Subject: RE: [docbook-apps] olink for generating href links
Well, it just so happens that we'll be using Bob's suggestion (thank you again): the content writer is using Framemaker, and Framemaker doesn't like the modespec element... We'll be using the "type" attribute instead of "role". We're already usign the role attribute for creating targets in the href. Is it a bad idea to use the "type"?

Actually one of the list members responded to me directly and had a clever suggestion that worked in her case, I'm going to give it a try and maybe it will work for others, so I'm sharing it: 1 st Tag with the DTD declaration: -------------------------------------------------- <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE article SYSTEM "file:///C:/docbook44/docbookx.dtd" [ <!ENTITY Supplementary_Information.xml SYSTEM "Supplementary_Information.xml" NDATA SGML> ]> 2 nd Tag: (i gave it just before i closed the <articleinfo> </articleinfo> tag) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------- <modespec id="SUPP_INFO">Supplementary_Information.html</modespec> 3 rd Tag: where i wanted to generate the olink: ---------------------------------------------------------------- <para>For further information, refer to <olink linkmode="SUPP_INFO" targetdocent="Supplementary_Information.xml">Supplementary Information</olink>.</para> That generated the following hyperlink: <a href="Supplementary_Information.html" class="olink">Supplementary Information</a> -----Original Message----- From: Bob Stayton [mailto:bobs@sagehill.net] Sent: Friday, July 15, 2005 1:28 AM To: Webmaster; docbook-apps@lists.oasis-open.org Subject: Re: [docbook-apps] olink for generating href links Hi, Actually, your application is not what olinks are for. Olinks are for linking from one DocBook document to an id in another DocBook document. You are linking to a zip file, not a DocBook document. The element used for linking to non-DocBook documents is ulink. But the current ulink element's linking mechanism is a url, not an entity reference. You would have to customize the template that processes ulink to treat the url attribute as if it were an entityref. Instead of: <xsl:value-of select="@url"/> you would instead use: <xsl:value-of select="unparsed-entity-uri(@url)"/> But if the url for one ulink contains an actual url instead of an entity name, then this simple change will fail. You would need to make it conditional, perhaps by setting a role attribute.
