Re: DOCBOOK: links in RTF

["Karl Critz" <kcritz at mathworks dot com>]

Here is my hack at code which is supposed to produce the "text link" I
described in my previous message.  Unfortunately, when I insert it into
dblink.dsl, I get lots of JADE errors.  It looks like I have a misplaced
parenthesis somewhere, but I can't figure out where.

--------------------------------
(element link
  ;; No warnings about missing targets.  Jade will do that for us, and
  ;; this way we can use -wno-idref if we really don't care.
  (let* ((endterm   (attribute-string (normalize "endterm")))
  (linkend   (attribute-string (normalize "linkend")))
  (target    (element-with-id linkend))
  (etarget   (if endterm
   (element-with-id endterm)
   (empty-node-list)))
  (link-cont (if endterm
   (if (node-list-empty? etarget)
       (literal
        (string-append "LINK CONTENT ENDTERM '"
         endterm
         "' MISSING"))
       (with-mode xref-endterm-mode
         (process-node-list etarget)))
   (process-children))))
    (if (node-list-empty? target)
 (make sequence
   link-cont
          ($ss-seq$ -
          (make sequence
          " ['
   (make link
     destination: (node-list-address target)
     (element-page-number-sosofo target))
           "]"))))))

Oy gewalt.  Anyone have any idea how I could clean this up?
