Hi Bob,
Thank you very much for your help!
I managed to get it work for FO output with the customization below.
However, this is not propagated to HTML, and when trying to customize the
<xsl:template match="step"> template from html/lists.xsl, the stylesheet alwaya
added a line-break after the gentext part. But it was the FO part that was more
important, and that's working.
Thanks again!
Regards,
Robert
<xsl:template match="step" mode="number">
<xsl:param name="rest" select="''"/>
<xsl:param name="recursive" select="1"/>
<xsl:variable name="format">
<xsl:call-template name="procedure.step.numeration"/>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:variable name="num">
<xsl:number count="step" format="{$format}"/>
</xsl:variable>
<!-- Inserted gentext call, probably not quite right -->
<xsl:call-template name="gentext">
<xsl:with-param name="key" select="'Step'"/>
</xsl:call-template>
<!-- Needed to have a space between Step and the number, not recognized
in gentext for some reason -->
<xsl:text> </xsl:text>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="$recursive != 0 and ancestor::step">
<xsl:apply-templates select="ancestor::step[1]" mode="number">
<xsl:with-param name="rest" select="concat('.', $num, $rest)"/>
</xsl:apply-templates>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:value-of select="concat($num, $rest)"/>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>

Hi Robert,
No, you are not missing something obvious, it is harder than it should
be. Although there is a gentext entry for step in context="title", it
is not used by the stylesheets. Instead, the step number is generated
using its own template in common/common.xsl that starts with:
<xsl:template match="step" mode="number">
You could add your own call to the gentext templates there.
However, it also turns out that the indent for procedure steps is hard
coded in the template with match="procedure" in fo/lists.xsl:
<fo:list-block xsl:use-attribute-sets="list.block.spacing"
provisional-distance-between-starts="2em"
provisional-label-separation="0.2em">
So you will have to customize that template as well in order to change
the provisional-distance-between-starts property to make space for
"Step". That indent should be a parameter, as it is for other list
elements.

Subject: [docbook-apps] Customizing procedure steps
Hi,
I would like my procedure steps to start with "Step %n." instead of "%n."
I thought this would be a simple gentext customization, but either
it's more
complicated, or I am missing something totally obvious.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Robert Fekete
