My first customization driver for htmlhelp.dsl worked: My app (Epic) calls
myhtmlhelp.dsl (appended below), which somehow references htmlhelp.dsl, and
includes my customizations to chunk-element-list.
However, when I add the following customization (which modifies dbl1en.dsl)
to the driver, jade tells me it can't resolve the §ion; variable:
(define (en-sectioning-xref-string gi-or-name)
(if %section-autolabel%
"&Section; %n"
;; "the §ion; called %t")) ;; original
"%t")) ;; modified
I must misunderstand something about the driver works - how come the first
customization works while the second doesn't? Here's my driver file:
<!DOCTYPE style-sheet PUBLIC "-//James Clark//DTD DSSSL Style Sheet//EN" [
<!ENTITY htmlhelp.dsl SYSTEM "htmlhelp.dsl" CDATA DSSSL>
]>
<!--
**************************************************************************
This is the driver file for CMBU customizations to the htmlhelp.dsl and
related modules.
It should be copied to the same directory where the user's htmlhelp.dsl
lives
(for example, C:\Program Files\Epic\epic\dsssl\axdocbook).

07-05-01 Created - denisb
Modify chunk-element-list to eliminate chunking at section
level - denisb
07-06-01 Modified common/dbl1en.dsl: fix autogen for xrefs to formal
figures, tables, etc.
Changes should go here, but variables like &chapter don't
resolve.
So leaving them in dbl1en.dsl where they work, for now.
