[generguide-devel] External References in Modular Documentation

[Sean W. <se...@ya...>]

Hi,

Each document in the generguide repository is an
independent document. We can validate it and transform
it.

However, if a xref is inserted to a document. That
document by default required that an element with an
id corresponding to the linkend of  the xref is
available in the document. If it is not, then the
document in invalid.

How do we propose to handle this in generguide?

I would use olink, but I think that olink is way to
complicated for our users. Artur explained that there
was no specific reason why olink had never been used
in generguide documents. It was just a case of there
had never been a requirement.

Now, while building the GenerGuide User Manual I have
such a requirement, but don't want to induce practices
that will be a problem for others to manage.

Direction appreciated.

Sean Wheller
