There were a couple small reasons that together made me think internal
olinks were better. Consistency, olinks everywhere therefore no
confusion, and xref's generated ugly output. You can't define the link
How about <link> http://docbook.org/tdg/en/html/link.html
That dawned on me about 30 seconds after I hit send.
link is very close to olink.
xref is not but lets us customize:
(http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/CustomXrefs.html)
So that I don't have another senior moment.
The options I'm aware of are:
olink - external links to other docs in this collection
link - hyperlinks within this doc
ulink - links to anywhere, uses URIs
xref - links within this document, template-able
I like that xrefs lets us insert things like Page # and Chapter # in the
output. I like pg#s in pdf links.
Should, for the moment, we try to use one or the other so that we don't
add to the tag proliferation, or does it matter? I can see cases for each.
Your thoughts?
