Re: [docbook-apps] email Element PDF Transformation Problems

I think this is a problem with Acrobat, not the 
stylesheet.  The fo stylesheet does not write an active mailto link. If you 
look in your fo output, you can confirm that there is no external link with a 
url.  

 

You are seeing a feature in Acrobat from 
the Preferences->General screen for "Automatically detect URLs from 
text".  Apparently it doesn't work very well.

Hi!

  
 

  
Uhm, I just noticed that I do have this problem, too. 
  So I can confirm this issue for docbook-xls-1.69., docbook-xml-4.4, saxon 
  6.5.5, xep 4.6 as well as xep 4.5. 

  
 

  
My structure is

  
 <bookinfo>
[..]
  <author>
   <firstname>Foo</firstname><surname>Bar</surname>
   <email></email>
  </author>

  
[..]

  
</bookinfo>

  
 

  
Greetings

  
Jeannine

docbook-rng-5.0b5 
    docbook-xsl-snapshot (current) saxon-6.5.5 xep-4.6 (current) oxygen-7.1.0 
    (eclipse-3.1.2 plugin)

    
 

    
The following 
    informaltable 
    fragment:

    
 

    
…

    
…

    
   
    <row>

    
   
       <entry>

    
   
          <personname>Foo 
    Bar</personname>

    
   
       </entry>

    
   
       <entry>

    
   
          <email></email>

    
  
        </entry>

    
  
        <entry>

    
   
          <phrase 
    role="invited">invited</phrase>

    
   
       </entry>

    
   
      <entry/>

    
   
    </row>

    
…

    
…

    
 

    
when transformed to pdf produces 
    the following mailto link:

    
 

    


    
 

    
dropping the Foo. 
    prefix

    
 

    
This does not occur with html 
    transformations.

    
 

    
Is this a docbook or xep 
    issue?
