Re: [docbook-apps] can I move the table of contents?
Morning, some implementations use completely empty index tags to indicate where an automatically generated index should be inserted. so [...] Dominik, if I understood it correctly, Lorenzo talks about the table of contents, not the index. :) Back to Lorenzos original question: My question: Is there a way I can specify to generate the Table of Contents within a specific section instead that at very beginning of the document? (For example, some DocBook XSL option...) I guess you mean to move the TOC to the end of, lets say, a book? Yes, the DocBook stylesheets has lots of ways how to do this. The easiest method is to set a parameter, but in this case, I fear, there is none. However, if there is no parameter, you have to customize the respective template(s). First you have to create a customization layer (see [1] or [2]). Then you have to overwrite the standard implementation. For example, if you want to move the TOC of a book to the end, look at html/division.xsl and the book template. Here is the code: ---[ html/division.xsl ]--- xsl:template match=book xsl:call-template name=id.warning/ div xsl:apply-templates select=. mode=common.html.attributes/ xsl:if test=$generate.id.attributes != 0 xsl:attribute name=id xsl:call-template name=object.id/ /xsl:attribute /xsl:if xsl:call-template name=book.titlepage/ xsl:apply-templates select=dedication mode=dedication/ xsl:apply-templates select=acknowledgements mode=acknowledgements/ xsl:variable name=toc.params xsl:call-template name=find.path.params xsl:with-param name=table select=normalize-space($generate.toc)/ /xsl:call-template /xsl:variable xsl:call-template name=make.lots xsl:with-param name=toc.params select=$toc.params/ xsl:with-param name=toc xsl:call-template name=division.toc xsl:with-param name=toc.title.p select=contains($toc.params, 'title')/ /xsl:call-template /xsl:with-param /xsl:call-template xsl:apply-templates/ /div /xsl:template --- The make.lots is the part that makes the TOC and the xsl:apply-templates handles the rest of the book. Copy this template into your customization layer and switch the two. Or in other words: insert the xsl:apply-templates first and then the make.lots. I think this should do the trick, but that's just a quick look. Hope this helps. Good luck! :) --- References [1] http://sagehill.net/docbookxsl/CustomMethods.html#WriteCustomization [2] http://doccookbook.sourceforge.net/html/en/DoCookBook.html#dbc.common.dbcustomize -- Gruß/Regards, Thomas Schraitle - To unsubscribe, e-mail: docbook-apps-unsubscr...@lists.oasis-open.org For additional commands, e-mail: docbook-apps-h...@lists.oasis-open.org

Dominik, if I understood it correctly, Lorenzo talks about the table of contents, not the index. :) OFFTOPIC *laughingly* I never quite got the differences between TOC, indexes and bibliographies. To me they are all the same thing with different flavours. :-) /OFFTOPIC - To unsubscribe, e-mail: docbook-apps-unsubscr...@lists.oasis-open.org For additional commands, e-mail: docbook-apps-h...@lists.oasis-open.org

Hi Dominik, On Thu, 19 Apr 2012 09:23:06 +0200 Dominik Psenner dpsen...@gmail.com wrote: Dominik, if I understood it correctly, Lorenzo talks about the table of contents, not the index. :) OFFTOPIC *laughingly* I never quite got the differences between TOC, indexes and bibliographies. To me they are all the same thing with different flavours. :-) :-) It's not that difficult: * The TOC is a consecutive list of all the all titles, mainly of chapters, sections, and appendices (sometimes also from figures, tables, etc.) The titles appear in their respective order. In a book, a TOC is usually printed at the _beginning_. * The index is an alphabetically sorted list of terms. If you want to know where to find something about customization layers, you would usually search the index. In a book, the index can be found at the _end_. * A bibliography is a list of books, reports, magazines, Web pages etc. for further reading/information. For example, if you write a book about DocBook you would certainly refer (or cite) the DocBook Definitive Guide from Norman. An item in the bibliography contains the author, the ISBN number, edition, publisher, etc. to make it easy to find it. In a book, a bibliography is usually shown at the end. Look into a classical book and you will find these parts. Hope that helps. :) -- Gruß/Regards, Thomas Schraitle - To unsubscribe, e-mail: docbook-apps-unsubscr...@lists.oasis-open.org For additional commands, e-mail: docbook-apps-h...@lists.oasis-open.org
