Re: docbook: link [was: Bug 455400]

["Mark Dexter" <dextercowley gmail com>]

Thanks, Thomas. That was way too easy! I've been doing a lot of work on the documentation. I've added sections for entering text, aligning objects, moving lines. I've

also added a lot of screenshots and expanded the basic objects area. I'm currently reworking the selecting objects section, again with more screen shots.

 

I'm probably not going to finish this morning. Unfortunately, I'm going out of town for a few days, so it will be about a week before I can upload the diff file. I hope that's ok.

 

Thanks again. Mark Dexter

Links are done on "id" attributes, (hopefully) not matter what element
it is.

Simply give an id to the specifific element you want to link to,
eg <sect3 id="my-section">; then do the link as typed above.
