Hi,
This turns out to be a bug in how the cross reference text to a varlistentry is
generated. The indexterm in the term is generating an empty <a name> anchor as part
of the xref text. When that is wrapped with the <a href> to make the link, that
produces an invalid nested <a> and browsers don't display it as a link.
This template could be added to your customization layer to patch the problem. I'll
fix it in the XSL source files for the next release.
<xsl:template match="d:varlistentry/d:term" mode="xref-to">
<xsl:param name="referrer"/>
<xsl:param name="xrefstyle"/>
<xsl:apply-templates mode="no.anchor.mode"/>
</xsl:template>
The mode="no.anchor.mode" causes it to omit indexterms from the xref text.

Hi,
It works for me in PDF output. Does your XML file validate? You didn't
mention what kind of output you are generating.

Hi,
Let's consider the following XML fragment:
<varlistentry xml:id="border-color">
<term>border-color</term>
<listitem>
<para>Specifies the color of all four borders of an
element.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
When I use <olink targetptr="border-color"/>, then the link to the
varlistentry is created properly.
Now, if there is an indexterm element like this:
<varlistentry xml:id="border-color">
<term>
<indexterm xml:id="id8856773342938128">
<primary>themes</primary>
<secondary>border style properties</secondary>
<tertiary>border-color</tertiary>
</indexterm>border-color</term>
<listitem>
<para>Specifies the color of all four borders of an
element.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
then the same <olink targetptr="border-color"/> does not generate a
link, even though it properly outputs the label, i.e. "border-color"
text.
Any ideas what's wrong with my docbook page?
Robert
