Hi, I have been using ant for publishing for some time. Typical usage scenarios in my company are these: - publish documentation to webhelp and pdf as part of the application build - publish documentation as an eclipse infocenter plugin (this involves updating working copy from svn, stopping

[docbook-apps] I18N

2010-08-26 Thread Dave Pawson
I'm reading a text which is very localized. It's odd words, rather than boilerplate which I believe is the basis for docbook I18N. Anyone any references please for best practice in this area? I like the docbook principles, to keep all 'foreign' text out of the main body and reference it [via

Hi Peter, I also use Ant for our build process and would add a couple of points to those others have made: The xslt task [1] allows you to pass in parameters if they have been specified. This is very convenient since you want to use the default values from the xslts unless you pass in a

Dean: For what it is worth, I have also seen very similar errors - but definately not using a segmented list, Using DocBook XSL 1.75.2, FOP 0.95 same warning, and error message about proportional column width, and though not a segmented list it was in some other sort of list and/or a table.

We have a fairly complex Ant based system that uses an individual build file for each document that includes a set of build files that have the actual targets for building; this allows us to customize things like file names and destination paths easily. Each document can be processed into a

Thanks, but that type doesn't do anything in the code. Also using the PIs does not help either. After looking closer in the 1.75.2 stylesheets, the segmentedlist template in fo/lists.xsl has a problem when used in FOP. It specifies the table as an auto table and it needs to be a fixed table

Hi, Actually, this was a bug in DocBook XSL. The stylesheets sometimes use fo:table to layout certain elements. For segmentedlist, a layout table is used if the stylesheet parameter 'segmentedlist.as.table' is changed from the default 0 to 1. In this case, because the fo:table-columns use

Hi Dave, I guess I need some clarification of your terminology here. When you say odd words, I presume that means the text is mixed language text, with foreign words mixed with English text, rather than foreign content isolated in elements? And when you say boilerplate, are you referring to
