<para>When olinks between documents are resolved, the generated text
may not make it clear that the reference is to another document.
It is possible for the stylesheets to append the other document's
title to external olinks. For this to happen, two parameters must
be set.</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>This <parameter>olink.doctitle</parameter> parameter
should be set to either <literal>yes</literal> or <literal>maybe</literal>
to enable this feature.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>And you should also set the <parameter>current.docid</parameter>
parameter to the document id for the  document currently
being processed for output.
</para>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>

<para>
Then if an olink's  <literal>targetdoc</literal> id differs from
the <literal>current.docid</literal> value, the stylesheet knows
that it is a reference to another document and can
append the target document's
title to the generated olink text. </para> 

<para>The text for the target document's title is copied from the
olink database from the <tag>ttl</tag> element
of the top-level <tag>div</tag> for that document.
If that <tag>ttl</tag> element is missing or empty,
no title is output.
</para>

<para>The supported values for <parameter>olink.doctitle</parameter> are:
</para>
<variablelist>
<varlistentry>
<term><literal>yes</literal></term>
<listitem>
<para>
Always insert the title to the target document if it is not
the current document.
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><literal>no</literal></term>
<listitem>
<para>
Never insert the title to the target document, even if requested
in an <tag class="attribute">xrefstyle</tag> attribute.
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><literal>maybe</literal></term>
<listitem>
<para>
Only insert the title to the target document, if requested
in an <tag class="attribute">xrefstyle</tag> attribute.
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
</variablelist>
<para>An <tag class="attribute">xrefstyle</tag> attribute
may override the global setting for individual olinks.
The following values are supported in an
<tag class="attribute">xrefstyle</tag>
attribute using the <literal>select:</literal> syntax:
</para>

<variablelist>
<varlistentry>
<term><literal>docname</literal></term>
<listitem>
<para>
Insert the target document name for this olink using the
<literal>docname</literal> gentext template, but only
if the value of <parameter>olink.doctitle</parameter>
is not <literal>no</literal>.
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><literal>docnamelong</literal></term>
<listitem>
<para>
Insert the target document name for this olink using the
<literal>docnamelong</literal> gentext template, but only
if the value of <parameter>olink.doctitle</parameter>
is not <literal>no</literal>.
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><literal>nodocname</literal></term>
<listitem>
<para>
Omit the target document name even if
the value of <parameter>olink.doctitle</parameter>
is <literal>yes</literal>.
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
</variablelist>
<para>Another way of inserting the target document name 
for a single olink is to employ an
<tag class="attribute">xrefstyle</tag>
attribute using the <literal>template:</literal> syntax.
The <literal>%o</literal> placeholder (the letter o, not zero)
in such a template
will be filled in with the target document's title when it is processed.
This will occur regardless of 
the value of <parameter>olink.doctitle</parameter>.
</para>
<para>Note that prior to version 1.66 of the XSL stylesheets,
the allowed values for this parameter were 0 and 1.  Those
values are still supported and mapped to 'no' and 'yes', respectively.
