Обсуждение: Blocks within a
Hi,
I am working on the PL/pgSQL docs right now and I need a way to
further subdivide blocks within a <sect2> in DocBook.
For example, I have a "Variables and Constants" <sect2> and I want to
have blocks for "Declaring Variables", "Declaring Constants" and
"Assigning Values to Variables". Each with its own header that stands out
as a block. How do I do that in DocBook?
Another thing is how do I declare tha HTML equivalent of a
"<A NAME='blah'>" so I can <link linkend="blah">FooBar</link> somewhere
else?
Thanks,
-Roberto

Use 'id' attributes. E.g., | <sect2 id="foo"> | <title>About Foos</title> | | <para> | ... | </para> | ... | </sect2> Elsewhere: | For more information about Foos, refer to <xref linkend="foo">. Note that the <xref> inserts the fitting text, like "Section 1.2.3". In general, <link> should only be used in limited circumstances, as it won't come out right in print. As for id attribute naming, use some hierarchical scheme. E.g., if the chapter is "PL/pgSQL", the sect1 is "Description", the sect2 is "Variables and Constants", and sect3 is "Constants", use something like <sect3 id="plpgsql-description-var-const"> The HTML files and anchors will be named like the id's. (Try 'ls *.html'.) Note that in theory you could <xref> to any element that has an id, but the stylesheets we use only implement xrefs to a subset that contains things like chapters, sect's, examples, tables, and similar named block elements. Actually, the existing PL/pgSQL documentation source should be a good example of these concepts. Btw., have you read the book at docbook.org? -- Peter Eisentraut peter_e@gmx.net http://yi.org/peter-e/
Here's what I am trying to do with links. I want to link the items in
the itemized list with its respecitev counterparts in the
<variablelist> below. Suggestions?

<acronym>SQL</acronym> is the language PosgreSQL
(and most other Relational Databases) use as query
language. It's portable and easy to learn. But every
<acronym>SQL</acronym> statement must be executed
individually by the database server.

Hi All, Is there some way of automatically submitting "Tips" as are now appearing on the end of our emails? Regards and best wishes, Justin Clift
You probably want to make the <variablelist> entries into separate <sect3>'s and leave the itemizedlist as you show it, possibly with some links (xref's) to the respective section.
