Hi Bob, thanks for your reply.

Not that I can see. there are only 3 explicit olinks in the offending file: <olink targetdoc="impnotes" targetptr="mod-set-example"/> <olink targetdoc="impnotes"/> <olink targetdoc="man"/> their titles contain no olinks (just ulinks). however, I have some entities, which contain olinks, which _might_ refer to elements with entities containing olinks in the title.... and indeed, there is one! (it would be nice if the error message were more clear!)

================ impnotes: <section id="mod-dynload"><title>Function &mod-dynload;</title> ..... ================ impent <!ENTITY mod-dynload '<olink targetdoc="impnotes" targetptr="mod-dynload"><function>SYS::DYNLOAD-MODULES</function></olink>'> ================ clisp-link &mod-dynload; ================

so, indeed, the offending file clisp-link uses olink to an element with an olink in the title. alas, even after editing impnotes to remove olink from title I get the same error. it might be actually hard to search for olink through all the titles. is there an automatic way? it would be nice if there were a warning for each "olink in title" event.

thanks a lot!
