Hi Jen, If you are using the namespaced version of the stylesheets (docbook-xsl-ns), then you need to add the namespace to any element references in the stylesheet:
d:releaseinfo Bob Stayton Sagehill Enterprises [email protected] From: Jen Sent: Monday, October 14, 2013 5:51 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [docbook-apps] Adding releaseinfo to variable (to display in footer) Hi everyone, Hoping for a little help yet again :) I'd like my footers to display the value of the <releaseinfo> element (in the example below, 3.2), but they are empty in PDF output. I'm pretty sure that the variable that should hold the version never gets populated, but I don't understand why. (In the future, I'd like to have productname+releaseinfo, but I got stuck before having to figure out concatenations.) In my XML, I have this: <book xmlns="http://docbook.org/ns/docbook"; version="5.0"> <info> <title>CTU User Guide</title> <releaseinfo>3.2</releaseinfo> <productname>CTU></productname> </info> [...] </book> In my XSL, I have: <xsl:variable name="Version"> <xsl:when test="//releaseinfo"> <xsl:choose> <xsl:text>CTU </xsl:text> <xsl:value-of select="//releaseinfo"/> </xsl:when> <xsl:otherwise> CTU 3.0 </xsl:otherwise> </xsl:choose> </xsl:variable> <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="$sequence='blank'"> <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="$double.sided != 0 and $position = 'left'"> <xsl:value-of select="$Version"/> </xsl:when> <xsl:when test="$double.sided = 0 and $position = 'center'"> <!-- nop --> </xsl:when> <xsl:otherwise> <fo:page-number/> </xsl:otherwise> </xsl:choose> </xsl:when> <xsl:when test="$pageclass='titlepage'"> <!-- nop: other titlepage sequences have no footer --> </xsl:when> <xsl:when test="$double.sided != 0 and $sequence = 'even' and $position='left'"> <fo:page-number/> </xsl:when> <xsl:when test="$double.sided != 0 and $sequence = 'odd' and $position='right'"> <fo:page-number/> </xsl:when> <xsl:when test="$double.sided = 0 and $position='right'"> <fo:page-number/> </xsl:when> <xsl:when test="$double.sided != 0 and $sequence = 'odd' and $position='left'"> <xsl:value-of select="$Version"/> </xsl:when> <xsl:when test="$double.sided != 0 and $sequence = 'even' and $position='right'"> <xsl:value-of select="$Version"/> </xsl:when> <xsl:when test="$double.sided = 0 and $position='left'"> <xsl:value-of select="$Version"/> </xsl:when> <xsl:otherwise> <!-- nop --> </xsl:otherwise> </xsl:choose> </xsl:template> (This part is a bit messy, I think, but I inherited the customization layer and I don't want to mess with it too much.) If anyone can shed any light, it would help a ton - I'm very new to all this and it gets confusing at times. Thanks, Jen
