The perceived problem I've tried to solve is that we don't necessarily want to display all the ulinks in a printed format (in footnotes or parenthesis) that we want to use in an online format. I really don't believe that there is any good way to do this automatically, and I think the best solution is to add a role to for trivial online-only sorts of links. A good example is this : You will need to get kern.flp and mfsroot.flp from the floppies directory. This turns out great for the HTML version of the Handbook, but these three links are highly redundant for a printed book. Ideally, only the last ulink will show up (as a footnote) in the PostScript version. Does anyone object to me sprinkling in some role="online" attributes to our links, and adding the relevant stylesheet support? Is there a better way to do this (quickly)? - Murray To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
