Summary

Internal crossreferences in the FreeBSD handbook using crossref: are currently broken on PDF output. The official docs [0] say to xref with <<here-is-the-xref,it will optionally look like this>>. Most xrefs are already written in that notation, they are clean and work great. Update the rest of the remaining xrefs in this chapter to this notation.

This breaks the HTML links.
This link points to http://localhost:1313/en/books/handbook/disks/#kernelconfig and that anchor does not exist. The chapter is wrong, isn't it?

That's very interesting. Testing again it works in single html, but not split html.

I don't see [[kernelconfig]] in disks/_index.adoc, but I do see it in kernelconfig/_index.adoc?

Link related is broken here (pg. 423): https://download.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/handbook_en.pdf

But currently works here: https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/disks/

I'm not sure how to proceed forward. Thank you for checking this out.

Yes, we have a nice cross links mix here.

So we can create cross referenced links with:

  • <<foo, description>> which is the asciidoc native macro. This works in HTML single page and PDF but fails in HTML splitted pages.
  • crossref which is a custom macro we use to try to do different things depending on the context. Works in any HTML setup, but fails in PDF
  • extref is another custom macro that I don't really know what does differently than the previous one.
concussious.bugzilla_runbox.com marked an inline comment as not done.

Fernape has fixed the internal macro in D46480, so I'm going to close this.
