Thanks for the input; I've followed your suggestion "set show-link-page=no; remove linktext" and got as far as this:
* Chapter 3, Section 3.2. Primary protected application (PPA) Better, but to my mind it introduces a new problem: the 3 in the two references is the same! the text appears to point the reader to 3.3.2 - section 3.2 in chapter 3 - while in fact we're trying to send the reader to 3.2. In other words, including "Chapter n" in the generated output is misleading. (to add to the fun, you'll see from the attached screenshot that the document does not even have a 3.3.2 ...) I think I'd be happier if the generated output were simply (and unambiguously) * 3.2. Primary protected application (PPA) This has the merit of matching what the reader sees on the page :-} Of course, I have no idea how to implement/tweak to get this result ...

That is, there is currently no way to get: * for a more detailed description of U-Boot SPL and Spica, see TITLE_OF_REFERENCED_TOPIC --> You seem to have passed XSLT stylesheet parameter show-link-page=yes to the DITA processor. Hence: * for a more detailed description of U-Boot SPL and Spica, see on page 81 --> If you pass it show-link-page=no, which is the default value of show-link-page, you'll get: * for a more detailed description of U-Boot SPL and Spica, see with the above text, no less, no more, being an hyperlink to the referenced topic. --> If you pass it show-link-page=no AND SUPPRESS <linktext>, you'll get: * TITLE_OF_REFERENCED_TOPIC_AS_AN_HYPERLINK Reference: http://www.xmlmind.com/ditac/_distrib/doc/manual/xsltParams.html#xsltParams__show-link-page ********************************************************************************************* Worldline SA/NV - Chaussee de Haecht 1442 Haachtsesteenweg - 1130 Brussels - Belgium RPM-RPR Bruxelles-Brussel - TVA-BTW BE 0418.547.872 Bankrekening-Compte Bancaire-Bank Account 310-0269424-44 BIC BBRUBEBB - IBAN BE55 3100 2694 2444 "The information contained in this e-mail and any attachment there to be confidential and may contain information which is protected by intellectual property rights.
