Hello,
I have spent several hourse on the problem I posted before and have
found out that:
I am not getting chapter, section, figure numbers because the test
for @label will be true even if I have no label attribute in the tag.
Example:
a) the xml fragment:
<figure><title>My Sample Figure</title>
<graphic fileref="sample.jpg"/>
</figure>
b) the matching template that will generate the label (fragment)
I have modified this to tell me whether a @label was found which
will override the automatically generated id.
Running it against above xml file (saxon 6.4.2, docbook xml 4.1.2)
will output 'Label found:'
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="@label">
<xsl:message>
Label found:
<xsl:value-of select="@label"/></xsl:message>
<xsl:value-of select="@label"/>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<!-- Generate the label automatically -->
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
c) working template:
When I modify the line that tests for @label to read
<xsl:when test="@label and not(string-length(@label)=0)">
everything works fine.
The same problem occurs in several other cases (e.g. an existing but
empty @scale in graphic will render as an image with a width of "%" in
HTML :-(
I understand that the modification of the templates is merely a way to
pinpoint my problem, not the solution. I have however no idea what the
solution might look like.
If anyone else has this problem and a solution along with it, please
drop me a line.
Cheers,
Ben
