Is there a way in the customization layer to check for different types of
links?
What I want to do is in PDFs, do the following:
- For xref links (links within a guide) and link/href links (links to
websites), do the standard blue link text
- For link/linkend links (links to other guides), do not have any
formatting.
The reason for this is that for our PDF output, where each guide is a
separate file, the links between guides do not work. They're currently
formatted as links, but aren't clickable.
In the WebHelp output, which is generated as a single collection, the links
do work, so I want to leave them as links in the source file.
I know that olinks are designed to be used for links between documents, but
my understanding is that olinks do not work in WebHelp output.
I tried a workaround in the FO XSL file where only xref links were blue:
<xsl:attribute-set name="xref.properties">
<xsl:attribute name="color">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="self::xref">blue</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>inherit</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:attribute-set>
But ended up with no formatting on any links.
Thanks,
Janice
