RE: [docbook-apps] DocBookXSL XHTML chunking does not produce hyperlinks in index page.

["Lee Gwun Wai" <gwunwai at pacific dot net dot sg>]

Hello again,

I did some testing, and downloaded Saxon 7.9.1, and used Saxon instead of
Xalan for the transformation, but still, I get a HTML index page with no
hyperlinks.

I traced the processing in the stylesheets, and found that it reaches
xhtml\autoidx.xsl, and this chunk of code:

...
<xsl:template match="indexterm" mode="index-primary">
  <xsl:param name="scope" select="."/>

  <xsl:variable name="key" select="normalize-space(concat(primary/@sortas,
primary[not(@sortas)]))"/>
  <xsl:variable name="refs" select="key('primary',
$key)[count(ancestor::node()|$scope) = count(ancestor::node())]"/>
  <dt>
    <xsl:value-of select="primary"/>
...

The code here clearly outputs the value of the primary tag, but without any
<a> tag, so I'm quite curious how it will be added in later. Perhaps by
html2xhtml.xsl? But I checked the same autoidx.xsl, but from the html
folder, and it's exactly the same, ie, no anchor tag introduced.

Perhaps somebody can enlighten me on this, because it doesn't make sense to
me, at least for now.

Thanks in advance,
Gwun Wai

Hello,

Thanks for the quick response, but no luck, it didn't work. I got the same
output, with the index terms on the index page, but no hyperlinks.

I also tried with the latest version of the DocBook XSL stylesheets, which I
believe is 1.65.1, but I got the same result.

I think I installed Xalan correctly, for this is my output when I do a

java  org.apache.xalan.xslt.EnvironmentCheck

Or is something else missing?

Yes, the index entries should link back to the HTML pages.  I suspect the
problem is the with (old) Xalan that is bundled with Java 1.4.  This
reference tells you how to use a newer Xalan:

Let me know if that doesn't help.
