Re: [docbook-apps] R: [docbook-apps] footnote - nested tables

[Bob Stayton]

There is one other approach that might work if you are using xsltproc 
and the inserted informaltable is a CALS table. The entrytbl element has 
the same content model as tgroup (except entrytbl does not accept 
tfoot).  Since xsltproc's XInclude implementation supports some xpath 
syntax, you could try something like this, with the appropriate xpath:



  ...
  xpointer="xpointer(/article/section[2]/informaltable[1]/tgroup/*"/>


This will include the content of the informaltable's tgroup into the 
entrytbl element.


If this works, you will get the footnote at the bottom of the main 
table, not the nested table, but at least it won't be duplicated.


If this doesn't suit you, then you'll need to create an XSL 
customization layer to customize some XSL templates to handle the 
footnote in the nested table.

I hoped to find a simple trick in your first answer.

The real problem for me is that the nested table (the internal one) is 
obtained through a link.


The real code I’m using is like this

    

     Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet 

xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude;

In this particular case, of course, it doesn’t accept me to insert the 
“include” in a . So I think the only solution is to modify 
the .xsl files… do you agree? Or Do you think the are other solutions?

It is possible but it would not be simple.  The stylesheets were not 
designed to handle a table nested in a para in a table entry.  
Normally CALS tables are nested with an entrytbl replacing entry, not 
a table element nested inside an entry element. In DocBook 5, your 
file will not validate as it would violate the Schematron rule that 
prevents putting informaltable inside entry.  It should be invalid in 
DocBook 4, but there is no way to express such an exclusion with DTD 
syntax.


The footnote machinery is already complicated by having to keep 
separate the table footnotes from the page footnotes.  So you would 
need to customize several templates that number and place footnote 
markers, as well as places where footnote paragraphs are rendered, to 
take into account nested table footnotes.  Those templates are in the 
footnotes.xsl and table.xsl stylesheet modules.

Hi everybody,

I’m facing a problem: I have a “table-in-a-table” and if I put a
footnote in the text inside the inner table, it is reported twice:
once out of the internal table and once out of the external one.

Is it possible to make it appear only under the internal table?

I hope my request is clear; I report my example and the result, to
make it easier to understand.

Thank you in advance!
