I am working on a docbook 5 modular users guide (each chapter in separate file) with html, and I am now sort of stuck on the cross-referencing matter. For a single-file document the xref elements are very convenient to use, with xxm keeping track of available linkends. A quite extensive web research on how to work with cross-referencing in modular documents has pointed me to the conclusion that one should use olinks (or links with xml:href attributes) with target database(s) to get things right. The whole olink machinery seems quite complex, and perhaps a bit overkill for modular document cross-referencing (is seems more designed for cross referencing within collections of books).
Before spending a lot more time on this I would like to get some input from other users. * What are best practices for cross referencing within a modular document? * Are there any good tutorial style web resources on modular documents and cross-referencing (using xxe)? * Is olinking with target databases supported by xxe, and if so, to what extent? /Magnus -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
