Hi Robert, You seem to have left off the mode="class.attribute" in your template. In its current form it is processing in normal mode, which effectively kills the output for that element.

Hi, there, I am trying to add custom attribute values to all para tags inside a specific chapter(the reason for this will be explained in a later question). About a year or so ago, Bob suggested a way to insert new attributes and values into html output. https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/docbook-apps/201108/msg00091.html However, when I try it using the epub 3 stylesheets, it doesn't succeed: My goal here is to add a custom attribute and value for every p tag inside the <chapter xml:id="mypreface"> ******************************* MY SOURCE XML <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <?oxygen RNGSchema="http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/5.0/rng/docbook.rng"; type="xml"?> <book xmlns="http://docbook.org/ns/docbook"; xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude"; xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"; version="5.0" xml:id="robert-book"> <chapter xml:id="mypreface"> <title>First</title> <para> this is my good <emphasis role="bold">bold </emphasis>first para</para> <para> This is my good second para</para> </chapter> <chapter xml:id="bad1"> <title>Second</title> <para> this is my bad<emphasis role="bold">bold</emphasis>first para</para> <para> This is my bad second para</para> </chapter> <chapter xml:id="bad2"> <title>Third </title> <para> 2this is my bad<emphasis role="bold">bold</emphasis>first para</para> <para> 2 This is my bad second para</para> </chapter> *************************************************************MY CUSTOMIZATION LAYER <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"; xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"; xmlns:d="http://docbook.org/ns/docbook"; xmlns:date="http://exslt.org/dates-and-times"; xmlns:saxon="http://icl.com/saxon"; exclude-result-prefixes="d date saxon" version="1.0"> <xsl:import href="../../../../1latest/docbook-xsl-ns-1.78.0/epub3/chunk.xsl"/> <xsl:template match="chapter[@xml:id = 'mypreface']/para" > <xsl:param name="width" select="local-name(.)"/> <xsl:attribute name="width">50px</xsl:attribute> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> ********************************************************************* (I also changing the xpath statement to d:chapter[@xml:id = 'preface']/d:para with the same result) I would expect every p tag in the RESULT output to contain 'width="50px". But instead I see for the first chapter this result: ... <body><header></header> <section class="chapter" title="First" epub:type="chapter" id="mypreface"> <div class="titlepage"> <div> <div><h1 class="title">First</h1></div> </div> </div> <p> this is my good <span class="bold"><strong>bold </strong></span>first para</p> <p> This is my good second para</p></section><footer></footer></body> ************************************************************************************ I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong; have I written the xpath wrong? For the previous xsl snippet Bob suggested which I used for adding custom attributes, this was pre-epub3. How would you do this in epub3? Or am I making a syntax error of some sort?
