It depends on what you mean by "nothing seems to work". Assuming that you are authoring a DocBook document. Procedure: [1] Type the text of the hyperlink. Example: XMLmind XML Editor. [2] Select the text of the hyperlink by dragging your mouse over it as usual. [3] Use the DocBook toolbar and select ulink from the "blue underlined a" icon. (*ulink* and not link.) [4] Now "XMLmind XML Editor" is underlined and displayed in blue. You need to specify the href attribute of this newly created ulink element. 2 methods for that: [a] Usual one: * Click inside "XMLmind XML Editor". * Select the Attributes tool at the right of the window. * Click in the row starting with "href". * Type the target of the hyperlink. Example: http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/ * Press enter. [b] Cool one (works on Windows, Mac and Linux with Java 1.5): Use your web navigator. Drag the target of the hyperlink from the navigator and drop it on the blue, underlined "XMLmind XML Editor" in the XML editor. You are done. Yes, the ulink is not ``active'' inside the XML editor. That is, using the default configuration of the XML editor, you cannot follow the hyperlink inside the XML editor. But when you'll convert your DocBook document to HTML and/or to PDF you'll be able to do so using the *converted document* (i.e. opened in Internet Explorer or in Acrobat). --- PS: Please take the time to read http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/tutorial.html (also available in http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/user/userguide.pdf)or you will use your time because XMLmind XML Editor is not intuitive to use. The fact that the tutorial uses XHTML as an example is not a problem. Everything you'll learn applies to DocBook and to all the other document types.
