Hi,
Here's a couple of minor tweaks and fixes for the XSLT in the DocBook XSL:
Complete Guide (4th ed). I don't know if these issues are already "well
known"---apologies if they are.
[Perhaps this isn't the correct forum for what is, in effect, errata; but, the
Sagehill people are certainly active here and the fixes may be of general
interest.]
First, the return-to-top sample customisation, available from:
http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/ReturnToTop.html
doesn't quite work. Specifically, the link is obtained using the
chunk-filename template. This generates a filename that includes the dir
dbhtml PI value. Since the link is a relative URI, this is wrong: the
resulting link will have the dbhtml dir PI specified twice.
Simply replacing the call to chuck-filename with a call to the
recursive-chunk-filename template works for me, although I'm not sufficient
au fait with chunking to say if this is always safe.
The second is a stylistic (and perhaps trivial) addition to the support for
bread crumbs, available here:
http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/HTMLHeaders.html#BreadCrumbs
The following includes a test that disables the output for the top-most
element, and so top-most chunk. Personally, I find the single bread crumb to
be something of a distraction since (at this level) it isn't a link.
<xsl:template name="user.header.content">
<xsl:if test="boolean(../..)">
<xsl:call-template name="breadcrumbs"/>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
Other people might perfer to include it, though (e.g., for UI consistency), so
perhaps there should be an option to control this behaviour.
HTH,
Paul.
