- Subject: DOCBOOK: ambiguity in <xref> regarding cross-reference text
again, nitpicky, but in the online TDG 2.0.7, in the explanation
of <xref>, we read:
"... If the Endterm attribute is specified, the content of the
element pointed by by Endterm must be used as the text of the
cross-reference ... If the object pointed to has a specified
XRefLabel, that should be used as the cross-reference text."
and if both happen to be true? it's not clear from the <xref>
page which takes precedence.
