Hi,
In DocBook XSL, the term 'label' usually refers to a number, like chapter
number or table number. Those are generally included in an entry in a table of
contents. The template named 'toc.line' in fo/autotoc.xsl that is used to
generate each entry has this:
<xsl:variable name="label">
<xsl:apply-templates select="." mode="label.markup"/>
</xsl:variable>
Apparently the elements glossdiv and glossentry do not have a template with
mode="label.markup". So the processor falls back to the template with
match="*" and mode="label.markup" in common/labels.xsl, which generates that
error message.
As you found, that isn't a problem because if the $label variable is empty, it
is not used. You could add your own empty template to avoid the noise:
<xsl:template match="d:glossdiv | d:glossentry" mode="label.markup"/>
This empty template will prevent the default template from being used.

Subject: [docbook-apps] toc for glossary
Hi,
I have a couple of standalone Glossaries for my docus to be printed out as
kind of a lexicon. So I wanted a nice table of content made out of glossdivs
and glossentries. I therefor took a template and changed it to what I thought
was the right way to get what I wanted; here's the customized template:
<!-- writes a table of contents for the glossary -->
<xsl:template match="d:glossary|d:glossdiv|d:glossentry|d:glossterm"
mode="toc">
<xsl:param name="toc-context" select="."/>
<xsl:variable name="id">
<xsl:call-template name="object.id"/>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:variable name="cid">
<xsl:call-template name="object.id">
<xsl:with-param name="object" select="$toc-context"/>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:call-template name="toc.line">
<xsl:with-param name="toc-context" select="$toc-context"/>
</xsl:call-template>
<xsl:variable name="nodes"
select="d:glossary|d:glossdiv|d:glossentry"/>
<xsl:variable name="depth.from.context"
select="count(ancestor::*)-count($toc-context/ancestor::*)"/>
<xsl:if
test="$toc.section.depth > 0
and $toc.max.depth > $depth.from.context
and $nodes">
<fo:block id="toc.{$cid}.{$id}">
<xsl:attribute name="margin-{$direction.align.start}">
<xsl:call-template name="set.toc.indent"/>
</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:apply-templates select="$nodes" mode="toc">
<xsl:with-param name="toc-context"
select="$toc-context"/>
</xsl:apply-templates>
</fo:block>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
This works fine, the glossary toc looks like it should:
But I get a lot of errors during generation, saying labels for glossdiv and
glossentries are missing:
Request for label of unexpected element: glossdiv
Request for label of unexpected element: glossentry
Probably a daft question, but where are the labels being called in the
template?
As I said, the outcome is not affected by these messages, but the data
generation process looks a bit messy - and it can't be right.
Any comment is appreciated!
Thanks,
Benno
