Hello,

I tried to add links in some help pages I made and I found this rather
difficults.
- you need to fill the xml:id at the top of the help page (here,
sp_basis_abs)

<refentry version="5.0-subset Scilab" xml:id="sp_basis_abs" xml:lang="en"
          xmlns="http://docbook.org/ns/docbook"
          xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"
          xmlns:svg="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"
          xmlns:ns5="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
          xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"
          xmlns:db="http://docbook.org/ns/docbook">

- and now, in a special refsection, I can add my links:

  <refsection>
    <title>See Also</title>

    <simplelist type="inline">
      <member><link linkend="sp_def">sp_def</link></member>
      <member><link linkend="sp_basis_abs3">sp_basis_abs3</link></member>
      <member><link linkend="sp_basis_hat">sp_basis_hat</link></member>
      <member><link linkend="sp_fit">sp_fit</link></member>
      <member><link linkend="spline1d_e">%spline1d</link></member>
    </simplelist>
  </refsection>

And the links work.

But if I use XXE to verify the validity of the xml file, it complains about
missing xml:id. So, to be correct, I must have

  <refsection>
    <title>See Also</title>

    <simplelist type="inline">
      <member><link linkend="sp_def" xml:id="sp_def">sp_def</link></member>
      <member><link linkend="sp_basis_abs3"
xml:id="sp_basis_abs3">sp_basis_abs3</link></member>
      <member><link linkend="sp_basis_hat"
xml:id="sp_basis_hat">sp_basis_hat</link></member>
      <member><link linkend="sp_fit" xml:id="sp_fit">sp_fit</link></member>
      <member><link linkend="spline1d_e"
xml:id="spline1d_e">%spline1d</link></member>
    </simplelist>
  </refsection>

But, now, the links doesn't work anymore ...

Did I do something wrong ??
