Ah, I forgot this possibility! Hm, I can't think of any reason, why not to use <type>integer</type>. In /language/types.xml it is used this way and correctly renderd by the dsl-sheets (html-common.dsl)line 160: ;; Linking types to the correct place ... One difference: <type>integer</type>: the resulting link is bold, while <link linkend="language.types.integer">integer</link> is "normal". Is this the reason not to use the short notation? :-( BTW.: whats the reason for rendering <type>integer</type> bold? According to tdg <type> is allowed in <entry>, <term> .... http://www.docbook.org/tdg/en/html/type-x.html > Maybe because > <type> tags are also used in prototypes on function pages[?], I don't > know. As I understand the dsl-sheets the only difference is, these types are not linked. Friedhelm
