$content"/> </xsl:when> <xsl:otherwise> <fo:basic-link internal-destination="{$linkend}"> <xsl:apply-templates select="." mode="simple.xlink.properties"/> <xsl:copy-of select="$content"/> </fo:basic-link> </xsl:otherwise> </xsl:choose> </xsl:when> <xsl:otherwise> <xsl:copy-of select="$content"/> </xsl:otherwise> </xsl:choose> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> Bob Stayton Sagehill Enterprises b...@sagehill.net<<a rel="nofollow" href="mailto:b...@sagehill.net">mailto:b...@sagehill.net</a>> From: Eric Nordlund<<a rel="nofollow" href="mailto:nordl...@cray.com">mailto:nordl...@cray.com</a>> Sent: Thursday, April 04, 2013 6:00 PM To: docbook-apps@lists.oasis-open.org<<a rel="nofollow" href="mailto:docbook-apps@lists.oasis-open.org">mailto:docbook-apps@lists.oasis-open.org</a>> Subject: [docbook-apps] xrefs to <title> elements don't work My company has a hundred or so books that were authored with Arbortext's graphic XML editor. I'm having a problem processing these books with XSL-FO because so many of the xrefs in these books are to title elements instead of the parent procedure, section, example, table, etc., elements. Is there a way to make these work in the XSL-FO output? I was thinking I could have a template that could recognize when an xref/@linkend pointed to the id of a title and then change the linkend to the id of the title's parent element, but I don't really know how to do that. Is there another way to do what I need to do?
