<para>The value of this parameter determines whether
the cross reference URIs to PDF documents made with
<tag>olink</tag> will 
include fragment identifiers.
</para>

<para>When forming a URI to link to a PDF document,
a fragment identifier (typically a '#' followed by an
id value) appended to the PDF filename can be used by
the PDF viewer to open
the PDF file to a location within the document instead of
the first page.
However, not all PDF files have id
values embedded in them, and not all PDF viewers can
handle fragment identifiers. 
</para>

<para>If <parameter>insert.olink.pdf.frag</parameter> is set
to a non-zero value, then any olink targeting a
PDF file will have the fragment identifier appended to the URI.
The URI is formed by concatenating the value of the
<parameter>olink.base.uri</parameter> parameter, the
value of the <tag class="attribute">baseuri</tag>
attribute from the <tag class="element">document</tag>
element in the olink database with the matching
<tag class="attribute">targetdoc</tag> value,
and the value of the <tag class="attribute">href</tag>
attribute for the targeted element in the olink database.
The <tag class="attribute">href</tag> attribute
contains the fragment identifier.
</para>

<para>If <parameter>insert.olink.pdf.frag</parameter> is set
to zero (the default value), then 
the <tag class="attribute">href</tag> attribute
from the olink database
is not appended to PDF olinks, so the fragment identifier is left off.
A PDF olink is any olink for which the
<tag class="attribute">baseuri</tag> attribute
from the matching <tag class="element">document</tag>
element in the olink database ends with '.pdf'.
Any other olinks will still have the fragment identifier added.
