<para>For any “notesource” listed in the auto-generated
|
||
“NOTES” section of output man pages (which is generated when
|
||
the value of the
|
||
<parameter>man.endnotes.list.enabled</parameter> parameter
|
||
is non-zero), if the notesource is a link source with a
|
||
relative URI, the URI is displayed in output with the value
|
||
of the
|
||
<parameter>man.base.url.for.relative.links</parameter>
|
||
parameter prepended to the value of the link URI.</para>

<note>
|

<para>A link source is an notesource that references an
|
||
external resource:
|
||
<itemizedlist>
|
||
<listitem>
|
||
<para>a <tag>ulink</tag> element with a <tag
|
||
class="attribute">url</tag> attribute</para>
|
||
</listitem>
|

<listitem>
|

<para>any element with an <tag

class="attribute">xlink:href</tag> attribute</para>

<listitem>

<tag>videodata</tag> element</para>

||
</listitem>
|

</itemizedlist>
|
||
</para>
|

</note>
|
||
|
||
<para>If you use relative URIs in link sources in your DocBook
|
||
<tag>refentry</tag> source, and you leave
|
||
<parameter>man.base.url.for.relative.links</parameter>
|
||
unset, the relative links will appear “as is” in the “Notes”
|
||
section of any man-page output generated from your source.
|
||
That’s probably not what you want, because such relative
|
||
links are only usable in the context of HTML output. So, to
|
||
make the links meaningful and usable in the context of
|
||
man-page output, set a value for
|
||
<parameter>man.base.url.for.relative.links</parameter> that
|
||
points to the online version of HTML output generated from
|
||
your DocBook <tag>refentry</tag> source. For
|
||
example:
|
||
<programlisting
|
||
><xsl:param name="man.base.url.for.relative.links"
|
||
>http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/</xsl:param></programlisting>
