DOCBOOK-APPS: [QUESTION] external links using website-2.4.0

["Daniel S. Haischt" <sirabyss at gmx dot net>]

hello,

if just downloaded the new website dtd and tried
to use external links (off-site) within layout.xml
(as i remember, XSLT processing failed if using
off-site links in previous versions of website).

the good thing is that all my oof-site links will
be recognized an processed. the bad thing is that
each URL of an off-site link gets lost in the actuall
HTML page and will be replaced by a single '/'.

that means http://foobar.com/ gets converted into /.

here is a sample of the contents of my layout.xml.

--------8<-------------8<-----------8<----------8<--------
<toc page="website.xml" filename="index.html">
  <title>Home</title>
  <tocentry id="sf" page="sf.xml" filename="sf.html">
    <title>SourceForge</title>
    <tocentry id="sfinfo" page="sfinfo.xml" filename="sfinfo.html">
      <title>Infos</title>
    </tocentry>
    <tocentry id="tracker"
href="http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=63355";>
      <title>Tracker</title>
    </tocentry>
  </tocentry>
</toc>
-------->8------------->8----------->8---------->8--------

i've just take a look at the layout.xml which comes with the website
examples but i am not getting what i am doing different.

any suggestions would be appreciated.

With best regards / Mit freundlichen Gruessen
