Hi
I’m new to docbook and XSLT, and tried to find the answer among the different
books/websites and failed, so looking up for your help (pointers to the right
place will be good as well).
I’m trying to add a new element to my docbook, that will describe a requirement
for example:
<requirement>
<req_id>TRC_001</req_id>
<version>1</version>
<status>New</status>
<priority>H</priority>
<description>We need to be able to save a snapshot of requirements per
product version</description>
<traceability>None</traceability>
</requirement>
In my outputs, I want to format each such requirement as a table. Writing same
table as docbook table directly, I would have something like:
<table>
<tgroup cols="4">
<colspec colnum="1" colname="1" colwidth="*" />
<colspec colnum="2" colname="3" colwidth="*" />
<colspec colnum="3" colname="3" colwidth="*" />
<colspec colnum="4" colname="4" colwidth="*" />
<spanspec spanname="desc" namest="1"
nameend="3"/>
<tbody>
<row>
<entry><para>TRC_001</para> </entry>
<entry><para>1</para> </entry>
<entry><para>New</para></entry>
<entry><para>H</para></entry>
</row>
<row>
<entry
spanname="desc"><para> We need to be able to save a snapshot of requirements
per product version </para></entry>
<entry
colname="4"><para>None</para></entry>
</row>
</tbody>
</tgroup>
</table>
I tried to add this to stylesheet, but I cannot write “docbook” table there,
and I have to do it per output format (HTML – use the tr & td flags, FO for PDF
and other print formats…)
1. Is there a way to do the conversion of the new “requirement” into docbook
code, which will automatically be formatted as HTML or FO later, base on the
xsltproc parameters I give?
2. Is there a way to add reference based on the requirement ID (so I can
link to it later)?
Thanks in advance
Ilan
