emitting link URLs in a2x -f manpage

[Suraj N. Kurapati]

Hello,

I want `a2x -f manpage` to emit link URLs (in addition to emitting
link text, as it currently does). The emitting of link URLs seems
to have been disabled by default as of Version 7.0.3 (2005-12-01):

"Modified ./doc/manpages.xsl so only URL content is displayed in
manpages."
http://www.methods.co.nz/asciidoc/CHANGELOG.html#_version_7_0_3_2005_12_01

How can I re-enable the emitting of link URLs with the modern a2x?
Do I create a new *.xsl file and pass `-a stylesheet=my_manpage.xsl`
to a2x? If so, will my XSL file conflict with the default one?

Thanks for your consideration.

I am not using a2x, but asciidoc and xsltproc. The attached manpage.xsl
imports the default docbook processing for man pages and then also adds
a "External References" section at the end containing all the links.
This has the style of footnotes, so it does not disturb reading.

HTH,
Rainer

Thank you! I was able to use your stylesheet successfully:

asciidoc -o man.xml -d manpage -b docbook man.txt
mkdir -p man/man1
xsltproc -o man/man1/inochi.1 manpage.xsl man.xml

Cheers.
