index.xml Index file I am going to make a link to an External Page I am going to add a new element to this page called "extlink" that will contain items for the anchor and the link text. This will generalize the linkage for the simple links used already. A link to an HTML page created with Open Office 2 on this system in the same directory as this XML file follows this paragraph. I will add the rule to turn it into an HTML anchored link in the entry.xsl file. 051102.html Link to html page for today. I added the rules for the "toplink" empty element and the new "extlink" with the anchored part "mylink" and the text for it, called "linktext" to the dtd file. I wonder what happens with an empty paragraph body? The DTD for this XML is alittle loose I did two tests of degeneracy. I made a completely empty para, well-formed XML alright, but no text in subtitle or paragraph body. The evidence for that is the lone bullet in the TOC. That signifies an empty paragraph, "para" element. The item above has an empty "para/body" element, but since it has a subtitle, that appears in the TOC.. And now a link to another XML page in the current direcory As a final test, the following is a external link to another XML page in this directory. When I learn Xlink, I will be able to make bidirectional links to/from the other XML file. 051030.xml Link another XML page, here..
