Re: [docbook-apps] Table numbering with docbook 1.74.3 on PDF and HTML report.

Hi,
The number labels are generated by applying templates to the table element in 
mode="label.markup".  The default template is in common/labels.xsl and works 
for table, figure, and example:

<xsl:template match="figure|table|example" mode="label.markup">
  <xsl:variable name="pchap"
                select="ancestor::chapter
                        |ancestor::appendix
                        |ancestor::article[ancestor::book]"/>

  <xsl:variable name="prefix">
    <xsl:if test="count($pchap) &gt; 0">
      <xsl:apply-templates select="$pchap" mode="label.markup"/>
    </xsl:if>
  </xsl:variable>

  <xsl:choose>
    <xsl:when test="@label">
      <xsl:value-of select="@label"/>
    </xsl:when>
    <xsl:otherwise>
      <xsl:choose>
        <xsl:when test="$prefix != ''">
            <xsl:apply-templates select="$pchap" mode="label.markup"/>
            <xsl:apply-templates select="$pchap" mode="intralabel.punctuation"/>
          <xsl:number format="1" from="chapter|appendix" level="any"/>
        </xsl:when>
        <xsl:otherwise>
          <xsl:number format="1" from="book|article" level="any"/>
        </xsl:otherwise>
      </xsl:choose>
    </xsl:otherwise>
  </xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>

You can copy this to your customization layer and change it to match="table" to 
only affect tables.  Then a couple more changes are needed.

The variable "pchap" is the ancestor element whose number label becomes the 
prefix for the table number. Change the variable pchap selection to 
"ancestor::section".  And then change the first xsl:number so the "from" 
attribute is "section" instead of "chapter|appendix", so that the table 
numbering restarts in each section. That should do it.

You might need to make further improvements to handle the case of a table 
contained in a chapter before the first section, though.

  Subject: [docbook-apps] Table numbering with docbook 1.74.3 on PDF and HTML 
report.


  Hi,

  I am using docbook version 1.74.3. 
  Currently I am getting table number on my HTML/PDF report as 
(ChapterNumber).1, (ChapterNumber).2, (ChapterNumber).3 ... and so on  

  For example: I have "Chapter 2" and under it I have section number 2.3.2. 
Following is how table numbers are listed curently on my HTML report (table 
2.1, table 2.3 and table 2.3). 

  Chapter 2
  2.3.2 Report Trees
  Table 2.1 Dec1Tree

        Data Type
       Length
       
        Numeric
       3
       

  Table 2.2 Dec2Tree

        Data Type
       Length
       
        Numeric
       3
       

  Table 2.3 Dec3Tree

        Data Type
       Length
       
        Numeric
       3
       




  I want the table numbers starting with the section number above it instead on 
starting with the Chapter number above it.
  For example: I want the Table number as (Table 2.3.2.1, Table 2.3.2.2 and 
Table 2.3.2.3) shown below.

  Chapter 2
  2.3.2 Report Trees
  Table 2.3.2.1 Dec1Tree

        Data Type
       Length
       
        Numeric
       3
       

  Table 2.3.2.2 Dec2Tree

        Data Type
       Length
       
        Numeric
       3
       

  Table 2.3.2.3 Dec3Tree

        Data Type
       Length
       
        Numeric
       3
       




  How can I achieve it?



  Thanks,

  BRAMANI.
