Hi Karl,
Sorry if this is way off target, but I have just found a solution for a
similar problem that may help you.
This is in XSL:FO, and may not be of any use to you, but you may be able
to adapt it.
Basically I have a tag that searches for a glossary entry. When it finds
it, it creates a link to the glossary entry. If there is no entry, it
creates a broken link and spews forth some red text so I can find it
easily.
<xsl:template match="glossarytt">
<xsl:variable name="items" select="key('glossaryitems-by-name',
@name)"/>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="$items">
<xsl:for-each select="$items">
<xsl:variable name="href" select="@name"/>
<fo:inline text-decoration="underline"
color="green"
font-weight="bold">
<fo:basic-link
internal-destination="{$href}">
<xsl:value-of select="term"/>
</fo:basic-link>
</fo:inline>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise><fo:basic-link
internal-destination="BrokenGlossaryTT">
<fo:inline color="red">Broken glossarytt:
<xsl:value-of
select="@name"/></fo:inline></fo:basic-link>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
I don't know if this will quite cover what you want, but it certainly
works for me!
(Thanks to J.Pietschmann)
