[xep-support] links to external pdf document

[Bob Stayton]

I'll bet your problem is that the id values are not getting into the PDF
file.  XEP doesn't put internally unreferenced id values into the PDF by
default.  See this message for the option to fix it:

>    <fo:block id="person.{generate-id(.)}">
>         <fo:basic-link
> external-destination="url('file:Main.pdf#mention-{generate-id(.)}')">

> My fo in the two resulting fo documents looks like this:

> Main.fo
