Hi,
currently I'm playing with (extended) XLinks in DocBook5. However, at a first
glance, it looks a bit "academical" to me and I haven't seen them in wide use
yet. Fortunately, I've found an interesting example as a comment in the
xlink.xsl file of the DocBook XSLT2 stylesheets:
<citetitle xlink:type="extended">
<link xlink:type="locator"
xlink:href="http://docbook.org/";
xlink:label="target"
xlink:title="DocBook.org"/>
<link xlink:type="locator"
xlink:href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DocBook";
xlink:label="target"
xlink:title="DocBook on Wikipedia"/>
<phrase xlink:type="resource" xlink:label="source">DocBook</phrase>
<link xlink:type="arc" xlink:from="source" xlink:to="target"/>
</citetitle>
After transforming this piece it gives me this output (where the text in
brackets are all links):
DocBook [DocBook.org, DocBook on Wikipedia]
That's nice. :) However, it seems a bit overcomplicated at a first glance. The
output could also be achieved by using simple <link/>s. What's the (big?)
advantage in using the above construct?
Furthermore, I'm searching for a practical example for the extendedlink
element inside info. Unfortunately, the TDG doesn't help here, apart from
linking to the XLink spec.
Did anybody use (extended) XLinks already and have a nice tutorial, links,
howtos or any other piece, maybe related to DocBook?
Thanks a lot! :-)
