Hi Dave,
Since you mention ns stripping, I presume you are processing a DB5
document with the non-namespaced stylesheets. If so, then I can tell
you that in the stripping process the d:book/d:info element is
transformed into an info element, at least in the 1.74.0 stylesheets
(see common/stripns.xsl). The stylesheets do handle info, even though
it is not a DB4 element, simply as a convenience in this manner:
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="bookinfo/title">
<xsl:apply-templates mode="book.titlepage.recto.auto.mode"
select="bookinfo/title"/>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="info/title">
<xsl:apply-templates mode="book.titlepage.recto.auto.mode"
select="info/title"/>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="title">
<xsl:apply-templates mode="book.titlepage.recto.auto.mode"
select="title"/>
</xsl:when>
</xsl:choose>
This construction enables the base stylesheets to be easily transformed
into the namespaced stylesheets by a mechanical process.
OK. That leaves me asking 'when' it happens?
I.e. should my customization be using d:info or just info as the match
element.
I think what you are seeing is that the template that matches on book
does not do a general apply-templates on the info element.
Drat! You guessed! I had to match on book with high priority to get that :-)
Instead, the
titlepage.templates.xsl stylesheet module selectively applies templates
to some of the children of info, based on the specs in the
titlepage.templates.xml spec file.
Which is the route I resorted to eventually!
(Except I don't like the revhistory presentation in pdf?
I wanted border='thin black solid' to make it look like a table with
the various component parts - but that is nit picking)
So a template with
match="/book/info" would never be reached, unless you customized the
match="book" template to apply it. If the titlepage spec file includes
revhistory for book, then match="/book/info/revhistory" will be
applied. By default, revhistory is not specified for book in the
titlepage spec file.
That's what I was missing, hence my customization efforts!

OK. Thanks Bob. I'll 'go figure'
I've never tried customizing titlepage.xsl!
