One way to get a bunch of api docs in DocBook in a hurry is to run
dbdoclet http://www.michael-a-fuchs.de/ on some Java :-)

Regarding the empty divs, what about a post-processing step (like one
pass profiling, but on the other end) that processes the output and
turns this:
div class=titlepagedivdivh1 class=titlea
id=d0e45/Preface/h1/div/div/div
Into this:
div class=titlepageh1 class=titlea
id=d0e45/Preface/h1/div
If I have this in my source:
row
entry colname=col1Text/entry
entry colname=col2
paraText/para
/entry
/row
I'll get this in my html output:
tr
tdText/td
tdpText/p/td
/tr
If I output xhtml, in Firefox, the text in the two cells will not be
horizontally aligned.

Subject: [docbook-apps] whitespace - confirmation please
Hi All,
Could someone give me a hand regarding my understanding of whitespace.
I guess that has to be a fop bug, but I would think others would have
noticed it. Perhaps you could avoid the situation by replacing the
spaces with nbsps:
l:template name=page.citation text=#x00A0;(p.#x00A0;%p)/
No line break, no problem? :-)

I found myself wanting more than 10 callouts and wanting them too look
crisp in pdf, so I made some svg callouts (and used Batik to convert
them to other formats for use in html). I'm actually using the pdf
version of the callouts in my output because XEP wasn't rendering the
svgs for me. It
I figured out the reason the svg images weren't working and fixed them.
Apparently XEP doesn't support opacity=0 in svgs.

Not sure it justifies the extra markup, but in terms of what the xsls
do, one thing you get with a reference and refentries that you don't
with a chapter and sections is additional summary info (the refpurpose)
in the toc. You can see this in the toc for tdg under I. DocBook

Cheri,
Are you using exec to call Saxon? Try using the xslt task--it's much better
for this if you're using a java xslt processor. In the following example,
assume the properties condition, saxon_class_path, in, out, stylesheet_path,
and xslt-force-regeneration, are defined elsewhere:

I notice that simplesects are not chunks and so can be a way to let the
writer put subsections in an individual chunk/topic. Before we start
using them like this, I want to make sure I'm not relying on a bug. Is
it intentional that simplesects are not chunks?
One other thing I've noticed:
XMetaL can be scripted to do anything, but it doesn't have many friendly
DocBook macros out of the box. The included demo Journalist DTD is
similar to DocBook and those macros and features can be converted by
renaming some elements. XMLMind's XXE and Syntext's Serna offer much
better DocBook
transformations, to preview
what it will look like in HTML, in print, etc.?
Just curious.

Speaking of sidebars...using XEP 4.6, if I have a sidebar that would
extend past a page break, the sidebar disappears leaving a page
break/lots of empty space. I tried adding xsl:attribute
name=keep-together.within-columnauto/xsl:attribute to
sidebar.properties, but it didn't help. Is this a known
I should say if I have a sidebar rendered as a float (?dbfo
float-type=left? or ?dbfo float-type=right?). With float-type of
'none', the sidebar content appears.

Kari,
As I understand it, the ability to make a pdf commentable by Acrobat
Reader users (as opposed to full Acrobat users) is a proprietary thing
that Adobe controls. I.e. it's a feature they use to convince you to buy
Acrobat Pro or another Adobe product rather than using a free
alternative:
You can get something pretty cover-like just using titlepages for front covers
IMO. You can't do full page covers (e.g. with things that look like bleeds). If
you need something fancy like that you need to write some custom stuff at this
point. Here's a pretty old and kludgy example
Martin,
Try setting use.embed.for.svg to 1:

You probably want a book or training for longer explanations, but for
quick lookups of elements/attrs with examples and links to the spec, I
use: http://www.zvon.org/xxl/xslfoReference/Output/index.html
