Formatting the linking url as a footnote

[opeongo]

I am using Oxygen/Docbook to generate PDF and WebHelp Classic outputs. Some of my pages link to external URL's using the <link> element. This works great for the WebHelp output, but the PDF output formats the link with the url being printed inline along beside the link text. This form of output makes the text almost incomprehensible when there are more than a couple of links. For example, here is a section of my output document showing a couple of links (bleh):

Is there a way to have these href attributes formatted as a footnote instead, so that they would be collected at the bottom of the page and not inline with the text?

Or can you suggest a methodology to use a different type of tag to get the behaviour that I want? Such as a <link> for the "html" role, and a <footnote> for the "fo" role?

Thanks,

Tom

My apologies. This is supported as the parameter using the parameter ulink.footnotes=1. I just had to figure out the docs.
