Re: [docbook-apps] insert.link.page.number in xsl stylesheets

2021-06-15 Thread Kevin Dunn 
Thanks. Changing the default worked for both xref and link. I could not make a 
custom "mystyle" style work with either of them. That's fine. I would prefer to 
have the same style throughout a document, except when I don't want a page 
reference. "nopage" works for both xrefs and links, so now I'm able to do 
everything I want to do.

FYI, when I tried to use a custom "mystyle", both xref and link gave me the 
default style. xref recognizes page, Page, pageabbrev, pagenumber, and nopage. 
Anything else (including "mystyle") gives the default. link recognizes only 
nopage. Anything else gives the default.

Hi Kevin,

Indeed, it looks like the "select:" mechanism in @xrefstyle was never 
implemented for link element page references, only for xrefs.  This will 
require customizing the generated text instead.  See 
http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/CustomGentext.html#CustomGenText


You can change the default (unspecified) style by adding this to your 
customization layer:



http://docbook.sourceforge.net/xmlns/l10n/1.0;>
  

  

  



If you don't want to alter the default style, the named style mechanism does 
work, so you could add a this  instead (note the @style attribute):

.


http://docbook.sourceforge.net/xmlns/l10n/1.0;>
  

  

  



Then you would get your style if you specify , 
otherwise you get the default.

Interestingly, xref and link behave differently when it comes to quotes, and I

I think the problem is in the param statement, where the string yes is being 
interpreted as an element name.





(I added single quotes around the word yes).

Page number for links do not work as I would expect from reading 
http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/CustomXrefs.html.

In my custom xsl, I have both:



My xml file contains both:

A Chapter link

The fo from xsltproc renders page numbers for the xref, but not for the link. 
The behavior is the same using version 1.79.1 stylesheet and the 
snapshot/2020-06-03. Fop, xep, and axf produce PDFs with working links, but

I may be misreading the documentation or misunderstanding the xsl (very 
possible). The xsl is different for xref and link in xref.xsl, but to my 
untrained eye, both look reasonable.

Any suggestions?

Hi Kevin,

Indeed, it looks like the "select:" mechanism in @xrefstyle was never 
implemented for link element page references, only for xrefs. This will 
require customizing the generated text instead.  See 
http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/CustomGentext.html#CustomGenText



You can change the default (unspecified) style by adding this to your 
customization layer:




http://docbook.sourceforge.net/xmlns/l10n/1.0;>
  
    
  
    
  



If you don't want to alter the default style, the named style mechanism 
does work, so you could add a this  instead (note the @style attribute):


.


http://docbook.sourceforge.net/xmlns/l10n/1.0;>
  
    
  
    
  



Then you would get your style if you specify , 
otherwise you get the default.
