Re: DOCBOOK: xref text

[Norman Walsh <ndw at nwalsh dot com>]

/ Stéphane Bline <sbline@apsydev.com> was heard to say:
| To display the title of say a Chapter you would have to amend your source in
| the following way:
| 
| [...]
| <preface><title>préface</title>
| <para>
| See <link linkend="samba" endterm="samba.title"> 'Change here
| </para>
| </preface>
| <chapter id="samba"><title id="samba.title">SAMBA</title> 'Change here

This works, but isn't really necessary. It's a stylesheet issue :-)

| I changed the xref element into a link element just because it's the way I
| do it. I suspect it works the same for xref but I can't remember off the top
| of my head. Can anyone confirm this ?

Yes. But why do you use link instead of Xref?
