external-link not getting created in pdf.

[Noel Golding <no...@spearreport.com>]

I am having some trouble creating a hyperlink in my pdf document. The
snippets below show the code I am trying to use, however the link does not
get created and I do not get any warning messages when trying to create the
pdf.  I am sure I am doing something wrong.  Thanks for helping an ignorant
guy.

--XML snip--
<hyperlink url="http://www.spearreport.com/chat">
    http://www.spearreport.com/chat
</hyperlink>

-- XSLT --
<xsl:template match="hyperlink">
 <xsl:param name="url"><xsl:value-of select="@url"/></xsl:param>
 <fo:basic-link external-destination="url('{$url}')">
  <xsl:apply-templates/>
 </fo:basic-link>
</xsl:template>

Thanks
Noel

I think you must not use the url() wrapper:
   <fo:basic-link external-destination="{$url}">
