Re: [docbook-apps] olink and website - resend

Hi Dave,
It seems the information on the the sourceforge site is quite out of date. 
Olinking changed many years ago to use the XSLT process instead of entities 
to resolve olinks.  I would suggest you browse the HTML documentation in the 
"example" directory that is included with the full website-2.6.0 package 
that can be downloaded from SourceForge.  That describes briefly how to use 
olinks in website.

There is more on olinking in the website chapter in my book, and there is a 
whole chapter on olinking as well:
