Wow, this is interesting information. I'd be curious about how you suppress an HTML tag with xsl. I know how to insert HTML code, but not to remove it.. Anyone have a simple example? (Fortunately, a need for that hasn't come up yet for me). (The only thing I could dig out of the archives

Robert, You hit on an interesting point. Hacking the DocBook stylesheets to not wrap the contents of a listitem would be, as far as I can tell, difficult, and require a lot of nasty hacking. Also, since it's a hack to overcome what I would call a bug in one output device, I wouldn't want to

[docbook-apps] translated indexes

2010-09-24 Thread Jean-Christophe Helary
I never tried that but I was wondering what was the best way to sort an index after translation of the file set ? Especially in the case of languages that do not use the same character set (for ex English vs Japanese) ? What would be the best way to establish an easy to translate index ?
