No. This issue is not related to XMLmind. The translation performed by herold (http://www.dbdoclet.org/) is simply incorrect: * <ulink url="test.xml"> should be something like <link linkend="id1"/> * First section should have something like "id1" as its ID attribute, that is: --- <sect1 id="id1"> <title>test.html</title> --- Therefore, the first thing to do is (rather than trying to find workarounds for the above deficiencies): * Find if herold has options which may be used to generate a more consistent DocBook. * OR Find a tool which does a better job than herold.
