DOCBOOK-APPS: Re: DOCBOOK: links in RTF

[Norman Walsh <ndw at nwalsh dot com>]

/ Karl Critz <kcritz@mathworks.com> was heard to say:
| I convinced some rudimentary page references to work, but they don't resolve
| to anything.  It looks like the print stylesheets don't do anything with
| <anchor> elements:
| 
| (element anchor (empty-sosofo))
| 
| This would explain why every time I click on a link in my document I just
| get taken to the top:  the anchor isn't even there.
| 
| Does anyone know why Norm chose not to do anything with anchors?

As I recall, it isn't necessary to output anything more than empty-sosofo
for anchors in the print backends. Jade handles all the linking with
the (make link ...) element. (Anchors can't produce anything more than
empty-sosofo because they aren't intended to contribute content to the
page.)

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm
