Links

These features are not bridge-related, but I've included these examples just for completeness. Note that the links don't know whether they are opened in the same frame, the top frame of the current window, or a new window. This decision is made in the XSL, based in whether the link is internal, part of my site, or external.

Internal Link

Input:

<link rel="internal" href="intro">This link</link>
should take you to the introduction of this book.

XSL Output:

This link should take you to the introduction of this book.

The "internal" link basically means that the link is a reference to another page in this same collection. When generating PDF, this is converted to an internal link in the document. In HTML, it loads the page in the current frame (when in a framed document.)

On-Site Links

Input:

This is a gross hack to indicate pages on my site, such as the
<link rel="onsite" href="/deal/">Deal 3.0 page.</link>

XSL Output:

This is a gross hack to indicate pages on my site, such as the Deal 3.0 page.

This just lets me move my site more easily - a bit of a hack. When generating PDF, the site location gets hard-coded. In HTML, causes the document to be loaded in the top frame.

External Link

Input:

Many of the formatting decisions I've made are based on the
recommendations in Richard Pavlicek's
<link href="http://www.rpbridge.net/7z69.htm">Bridge
Writing Style Guide.</link>

XSL Output:

Many of the formatting decisions I've made are based on the recommendations in Richard Pavlicek's Bridge Writing Style Guide.

A general link. In HTML, causes the referenced document to be loaded in the top frame.
