I made an <xref> element with an "idref" attribute in my DTD. Then some
block elements have "id" attributes. I thought this would be handy when I
do cross-references, like in:
<p>Read more about Iraq on page <xref idref="iraq"/>.</p>
I'm trying to implement an <xref> template in XSL-FO now, but with no luck
so far. I don't know how to extract the page number on the other page.
Where you process your <p id="iraq"> use:
<block id="{generate-id(.)}"> .....
Where you process your <xref idref="iraq"/> use:
<page-number-citation ref-id="{generate-id(id(@idref))}"/>
Although you could use naked ID/IDREF values in the XSL-FO instance, I
counsel my students to get into the habit of converting all IDs to internal
generated identifiers so that when they start mixing information from
multiple input documents they will not have any ID name value collisions in
the resulting XSL-FO instance.
I hope this helps.
