Re: [docbook-apps] Can't get olink to generate a working link between books in a set

Hi Bob, Sorry this is so complicated. If I understand, in the Oxygen transformation scenario, you have set the stylesheet parameter 'targets.filename' to 'target-fo.db'. When you process it, it seems that Oxygen is trying to write the target-fo.db file into the Oxygen location of the

Hi Bob, Thank you for the suggestion. This is unfamiliar territory for me, and I seem to have run into an obstacle implementing this suggestion: "So you need to use your PDF stylesheet to generate separate data files for PDF output." Starting with a single book, I have created a

Ah, you need to keep your generated data files for HTML and PDF outputs separate.  That is, you need to generate target data with the stylesheet you are using to generate output.  When you use your HTML stylesheet, it generates target data with .html references.  So you need to use your PDF

Hi Bob, That would make sense. I’ve tried it, and although it now seems to recognize the correct ID, it still comes up within a pointer to an html file: I’ve used the sample xml code that you suggested for my olinkdb.xml file, as well as a number of other combinations. But they

Hi Bob, The problem is the setup of the target database document, with a sitemap and separate baseuri attributes for each book.  That setup is for separate book PDF files trying to link to each other. If you are processing the books as a single set element, you should instead set it up as a

Hi Bob, I would need a little more clarity on your set up.  Do you use targetdoc attributes in your olink elements, and are they different for each book? Is your target database document for PDF output set up as a single document, and do you generate a single target.db file for the set?

Dear friends, After almost two years being moved to other tasks, I now have an opportunity to complete this project. The HTML output is working fine, but the issue now is PDF (FO) output. Here's a summary of what we would like to do: We have several books that we can publish individually in

Hi Bob, I think the problem is in the targetdoc attributes in your olinkdb.xml file. The targetdoc value in both a document's olink element and in the database document element is just an identifier name, not a filename. Those identifiers must match, and they will when you remove the ".xml"

Dear friends, I am having problems getting olinks to correctly generate links between books in a set in HTML output. I want to be able to output independent books that contain references to content in other books, and when the books are produced as part of a set, these references should
