Please try rendering this book as PDF (my wiki is using the public
render server for now): http://betawiki.openmpt.org/OpenMPT_Wiki:Books/Manual
You'll easily see that all internal links will turn up as external
links, but they are practically indistinguishable from the text. For
example, go to page 22 of the rendered book and check out the bullet
list - the first word after each bullet should be an internal link to
another page of the PDF.
Is there something wrong with my Collection configuration or is it a
bug in mwlib?

I tried the above collection and couldn't find the problematic link.

Could you please create a collection containing *two* articles where one
of the articles is linked to from the other.
Please also indicate clearly where the "missing link" is located.

Regards,
Volker

Hello Volker,

it seems like the problem seems to appear especialy with bigger
collections. I created a small collection with only two pages, and the
links worked, but they were not visually distinguishable from the rest
of the text.
I have created a test collection here:
http://betawiki.openmpt.org/User:Saga_Musix/Books/Test

Please find the text "General - Path setup and miscellaneous options"
in the generated PDF. The first word ("General") links links to the
next page, but it's in the same colour as the rest of the text, so
it's really hard to find the link.

You can find the same text passage in the whole book that I linked in
my previous post. But when clicking the word "General" in that
version, the link opens in my web browser.

So judging from the edit on the wiki, the page aliases in the book
index are the problem? Is there a quick way to fíx this?
