Subject: RE: DOCBOOK-APPS: More performance issues with XSL 1.52.2
Olinks in general interest me. However, the entire set (25 books) does need to be built as a single chunk. (I could take one book out if I had to, but that wouldn't get me anywhere - it's a small book.) Jeff Beal Ansys, Inc.

It sounds like you are processing very large documents, such as sets of books? You might consider processing smaller modules and using olinks to connect them. The 1.52 stylesheets have a new olink implementation that makes olinking easier. I haven't publicized it yet because 1.52.2 has a little glitch that's fixed in CVS, but I can help you try it out if you are interested. -- Bob Stayton 400 Encinal Street Publications Architect Santa Cruz, CA 95060 Technical Publications voice: (831) 427-7796 Caldera International, Inc. fax: (831) 429-1887 email: bobs@caldera.com
