I just figured that after processing my docbook with daps (into html) I´m losing all my internal links. First I thought it might be a markup error on my side but it works fine with xmlto. Does daps not support the <link> tag?
many thanks in advance

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
what do you mean by "losing all my internal links"? Do you mean cross references?
If you mean cross references, this is done by the xref element. Use this notation:
<para>
The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog, see <xreflinkend="quickbrownfox"/>.
</para>
If that doesn't help, could you post a small snippet where you encountered such error?

Hi Tom!
Sorry for the confusing post. It seems my < link > tag got formatted away. Yes I mean cross-reference. Anyways the notation would be:
<linklinkend="idOfTarget">Link</link>
maybe I should mention that I created the docbook with xmlmind editor and in version 5. When I process my docbook5 with "xmlto" to html the cross-references are there and working (xmlto has other flaws which is why I prefer daps).
I remember having read in your quickstart guide that docbook5 won´t be fully supported until version 2, right?
If that´s the cause (and probably also for my webhelp-stylesheet problem in my previous post) I think I´ll just wait for the update.
best regards
Marina

Yes, currently we support only DocBook 4.x. DocBook v5 is planned for the 2.0 release.
Could you send us your document? If you don't want to expose your text, use the obfuscate.xsl stylesheet from our project. That stylesheet preserves the structure, but replaces each character with "X".
Call xsltproc like this: xsltproc --output test.xml obfuscate.xsl YOUR_XML_FILE
Attach or send us the output file test.xml.

Back with a new harddrive :-) I just wanted to send you my files when I realized that (after a new conversion) the link issue resolved itself. All the links are working now! :-) Don't know what I did right this time but it works! anyways thanks for support as always!!

that's pity about the problems with your harddrive. Nice to hear it's solved now. In case you still have problems, just contact us via the discussion forum.
We will probably update our User Guide soon, so there might be new things to discover. :-)
Feel free to send us your questions, concerns, praise, or problems.
