IIRC the xref implementation requires either title as the first-child of the endlink, or xreflabel on the endlink element. In phpdoc we usually use entity magic to "copy&paste" the same content again and again and again. > However, when I re-configure and rebuild what I actually get is a link to is > mysqli.overview, that is the top of the document, rather than the specific > paragraph I want. Hmh. mysqli.overview is the parent chunk of the paragraph right? So the link is correct, just missing the fragment? Could be a bug. I remember some issues with <link linkend="not.a.chunk"> not returning fragments.. could be similar problem now with xref.. -Hannes
