Doesn't titleabbrev serve this function? I use it with the tabular sheets all the 
time.

 I don't think I've provided support for that, but I need to do another
 Website release soon. Can you provide an example of what you'd like?

Re: DOCBOOK-APPS: Re: Norm : Bug in the 1.27 fo XSL stylesheets ?

2001-01-10 Thread Stéphane Bline

Norm,

Yes indeed but neither FOP nor XEP render this properly (no page numbers in
the TOCs for chapters). Whereas with the patch they do.
But then again, maybe both of them are not conforming to the formating
recommandations of the specs. I'm not sure...

Regards,
Stéphane Bline.

 Maybe we can pool our efforts on this. Saxon seems like a good (and the only) 
candidate.

OK, I'll make the second then. I suggest we also request xml.apache.org

Re: DOCBOOK-APPS: DocBook HTML Help stylesheet support for Xalan?

 This question is for Jirka Kosek in particular, but anyone else if

I think Jirka's comments within the stylesheet itself still say that
it *only* works with XT. But I'm sure that's no longer true, because
I've used it myself with Saxon and it works fine. Have you tried it
with Xalan?

 Also, I want to express my appreciation for the tremendous work you,
 Norm, and everyone else, have been doing on the stylesheets, the
 DTD, and so on. Through your efforts, you have made so many people's
 lives easier!

Amen.






DOCBOOK-APPS: [Fwd: RE: catalogs support in Saxon]

hi,

this is the answer I just got from Mickael Kay (Saxon).
What are exactly URIResolver (and EntityResolver)?

I don't intend to support SGML-like catalogs in Saxon unless and until
W3C
standardize them for use with XML. I hope that others can interface such
catalogs using the URIResolver (and EntityResolver) mechanism which is
already there in the product.

 Hi Mickael,
 
 I am the package maintainer for all SGML/XML related stuff at
 MandrakeSoft. 
 We noticed that the Saxon processor does not make use of open catalogs
 which greatly facilitates documents processing:

 Do you plan to make this available soon?
 
 Thanks for your work, Camille.

Title: FW: DOCBOOK-APPS: DocBook HTML Help stylesheet support for Xalan?





Thanks -- I checked again, and it works fine with Xalan, aside from some weird behavior by Microsoft HTML Help Workshop. Sorry about the confusion. I've been testing combos of Xalan, XT, FOP with various stylesheets ... I'm starting to lose my mind. :)

Re: DOCBOOK-APPS: XSL HTML stylesheets: support for DOCTYPE?

2001-01-10 Thread pilgrim_mark

Actually, you can do it in a template, I did it the
way I described and it worked like a charm (using
Saxon).  Using xsl:output seems much more elegant. 
But I just tried it, and while it works for
single-page XSL transformations, it fails for chunked
output.  Saxon writes each of the files without a
!DOCTYPE and then outputs the !DOCTYPE to stdout. 
Do you know why?

 / [EMAIL PROTECTED] was heard to say:

 You can't do that with a template, you should do
 that in your own
 customization layer with xsl:output:
 
 xsl:output doctype-public="..."
 doctype-system="..."/
