Re: [docbook-apps] Suppressing hyperlinks in PDF

Hi Warren,
I presume you are talking about ulinks here.  If so, you are looking for the
template with match="ulink" in fo/xref.xsl.  Copy that template to your
customization layer and trim it down to just the following:

    <xsl:choose>
      <xsl:when test="count(child::node())=0">
        <xsl:call-template name="hyphenate-url">
          <xsl:with-param name="url" select="@url"/>
        </xsl:call-template>
      </xsl:when>
      <xsl:otherwise>
        <xsl:apply-templates/>
      </xsl:otherwise>
    </xsl:choose>

That removes the <fo:basic-link> wrapper so no link will be formed and just
the ulink text (or URL if it is empty) will appear.  It also removes the URL
reference that follows in square brackets.  That reference can also be
turned off by setting the $ulink.show parameter to zero.
