Subject: <xref>, <term>, <systemitem> and all that sort of things From: Christian Fabre <c.fabre@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 05 Nov 1998 15:44:46 +0100 |
Hi all, I have a problem with an <xref> from a <term>. It occurs on both the DB->HTML and DB->RTF style-sheets. Say I have the following SGML text: ... <variablelist> <varlistentry> <term id="foo"><systemitem>foo</systemitem></term> <listitem>...</listitem> </varlistentry> </variablelist> ... And in some other place a text like: <para><systemitem>bar</systemitem> is actually a <xref linkend="foo" endterm="foo">.</para> I would expect to have the "imported" word "foo" in the refering text to retain the typewriter font from <systemitem>. That is that the <xref> should not only copy the text to the destination, but also its formating. This is the case for instance if the <xref> refers to an id located within a <refentrytitle> tag: the expansion of <xref> retain the effect of <systemitem>. But it is not the case here when referring to a <term> tags: in my outputs, "foo" is only in italic (as for a xref to plain text) whereas bar is in typewriter italics (as usual with systemitem). Is there any special reason to drop the formating due to the original <systemiytem>? I'm wondering if it is a bug in the style-sheets or a feature. Thanks in advance, Christian. ===== Christian Fabre (TOG-RI was OSF-RI) The Open Group Research Institute Net: c.fabre@xxxxxxxxxxxxx 2 avenue de Vignate Tel: +33 4 76.63.48.90 38610 Gieres - France Fax: +33 4 76.51.05.32 DSSSList info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/dsssl/dssslist
