Hi all,
I have a set of documents that cross-reference each other. They also mention
each
other in their bibliography sections.
So, the most natural way I thought of was:
<biblioentry>
<olink targetdoc="some-other-document"/>
</biblioentry>
Indeed, since all the necessary document info is already in the olink database
- why
not use it? Unfortunately, DTD stopped me from doing that. :)
So, I tried to wrap the <olink/> above in <citetitle/>. That passed the
validation, but
the docbook-xsl stylesheets interpreted this as a reference to an external
bibliography file, and failing to load that external entity, emitted an error
message:
warning: failed to load external entity
"http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/bibliography/bibliography.xml";
No bibliography entry: idp71680 found in
http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/bibliography/bibliography.xml
So, I see two possible ways of dealing with this:
- to process the whole set of documents to create that "bibliography
collection"
(which, I guess, would work - but seems to be an overkill, given the
availability of the
required information in the olink database)
OR
- to customize the DTD to allow <olink/> as a direct child of <biblioentry/>
and to
customize the match="biblioentry" template to handle such olinks.
Am I missing some obvious way of dealing with this problem?
If I follow the latter approach, would it be a welcome addition to docbook-xsl
stylesheets?
Regards,
Alexey.
