Re: [docbook-apps] Unwanted target attribute in a href...

Hi Kathleen,

I think you will need to be a little more specific 
about the version of the stylesheets.  You mentioned "a few years 
ago".  Can you determine the version of the stylesheets you are 
using?  There is a VERSION file in the distribution directory.

Subject: [docbook-apps] Unwanted target 
  attribute in a href...

  

  

  
Hi all.  Long 
  time listener, first time caller...

  
 

  
I developed an online reference system for a programming 
  language which is in a pretty typical frameset: table of contents in a narrow 
  frame on the left side and the reference pages all in the large frame on the 
  right. It?s written to DocBook 4.3 DTD using Norm 
  Walsh?s style sheets from a few years ago.

  
 

  
The problem is that when I use the <link> tag to link 
  type names within the <funcsynopsis>, the 
  resulting HTML has an unwanted target attribute to ?_top? which of course 
  blows it out of the frame. Any thoughts on how to make it stop adding that 
  target attribute? 

  
 

  
(Sample code below)

  
 

  
Thanks!

  
Kathleen

  
 

  
THIS XML:

  
 

  
<refsynopsisdiv xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"><title></title>

  
        
  <funcsynopsis>

  
            
  <funcprototype>

  
                
  <funcdef>

  
                    
  <link xlink:href="scalarDataTypes.html">short</link>

  
                    
  <function>

  
                        
  upsample

  
                    
  </function>

  
                
  </funcdef>

  
                
  <paramdef><link 
  xlink:href="">char</link><parameter>hi</parameter></paramdef>

  
                
  <paramdef><link 
  xlink:href="">uchar</link><parameter>lo</parameter></paramdef>

  
            
  </funcprototype>

  
        
  </funcsynopsis>

  
</refsynopsisdiv>
