FO output: xrefs to <para/> always include page number

[Alexey Neyman <stilor@att.net>]

Hi all,

 

Why is a cross reference to a <para> element always inserting a page number in a FO output? The stylesheets ignore the settings of $insert.link.page.number and $insert.xref.page.number parameters if the link target is a <para> element. This also applies to <olink> links if the link target is determined to be in the current document.

 

There seems no easy way to turn off this behavior short of customizing the whole match="link"/match="xref"/name="xref.page.citation" templates.

 

It seems somewhat counterintuitive that <para> element ignores the settings of $insert.*.page.number parameters. But, if it is required to preserve backward compatible behavior - is it at least possible to at least make it configurable, e.g. something along the lines of the attached patch?

 

PS. The patch does not update fo/param.xml: I cannot describe why the new parameters are needed until I know the reason for the current behavior.

 

Regards,

Alexey.
