Yes, olinks are meant for cross referencing between documents. In 4.2, there are two kinds of olinks. The older entity-based processing is still usable in the SGML version with DSSSL. The newer XSLT-based processing is only implemented in the XSL stylesheets for XML. The entity-based version is documented in: http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/dsssl/current/doc/olinksemantics.html -- Bob Stayton 400 Encinal Street Publications Architect Santa Cruz, CA 95060 Technical Publications voice: (831) 427-7796 The SCO Group fax: (831) 429-1887 email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
