The error message is misleading but your macro indeed has a problem.
With DocBook 5, a link element may have a linkend attribute or a
xlink:href attribute but not both.
This command:
<command name="insert"
parameter="into {http://docbook.org/ns/docbook}link"; />
inserts a link having a linkend attribute. After that, there is no way
to add a xlink:href attribute.
You need to replace it by:
<command name="insert"
parameter="into #template({http://docbook.org/ns/docbook}link,href)" />
[[[This element template is defined in docbook5.xxe:
<elementTemplate name="href">
<link xmlns="http://docbook.org/ns/docbook"; xlink:href="???"
xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink";></link>
</elementTemplate>
]]]
This gives us:
<command name="db5.insertLink2">
<macro undoable="true">
<sequence>
<command name="insert"
parameter="into
#template({http://docbook.org/ns/docbook}link,href)" />
<command name="putAttribute"
parameter="[implicitElement] {http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink}href"; />
</sequence>
</macro>
</command>
<binding>
<keyPressed code="F3" />
<command name="db5.insertLink2" />
</binding>
which works fine.
