Re: [docbook-apps] Parameters in Docbook Article
Camille, That worked brilliantly, thanks. Russell 2008/8/26 Russell Seymour [EMAIL PROTECTED] Camille, Thanks very much for the pointer. I will give it a go and let you know how it goes. Russell 2008/8/26 Camille Bégnis [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi, yes that looks completely reasonable, you'd just need to decide what markup in the source XML would be used to hold the client name, for example phrase role=xslparam vendor=output.client/ (completely wild guess). and then define in your custom XSL the function that will match the above element and replace it with the content of the $output.client parameter Hope that helps, Camille. Russell Seymour wrote: Good afternoon, I am starting to work with Docbook again after a long time of not using it. I am trying to find my feet again, and I am sure there is something that I used to do that I cannot work out how to do how so I am hoping you will be able to assist me. I would like to set a parameter on the command line that sets the client, e.g. --stringparam output.client ACME and then use the output.client within the Docbook markup and for ACME to be displayed in the final output. Is this possible or have I lost I completely lost the plot? Thanks, Russell

Great, actually I had never thought about it before, but I guess that's something that could be generalized and possibly included by default in the docbook XSL. What's the others experience with this kind of requirement? (as a replacement to SGML ENTITY...) What system did you use? Xinclude? Camille.
