Thanks George! How do I modify the DTD to allow xi:xinclude inside an imagedata?

Please note that Saxon and FOP are not validating your DocBook file against a DTD or against a schema. Saxon will only care to have an XML (that is well formed) document and it will get you from that to an intermediary XSL-FO file that FOP will use as input and get your PDF file. Invalid DocBook documents may very well pass through this processings performed by Saxon and FOP. This processing will stop only if you have the Saxon executing an xsl:message with terminate=yes or if you end up with an XSL-FO file that FOP is not able to handle. oXygen validates the document against the DocBook DTD or schema and if the document passes that validation then you know it is conforming with that DocBook DTD or schema. The correct solution is to move to DocBook 5. However, if the document passes fine though your processings and the only thing you want is to see it valid then you can customize/change the DTD to accept for instance xi:include inside imagedata. Then you can also add an XSLT customization layer that matches on imagedata containing something else than MathML and issue a termination message specifying that only MathML is accepted inside imagedata.

RE: [docbook-apps] MathML and graphic images in single source
Thanks for the reply Tom, I'm using DocBook 4.5 and have been using graphics for the equations. This is quick and easy (usually), but doesn't scale real well. The higher the resolution of the graphics, the bigger the file. Since I have a great deal of these, I lower the resolution as far as I can get away with. As a result, they are not really sharp and crisp like they are when rendered with MathML in the Jeuclid FOP plugin. I want the equations to show up in the equations TOC and be numbered and be able to be referenced, but I also want to treat them differently (use graphics) if the output is HTML. Yet I'm unsure of how to go about that. I wonder if the ALT tag could be used to render Mathml?

Oktober 2007, Nelson, Dean wrote: I would like to have my MathML equations show up in the PDF and the graphic images of the equations show up in the HTML renderings. Would I use the mediaobject or equation or something else? I am not sure, but if I remember correctly, the stylesheets copies the MathML markup directly into the HTML code. However, for the HTML stylesheets, there is no automatism that converts MathML into, say, PNG. The browser has to support MathML markup. Back to your question: Both elements should work, actually it depends on the title. Generally, an equation has a title that is numbered. It appear also in the list of equations (usually at the beginning of a book). Normally, equations are just a wrapper for mediaobject(s). The element mediaobject holds just the skeleton of the references to your equations, be it for PDF or HTML. Actually it can hold an arbitrary number of imageobjects that points to a image source (see below). It can contain a caption but that is not numbered and doesn't appear in the list of equations. Just to clarify equation and mediaobject. Right now I am using just the equation tag and then xinclude the MathML source. This works well for the PDF but it doesn't seem to validate under Oxygen 8.3 - any clues on that? Do you use DocBook 4.x or DocBook 5? Either way, if you xinclude your MathML source, these elements are unknown in DocBook. You have to customize the DTD or the RELAX NG to allow MathML markup inside equation. See http://www.docbook.org/docs/howto/#faq-customization-mathml for DocBook5. I have no link ATM for customization for DocBook4. I want to expand the equations to add support for an HTML viewer that does not support the MathML, hence the graphics. Any help/thoughts would be appreciated. There is also another possibility. You could just omit the MathML markup and reference to the rendered graphic(s): mediabobject imageobject role=fo !-- For high quality, use a supported vector format like PDF, EPS, ... -- imagedata fileref=equation.pdf/ /imageobject imageobject role=html !-- Any pixel format like JPEG, PNG, GIF, ... should work for a browser -- imagedata fileref=equation.png/ /imageobject /mediaobject You have to render your formula with a respective tool first, that could be OpenOffice.org or LaTeX. The advantage is you can use the official DocBook schema without any customization. The drawback is it's not a direkt way, you need an additional step.

[docbook-apps] Selective pagebreaks
All, I have a situation where I place the ?hard-pagebreak? (as per Stayton's book) at the end of selected sections so that the next section can start on a clean page. Yes, this is a severe hack that I am now paying for ;-) However, this leaves an undesirable artifact - an extra page that is not labeled Blank Page like other blank pages would be in normal processing. I could modify the section template to end the page, but then ALL of the sections would have that. Plus, some of my sections are at different levels. Ideally I would like to make a PI that I can use on selected sections that intelligently says start a new page now. Any ideas?

RE: [docbook-apps] Selective pagebreaks
What I have is a series of TESTS. Each test is a section. At the end of each
TEST I have a hard-pagebreak which usually just forces the next section to
start on a new page. However, if the section is near to the end of the pasge
already, then it inserts another page.
The PI that I use is the one from the book.
xsl:template match=processing-instruction('hard-pagebreak')
fo:block break-before='page'/
/xsl:template
I wonder, could I use break-after='page' instead of before?

If you meant start a new page on this section but not in this other, in LFS
we have a customization that creates conditional new pages for sect1 based on
if a descendant sect2 contains role=package or not:
!-- Force package's sect1 onto a new page --
xsl:attribute-set name=section.level1.properties
xsl:attribute name=break-before
xsl:choose
xsl:when
test=preceding-sibling::sect1[position()=1]/sect2/@role='package'
or self::sect1/sect2/@role='package'page/xsl:when
xsl:otherwise
xsl:textauto/xsl:text
/xsl:otherwise
/xsl:choose
/xsl:attribute
/xsl:attribute-set
Note: This make use of @break-before just to avoid such extra blank pages.

RE: [docbook-apps] Replacing Terms
Paul, This is one way that I handle it (taken from Stayton's book) I use ENTITY statements. Our product is currently named EDGE. However, in a few months it will be renamed. So what I do is have an include file with ENTITY statements in it. The entry for the NAME of EDGE would be: !ENTITY EDGE EDGE This is in a file (eec-edge-defs.mod) that is included in every source file: !DOCTYPE book PUBLIC -//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.4//EN http://www.docbook.org/xml/4.4/docbookx.dtd;[ !ENTITY % edge-defs SYSTEM eec-edge-defs.mod %edge-defs; ] Then every place where the word EDGE is referenced, I replace it with EDGE;. So in your case, you will only have to do the search and replace operation once. Now when the name is changed in a few months I just change one file and everything changes. Its kind of like a #define in the C/C++ language. Hope this helps.

RE: [docbook-apps] Dynamically creating an FO table based on content length
This was something that I was wondering myself, just yesterday. I wanted to be able to do a list that had a certain height and would automatically wrap to the next column on the right when the height was exceeded. But atlas, this mere mortal failed and could not figure out how to do it with standard Docbook features. I think that this is a feature that could be added to the lists in Docbook?

I realize that I am perhaps approaching this problem incorrectly, so I hope someone can point me in the right direction. Suppose that I have an arbitrary series of paragraphs in my source file, containing an arbitrary amount of content: paraThis is some content./para paraThis is more content./para paraThis is even more content./para paraThis is a longer amount of content./para Now, suppose that I want to format this source in an FO table with a single row of cells. I want the table to have a fixed height--say, 2 inches--so that the table never grows higher than 2 inches. I might do this by placing block-containers within the table cells, giving them height attributes. Then, I distribute my content among the table cells accordingly: fo:table fo:table-column column-number=1/ fo:table-column column-number=2/ fo:table-body fo:table-row fo:table-cell fo:block-container height=2in fo:blockThis is some content./fo:block fo:blockThis is more content./fo:block fo:blockThis is even more content./fo:block /fo:block-container /fo:table-cell fo:table-cell fo:block-container height=2in fo:blockThis is a longer amount of content./fo:block /fo:block-container /fo:table-cell /fo:table-row /fo:table-body /fo:table The problem, however, is that the source file can contain any number of paragraphs of various lengths, and this will not be known until processing time. Since I never want my table exceed 2 inches in height, I may need to add more columns as needed to get additional cells. The idea here is that the first cell will accommodate 2-inches-worth of content, then whatever overflows will spill into the next cell, which will in turn accommodate 2 inches of content, etc., and this will continue until all content is displayed. I'd like a stylesheet to automatically handle this. It will determine how much content there is, how many table columns are needed, and distribute the content accordingly. However, this seems rather difficult to do, since the stylesheet has no way of knowing what the final print output will look like, how large the fonts will be, etc. I might be able to do something with string lengths. Calculate the length of each paragraph, calculate the capacity of a table cell, and output the paragraphs in table cells where they fit. But this would be based on character counts only, which hold no bearing on the final print output when a variable-width font is used; i.e., if the string abcde has a length of 5, that doesn't tell me anything about how much physical space the text abcde will occupy when printed in Helvetica font at size 12pt. Does what I'm getting at make sense? I hope I am being clear about my problem; let me know if I am not. Thanks, Colin
RE: [docbook-apps] Dynamically creating an FO table based on content length

However, I don't believe that this is a DocBook-specific problem, or a shortcoming of the DocBook DTD / XSL distribution itself. I could be using my own custom DTD and I still wouldn't know how to write XSLT that can predict the physical dimensions of printed text blocks after they are generated by an FO processor. That is the heart of my question. Obviously, there is no way a stylesheet can know exactly what printed output will look like, since the FO processor has yet to do its magic. But maybe there's a good way to predict the output, somehow. If you wanted to go all-out, you could probably do the following: 1) Based on the font family, size, weight, and style that will be used, calculate the final, printed widths of each possible character (or at least letters/numbers) and store them in variables. 2) Use these values to calculate the total widths of the paragraphs/listitems/whatever you want to output. 3) Use these total widths to calculate how many lines each paragraph/listitem/whatever needs to occupy. 4) Use this information to determine how many columns are needed to contain all the lines of text produced. That, however, seems like a lot of work, and a very complicated stylesheet. Is there a better way?
