[docbook] Attribute Set for

Hi all, I created some custom fo:simple-page-masters for the DocBook/4, v.1.78.1 and while adding support for draft mode to them, I wondered why the original authors bothered with putting xsl:if test=$draft.watermark.image != '' xsl:attribute name=background-image xsl:call-template

Hi Bob, you're right of course. Sorry for the useless proposal. Anyway, is there all that much of a difference between a normal simple-page-master and a draft simple-page-master whose watermark has been turned off? (My rather superficial diff seems to indicate that the xsl:if in question is

[docbook] Potential bug with paras nested in listitems

Hi all, I discovered this while trying out some attributes for paras: for the first para inside a list-item, the para.properties attribute set is not applied. (See the template at lists.xsl +311; I use the DocBook stylesheet 1.78.0) Would you consider this a bug or is this on purpose? Regards,

Hi Ekaterina, as far as I understood your original mail, you managed to get your list of values parsed in the case of XSL-FO. If not, you will have to write some XSLT to parse your pseudo-CSS... Expect this to be a bit hard -- XSLT (at least, 1.0) is not really made for string manipulation,
