Re: XSLT for XSL-FO internal-destination

>  <a href="c:/Help_Files/File_Two.htm">. 

not that it matters to xslt but that URI is in error.. If browsers
conformed to the spec that would be a URI using an unknown URI
protocol. "c". should just be href="File_Two.htm" or if you need
absolute uri href="file:///c:/Help_Files/File_Two.htm"

You haven't said if you are using xslt 1 or 2, string manipulation is
easier in 2 but you perhaps dont need any string manipulation.

not sure why the title being empty affects the use of generate-id().
You could use generate-id() on the document node or the empty title
element, but actually I'd advise against using genereted-id for link
anchors, it makes for very unstable documents, if yu regenerate them
after any sort of edit, or potentially even after no edits, all the
anchors change.

It depends a bit how general you want to be but your example would be
a valid reference if you just wused translate(@href,':/','')
which would make an id of cHelp_FilesFile_Two.htm which you could use in
an fo:simple-link and in an id at the first fo:block that you generate
from a document.
