Hi Tim, I'm not sure what you mean by "select: nnnn", because the 'select' style uses keywords. In the olink chapter, I mention that olinks add two more possible keywords: docname and docnamelong. So this should work:

<olink role="select: docname" ...

Hi,

Using olinking I’ve got <xsl:param name="olink.doctitle" select="yes"/> set because when I’m referring to chapters or sections I want the xref text to indicate the name of the book in which the chapter or section lives.

However, this means that when I olink to a book id it gives a reference of the form: Installation Guide in Installation Guide. My first thought is that I want to suppress the “in Installation Guide”, but if all book titles are being italicized then I guess it is the first bit that I want to suppress and just have in Installation Guide.

Seems to me that this behaviour should be the default. What is the easiest way to fix this?

I’m using Docbook 4.2, so I’ve set use.role.as.xrefstyle on and tried to use a “select: nnnn“ attribute to indicate precisely the cross-reference style I want. It didn’t work, so I thought I’d ask before delving any deeper.

Tim
