Problem with SDocBook links?
I'm new to this, so excuse blunders...
In a Simple DocBook file I've attempted to add a link to later in the same file, following the example given here: http://www.docbook.org/tdg/simple/en/html/link.html
The code in my file is:
<para>Let's experiment with a <link linkend="CF_section">SDocbook
Link</link> and see if it works.</para>
...snip...
<section id="CF_section">
<title>COMPACT FLASH DISK DRIVE</title>
Forrest reports this failure:
X [0] trm/sdocbook2.pdf BROKEN: org.apache.fop.apps.FOPException: internal-destination or external-destination must be specified in basic-link
The resulting HTML is:
<p>Let's experiment with a <a href="">SDocbook
Link</a> and see if it works.</p>
...snip...
<a name="N100B0"></a><a name="COMPACT+FLASH+DISK+DRIVE"></a>
<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td height="10" width="9"></td><td>
<h3>COMPACT FLASH DISK DRIVE</h3>
No pdf file is generated.
I'm using the Krysalis skin, if that makes a difference.
Now, following advice I will probably stop with SDocBook and move back to Forrest files, so I don't need a fix myself, but thought it might be useful to report this...
Regards - Charles

we now tried to use the full docbook which
provides the <anchor>. It doesn't work:
the files now validate but anchor still
is not transformed properly:
<anchor id="id000"/> becomes
<a href=""></a> (or noting at all)
<anchor id="id000">Test</anchor> becomes
<a name="Test"></a><a href=""></a>

Have you tried using the full docbook stylesheets as described at
http://forrest.apache.org/faq.html#docbook ? I think that that is much
more likely to fit your needs since forrest's sDocBook is so limited.

I believe this is related to the problem we have
(we used a workaround). #links don't work with sDokBook.
See:
http://issues.apache.org/eyebrowse/ReadMsg?listName=user@forrest.apache.org&msgNo=276
<anchor> is not a valid sDokBook tag and
putting id="anchor_name" into the <section>
does not produce the appropriate <a> entry.
The tag <ulink url="site:anchor_name"> gets
resolved properly. For "linkend" this seems
not to be the case ...
Who else is using sDocBook?
We need to and cannot move to forrest-doc.
