RE: [docbook-apps] mediaobject with base64 encoded image data
Hi Bob, thanks for the feedback. I looked into 4 alternatives: 1) IBEX At the moment our choice because it's relatively cheap, fast and even though it produces quite large PDF files (double size in respect to the Antenna House implementation) it is not a KO criteria for IBEX. 2) Antenna House This is the most expensive option. We won't spend that much unless we run into serious trouble with IBEX (bugs, etc..). 3) FO.NET Did not pass all tests and is poorly supported - well - it is free. :-) 4) FOP This would be my favourite, but unfortunately we cannot depend on a java application. Going back to the customization, you wouldn't do the previously mentioned customization differently, would you? I'm asking because I also thought about integrating base64-encoded imagedata better into docbook by: 1) either creating a fresh new attribute like src on the imagedata / tag that could be passed on to the respective FO attribute src in the tag fo:external-graphic /. 2) or parsing the fileref attribute and don't wrap it in url() if it starts with imagedata. Both 1) and 2) feel much more like the right solution that could also become a patch that could be applied on the next release of the docbook stylesheets. What do you think about that?

Therefore I'm digging only in the docbook to FO stylesheets. While investigating that we had the idea to base64 encode images and include them in the docbook because it enables us to bypass image caching while generating PDF on the fly. To include a base64 image I had the idea to write it as: -- quote -- docbook:figure docbook:titleSample/docbook:title docbook:mediaobject docbook:imageobject fo:external-graphic src=data:image/jpeg;base64,XYZ width=auto height=auto content-width=auto content-height=auto content-type=content-type:image/jpeg / /docbook:imageobject /docbook:mediaobject /docbook:figure -- /quote -- But unfortunately the stylesheet (1.75.2 release) would wrap that within a fo:instream-foreign-object / and that causes the FO processor to fail including the base64 encoded image. Therefore I changed the docbook xsl stylesheet (based on the 1.75.2 release) in the file fo/graphics.xsl slightly: -- diffquote -- xsl:template match=imageobject xsl:choose xsl:when test=imagedata xsl:apply-templates select=imagedata/ /xsl:when +xsl:when test=fo:external-graphic + xsl:apply-templates mode=copy-all / +/xsl:when xsl:otherwise fo:instream-foreign-object xsl:apply-templates mode=copy-all/ /fo:instream-foreign-object /xsl:otherwise /xsl:choose /xsl:template -- /diffquote -- This patch drops the fo:instream-foreign-object / tag when encountering fo:external-graphic /. Does this patch break other things? Would you guys do it somehow different?

No, it's

It's not only IBEX, you can modify existing template and compensate for
IBEX as well:
xsl:template name=fo-external-image
xsl:param name=filename/
xsl:choose
xsl:when test=$passivetex.extensions != 0

/xsl:otherwise

Just add $ibex.extension and omit url() if it is set to 1.

Thanks a lot for the clarifications. Now I understand why there's this test.
For now I won't dive into further modifications to compensate the errors of
others. :-) But I will keep this in mind as another possible solution.

[docbook-apps] XML Table Structure, color and text direction with DocBook and Oxygen
Hello,, we recently started transferring our user manuals from Word do DocBook. We realized on our first pages that we had problems structuring our tables in the same manner as we did with word. As an example: Purpose|Document Purpose|Application Purpose|Application Purpose|App1| App2 |Content|Content Purpose|App1| App2 |Content| Content The purposes on the left side occupy the entire left side of the table without any disruptions, whereas the documents on the right side have a subdivision into additional purposes or application. As an e.g., one application is used for testing, the other one is used for reporting. But both are used for automatization. As a consequence Purpose|Application turns intoPurpose|App1| App2 |Content| Content Since most purposes consist of at least two cells that have been merged, we cannot simply leave cells empty. Additionally, there is not only one, but usually two ore more application fulfilling a certain purpose. Also, and this it what makes it pretty hard for us, Purpose, App, and Document have a grey background and are written bold. As you can see there is pretty much to take care of: - How can you structure a table similar as in word, e.g. by merging and subdividing/ splitting cells? - How can you define a cells background color? Purpose and Document (at the top of the table) are the table headings and thus have a different format than the rest of the table. - Is it possible to change a cells/ tables text direction, so that a table ? In some cases, the text direction of a text within a tables has to be changed ( e.g. 90°) Thanks for the help!

Indeed it looks promising! David As I know, Android uses XML to keep the data and also for store/maintain the structure of the GUI. Each component has an identifier and when java class want to get access into XML they use identifies. So, those identifies are saved in a one common file generated by Android(default) and get access to other XML contents via it. I researched for find a way to view the html content[1] [2] in Android ( according to Jirka said that I can use DocBook xsl into my project). I found that their is class library for html inside android OS. So, I think it can do the html rendering part and show the content which are generated by DocBook xsl. So I have to use those resources in useful manner, implement more effective user interface[3]. I tried for few of Android applications like pdf readers and eBook readers. I try with those in my Android emulator (which is virtual Android phone running on Desktop) and tried to figure out some of missing thing.

Re: [docbook-apps] Yet again, FOP complaining of the generated fo file
Thanks for pointing out the ?dbfo need?. That is indeed the item that is generating the empty list-item-label. I'll fix that in the source tree. Regarding dbfo needs in FOP, the last time I tried it I found it is close to working. The basic mechanism works, but it does not properly preserve the vertical spacing because FOP did not support certain spacing properties, but which ones I don't recall at this moment. It is possible they have fixed those spacing properties, in which case it should work. If you test it, let me know what your results are.

Re: [docbook-apps] Regarding the project DocBook to Word XML roundtripping XSLs
Hi, I'm assuming that you have downloaded the DocBook XSL stylesheets? There is a specification document contained in it that details what is and isn't supported by the roundtripping system. In what way would you like to participate in the project? Supporting Open Office? Extending the system to later versions of Word? Use of XSLT 2.0? Let me know.
