Re: [docbook] Question about qandaentry


Sorry, yes, that's what I mean. I was thinking of links because I'm thinking that the question is only defined in one place, but the FAQ TOC that automatically is generated would allow the link to the question to exist in more than one section.

Hi,
Could you please clarify what you mean by "linking" a
qandaentry into more than one qandadiv?  I think of
linking as a cross reference.  But I think you mean
you want to author the entry in one place and repeat
it entirely in another place.  Is that what you need?

Subject: [docbook] Question about qandaentry




Hi,
    I'm working on a FAQ that's divided up into multiple sections. Some
questions appear under more than one section. Is there a way to link a
qandaentry into more than one qandadiv? I've been looking through the
docbook reference and I see that some tags (links, in particular) can
take text from the element they point to, but qandaentry doesn't appear
to have this functionality. I would really like to link the questions
because it seems that if I have to duplicate a question/answer then it
raises the possibility that the answers could be out of sync with each
other. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Derek
