  • 1.  Styling xref in HTML output

    Posted 02-13-2007 23:12
    Hi,

    Among other things, I use xref to link to certain special functions and
    classes that are documented in our manual pages. These particular anchors
    should be styled differently via the CSS sheet. But I can't seem to figure
    out how to get generate a class att. in the HTML output. What I'd like to
    do is something like:

    <xref linkend="ref.foo" role="spec_func" xrefstyle="select: title"/>

    yielding

    foo()

    which would enable me to emphasize the special role of these programming
    elements in our documentation.

    BTW: also when you do something like

    <filename class="directory">/usr/local/bin</filename>, I'd expect an HTML
    output like such as

    /usr/local/bin to appear. This is
    apparently not the case when I examine the HTML output. At least, that is
    what I deduce when looking at

    http://www.docbook.org/tdg/en/html/filename.html

    In help is greatly appreciated.

    Best, Mads

    Hi, have decided to wrap everything inside an

    <emphasis role="spec_func">...</emp..>

    construction. That at least solves the problem for now. But, if a smarter
    solution exists, please let me know.

    Best,

    Mads
