740 Remove <b> and <i> elements "discouraged in favor of style sheets" from
741 XHTML, XHTML 1.1 (and therefore EPUB) outputs by changing html2xhtml.xsl.
743 Fixes bug #2873153: No <b> and <i> tags in XHTML/EPUB
745 Added regression to EPUB specs:
748 ● Keith Fahlgren: bin/lib/docbook.rb; bin/spec/files/DejaVuSerif-Italic.otf;
751 This resolves bug #2873142, Please add support for multiple embedded fonts
754 If you navigate to a checkout of DocBook-XSL and go to:
755 xsl/epub/bin/spec/files
756 You can now run the following command:
758 ../../dbtoepub -f DejaVuSerif.otf -f DejaVuSerif-Italic.otf -c test.css
759 -s test_cust.xsl orm.book.001.xml
761 In dbtoepub, the following option can be used more than once:
762 -f, --font [OTF FILE] Embed OTF FILE in .epub.
764 The underlying stylesheet now accepts a comma-separated list of font file
765 names rather than just one as the RENAMED epub.embedded.fonts ('s' added).
767 The runnable EPUB spec now includes:
768 - should be valid .epub after including more than one embedded font
771 ● Keith Fahlgren: docbook.xsl
773 Improve the selection of cover images when working in DocBook 4.x land (work in progress)
776 ● Keith Fahlgren: bin/spec/epub_regressions_spec.rb; docbook.xsl
778 Improve the quality of the OPF spine regression by ensuring that the spine
779 elements for deeply nested refentries are in order and adjacent to their
780 opening wrapper XHTML chunk.
783 ● Keith Fahlgren: bin/spec/epub_regressions_spec.rb; docbook.xsl; bin/spec/
786 Add more careful handling of refentries to ensure that they always appear in the opf:spine.
787 This was only a problem when refentries were pushed deep into the hierarchy (like inside
788 a sect2), but presented navigational problems for many reading systems (despite the
789 correct NCX references). This may *not* be the best solution, but attacking a better
790 chunking strategy for refentries was too big a nut to crack at this time.
795 The following changes have been made to the eclipse code since the 1.75.2
798 ● Mauritz Jeanson: eclipse3.xsl
800 Added a stylesheet module that generates plug-ins conforming to the standard (OSGi-based) Eclipse 3.x
801 architecture. The main difference to the older format is that metadata is stored in a separate
802 manifest file. The module imports and extends the existing eclipse.xsl module. Based on code
803 contributed in patch #2624668.
808 The following changes have been made to the params code since the 1.75.2
811 ● Robert Stayton: draft.watermark.image.xml

815 for local resolution.

2098 Put the following at the top of generated roff for each page:
2100 purpose is to explicitly tell AT&T troff that the page needs to be
2101 pre-processed through tbl(1); groff can figure it out
2102 automatically, but apparently AT&T troff needs to be explicitly told

2108 ● Keith Fahlgren: docbook.xsl
2110 Patch from Paul Norton of Adobe to get covers to look better in Adobe Digital Editions

2116 DocBook 5.0's <cover> now has some limited support:
2118 - should reference a cover in the OPF guide for a DocBook 5.0 test document
2120 ● Keith Fahlgren: bin/spec/files/isbn.xml; bin/spec/files/issn.xml; bin/spec/
2123 Liza Daly reported that the dc:identifer-generation code was garbage (she was right).
2126 - should include at least one dc:identifier
2127 - should include an ISBN as URN for dc:identifier if an ISBN was in the metadata

2129 - should include an biblioid as a dc:identifier if an biblioid was in the metadata
2130 - should include a URN for a biblioid with @class attribute as a dc:identifier if an biblioid was in the metadata
2132 ● Keith Fahlgren: docbook.xsl; bin/spec/epub_spec.rb

2135 we always send out one and only one h1 in each XHTML chunk.
2138 - should include one and only one <h1> in each HTML file in rendered ePub files

2197 to-DocBook: add cols attribute to tgroup
2198 from-DocBook: fix for blockquote title
2202 The following changes have been made to the params since the 1.74.0 release.
2204 ● The change was to add man.output.better.ps.enabled parameter, with its
2205 default value set to zero. If the value of the man.output.better.ps.enabled
2206 parameter is non-zero, certain markup is embedded in each generated man
2207 page such that PostScript output from the man -Tps command for that page
2208 will include a number of enhancements designed to improve the quality of
2209 that output. If man.output.better.ps.enabled is zero (the default), no such
2210 markup is embedded in generated man pages, and no enhancements are included
2211 in the PostScript output generated from those man pages by the man -Tps
2212 command. WARNING: The enhancements provided by this parameter rely on
2213 features that are specific to groff (GNU troff) and that are not part of
2214 "classic" AT&T troff or any of its derivatives. Therefore, any man pages
2215 you generate with this parameter enabled will be readable only on systems
2216 on which the groff (GNU troff) program is installed, such as GNU/Linux
2217 systems. The pages will not not be readable on systems on with the classic
2218 troff (AT&T troff) command is installed. NOTE: The value of this parameter
2219 only affects PostScript output generated from the man command. It has no
2220 effect on output generated using the FO backend. TIP: You can generate
2221 PostScript output for any man page by running the following command: man
2222 FOO -Tps > FOO.ps You can then generate PDF output by running the following
2223 command: ps2pdf FOO.ps
2225 ● Robert Stayton: writing.mode.xml
2227 writing mode param used to set text direction.
2229 ● Michael(tm) Smith: email.mailto.enabled.xml
2231 Added new param email.mailto.enabled for FO output.
2232 Patch from Paolo Borelli. Closes #2086321.
2234 ● Jirka Kosek: highlight.source.xml; highlight.xslthl.config.xml
2236 Upgraded to support the latest version of XSLTHL 2.0
2237 -- nested markup in highlited code is now processed
2238 -- it is no longer needed to specify path XSLTHL configuration file using Java property
2239 -- support for new languages, including Perl, Python and Ruby was added
2243 The following changes have been made to the highlighting code since the 1.74.0
2246 ● Jirka Kosek: cpp-hl.xml; c-hl.xml; tcl-hl.xml; php-hl.xml; common.xsl;
2247 perl-hl.xml; delphi⋯
2249 Upgraded to support the latest version of XSLTHL 2.0
2250 -- nested markup in highlited code is now processed
2251 -- it is no longer needed to specify path XSLTHL configuration file using Java property
2252 -- support for new languages, including Perl, Python and Ruby was added
2254 Release Notes: 1.74.0
2256 This release includes important bug fixes and adds the following significant
2261 Paul Norton (Adobe) and Keith Fahlgren(O'Reilly Media) have donated code
2262 that generates .epub documents from DocBook input. An alpha-reference
2263 implementation in Ruby has also been provided.
2265 .epub is an open standard of the The International Digital Publishing Forum
2266 (IDPF), a the trade and standards association for the digital publishing
2269 Read more about this target in epub/README
2273 To support .epub output, a strict XHTML 1.1 target has been added. The
2274 stylesheets for this output are generated and are quite similar to the
2279 A number of locales have been updated.
2281 Roundtrip improvements
2283 Table, figure, template syncronization, and character style improvements
2284 have been made for WordML & Pages. Support added for OpenOffice.org.
2286 First implementation of a libxslt extension
2288 A stylesheet extension for libxslt, written in Python, has been added. The
2289 extension is a function for adjusting column widths in CALS tables. See
2290 extensions/README.LIBXSLT for more information.
2292 The following is a list of changes that have been made since the 1.73.2
2297 The following changes have been made to the gentext code since the 1.73.2
2300 ● Michael(tm) Smith: locale/id.xml
2302 Checked in changes to Indonesion locale submitted by Euis Luhuanam a long time ago.
2304 ● Michael(tm) Smith: locale/lt.xml
2306 Added changes to Lithuanian locate submitted a long time back by Nikolajus Krauklis.
2308 ● Michael(tm) Smith: locale/hu.xml
2310 fixed error in lowercase.alpha definition in Hungarian locale
2312 ● Michael(tm) Smith: locale/nb.xml
2314 Corrected language code for nb locale, and restored missing "startquote" key.
2316 ● Michael(tm) Smith: locale/ja.xml
2318 Committed changes to ja locale file, from Akagi Kobayashi. Adds bracket quotes around many xref instances that did not have them
2321 ● Michael(tm) Smith: Makefile
2323 "no" locale is now "nb"
2325 ● Michael(tm) Smith: locale/nb.xml
2327 Update Norwegian Bokmål translation. Thanks to Hans F. Nordhaug.
2329 ● Michael(tm) Smith: locale/no.xml; locale/nb.xml
2331 per message from Hans F. Nordhaug, correct identifier for
2332 Norwegian Bokmål is "nb" (not "no") and has been for quite some
2335 ● Michael(tm) Smith: locale/ja.xml
2337 Converted ja.xml source file to use real unicode characters so
2338 that the actual glyphs so up when you edit it in a text editor
2339 (instead of the character references).
2341 ● Michael(tm) Smith: locale/ja.xml
2343 Checked in changes to ja.xml locale file. Thanks to Akagi Kobayashi.
2345 ● Michael(tm) Smith: locale/it.xml
2347 Changes from Federico Zenith
2349 ● Dongsheng Song: locale/zh_cn.xml
2351 Added missing translations.
2355 The following changes have been made to the common code since the 1.73.2
2358 ● Michael(tm) Smith: l10n.xsl
2360 Added new template "l10.language.name" for retrieving the
2361 English-language name of the lang setting of the current document.
2362 Closes #1916837. Thanks to Simon Kennedy.
2364 ● Michael(tm) Smith: refentry.xsl
2368 ● Michael(tm) Smith: refentry.xsl
2370 fixed a couple of typos
2372 ● Michael(tm) Smith: refentry.xsl
2374 refined handling of cases where refentry "source" or "manual"
2375 metadata is missing or when we use fallback content instead. We
2376 now report a Warning if we use fallback content.
2378 ● Michael(tm) Smith: refentry.xsl
2380 don't use refmiscinfo@class=date value as fallback for refentry
2381 "source" or "manual" metadata fields
2383 ● Michael(tm) Smith: refentry.xsl
2385 Made reporting of missing refentry metadata more quiet:
2387 - we no longer report anything if usable-but-not-preferred
2388 metadata is found; we just quietly use whatever we manage to
2391 - we now only report missing "source" metadata if the refentry
2392 is missing BOTH "source name" and "version" metadata; if it
2393 has one but not the other, we use whichever one it has and
2394 don't report anything as missing
2396 The above changes were made because testing with some "real world"
2397 source reveals that some authors are intentionally choosing to use
2398 "non preferred" markup for some metadata, and also choosing to
2399 omit "source name" or "version" metadata in there DocBook XML. So
2400 it does no good to give them pedantic reminders about what they
2403 Also, changed code to cause "fixme" text to be inserted in output
2404 in particular cases:
2406 - if we can't manage to find any "source" metadata at all, we
2407 now put fixme text into the output
2409 - if we can't manage to find any "manual" metadata a all, we
2410 now put fixme text into the output
2412 The "source" and "manual" metadata is necessary information, so
2413 buy putting the fixme stuff in the output, we alert users to the
2414 need problem of it being missing.
2416 ● Michael(tm) Smith: refentry.xsl
2418 When generating manpages output, we no longer report anything if
2419 the refentry source is missing date or pubdate content. In
2420 practice, many users intentionally omit the date from the source
2421 because they explicitly want it to be generated.
2423 ● Michael(tm) Smith: l10n.xml
2425 further change needed for switch from no locale to nb.
2427 ● Michael(tm) Smith: common.xsl
2429 Added support for orgname in authorgroup. Thanks to Camille
2432 ● Michael(tm) Smith: Makefile
2434 "no" locale is now "nb"
2436 ● Mauritz Jeanson: stripns.xsl
2438 Removed the template matching "ng:link|db:link" (in order to make @xlink:show
2439 work with <link> elements). As far as I can tell, this template is no longer needed.
2441 ● Mauritz Jeanson: entities.ent
2443 Moved declaration of comment.block.parents entity to common/entities.ent.
2445 ● Mauritz Jeanson: titles.xsl
2447 Added an update the fix made in revision 7528 (handling of xref/link in no.anchor.mode mode).
2448 Having xref in title is not a problem as long as the target is not an ancestor element.
2449 Closes bug #1838136.
2451 Note that an xref that is in a title and whose target is an ancestor element is still not
2452 rendered in the TOC. This could be considered a bug, but on the other hand I cannot really
2453 see the point in having such an xref in a document.
2455 ● Mauritz Jeanson: titles.xsl
2457 Added a "not(ancestor::title)" test to work around "too many nested
2458 apply-templates" problems when processing xrefs or links in no.anchor.mode mode.
2459 Hopefully, this closes bug #1811721.
2461 ● Mauritz Jeanson: titles.xsl
2463 Removed old template matching "link" in no.anchor.mode mode.
2465 ● Mauritz Jeanson: titles.xsl
2467 Process <link> in no.anchor.mode mode with the same template as <xref>.
2468 Closes bug #1759205 (Empty link in no.anchor.mode mode).
2470 ● Mauritz Jeanson: titles.xsl
2472 In no.anchor.mode mode, do not output anchors for elements that are descendants
2473 of <title>. Previously, having inline elements with @id/@xml:id in <title>s
2474 resulted in anchors both in the TOC and in the main flow. Closes bug #1797492.
2478 The following changes have been made to the fo code since the 1.73.2 release.
2480 ● Mauritz Jeanson: pi.xsl
2482 Updated documentation for keep-together.
2484 ● Mauritz Jeanson: task.xsl

2495 Add fop1 to list of processors using inline.or.block.
2497 ● Mauritz Jeanson: table.xsl
2499 Fixed bug #1891965 (colsep in entytbl not working).
2501 ● Mauritz Jeanson: titlepage.xsl
2503 Added support for title in revhistory. Closes bug #1842847.

2515 Added modifications to support nested set elements. See bug #1853172.
2517 ● David Cramer: glossary.xsl
2519 Added normalize-space to xsl:sorts to avoid missorting of glossterms due to stray leading spaces.
2521 ● David Cramer: glossary.xsl
2523 Fixed bug #1854199: glossary.xsl should use the sortas attribute on glossentry
2525 ● Mauritz Jeanson: inline.xsl
2527 Added a template for citebiblioid. The hyperlink target is the parent of the referenced biblioid,
2528 and the "hot text" is the biblioid itself enclosed in brackets.
2530 ● Mauritz Jeanson: inline.xsl
2532 Moved declaration of comment.block.parents entity to common/entities.ent.
2534 ● Mauritz Jeanson: docbook.xsl
2536 Updated message about unmatched element.
2538 ● Mauritz Jeanson: param.xweb
2540 Added link to profiling chapter of TCG.
2542 ● Mauritz Jeanson: refentry.xsl

2548 Added test to check generate.index param when generating pdf bookmarks
2550 ● Mauritz Jeanson: graphics.xsl
2552 Added support for MathML in imagedata.
2554 ● Michael(tm) Smith: math.xsl
2556 Removed unnecessary extra test condition in test express that
2557 checks for passivetex.
2559 ● Michael(tm) Smith: math.xsl
2561 Don't use fo:instream-foreign-object if we are processing with
2562 passivetex. Closes #1806899. Thanks to Justus Piater.
2564 ● Mauritz Jeanson: component.xsl
2566 Added code to output a TOC for an appendix in an article when
2567 generate.toc='article/appendix toc'. Closes bug #1669658.
2569 ● Dongsheng Song: biblio-iso690.xsl
2571 Change encoding from "windows-1250" to "UTF-8".
2573 ● Mauritz Jeanson: pi.xsl

2587 Complete support for <?dbfo pgwide="1"?> for informal
2590 ● Mauritz Jeanson: table.xsl
2592 In the table.block template, added a check for the dbfo_keep-together PI, so that
2593 a table may break (depending on the PI value) at a page break. This was needed
2594 since the outer fo:block that surrounds fo:table has keep-together.within-column="always"
2595 by default, which prevents the table from breaking. Closes bug #1740964 (Titled
2596 table does not respect dbfo PI).
2598 ● Mauritz Jeanson: pi.xsl
2600 Added a few missing @role="tcg".
2602 ● Mauritz Jeanson: inline.xsl
2604 Use normalize-space() in glossterm comparisons (as in html/inline.xsl).
2606 ● Mauritz Jeanson: autoidx.xsl
2608 Removed the [&scope;] predicate from the target variable in the template with name="reference".
2609 This filter was the cause of missing index backlinks when @zone and @type were used on indexterms,
2610 with index.on.type=1. Closes bug #1680836.
2612 ● Michael(tm) Smith: inline.xsl; xref.xsl; footnote.xsl
2614 Added capability in FO output for displaying URLs for all
2615 hyperlinks (elements marked up with xlink:href attributes) in the
2616 same way as URLs for ulinks are already handled (which is to say,
2617 either inline or as numbered footnotes).
2619 Background on this change:
2620 DocBook 5 allows "ubiquitous" linking, which means you can make
2621 any element a hyperlink just by adding an xlink:href attribute to
2622 it, with the value set to an external URL. That's in contrast to
2623 DocBook 4, which only allows you to use specific elements (e.g.,
2624 the link and ulink elements) to mark up hyperlinks.
2626 The existing FO stylesheets have a mechanism for handling display
2627 of URLs for hyperlinks that are marked up with ulink, but they did
2628 not handle display of URLs for elements that were marked up with
2629 xlink:href attributes. This change adds handling for those other
2630 elements, enabling the URLs they link to be displayed either
2631 inline or as numbered footnotes (depending on what values the user
2632 has the ulink.show and ulink.footnotes params set to).
2634 Note that this change only adds URL display support for elements
2635 that call the simple.xlink template -- which currently is most
2636 (but not all) inline elements.
2638 This change also moves the URL display handling out of the ulink
2639 template and into a new "hyperlink.url.display" named template;
2640 the ulink template and the simple.xlink named template now both
2641 call the hyperlink.url.display template.
2643 Warning: In the stylesheet code that determines what footnote
2644 number to assign to each footnote or external hyperlink, there is
2645 an XPath expression for determining whether a particular
2646 xlink:href instance is an external hyperlink; that expression is
2647 necessarily a bit complicated and further testing may reveal that
2648 it doesn't handle all cases as expected -- so some refinements to
2649 it may need to be done later.
2651 Closes #1785519. Thanks to Ken Morse for reporting and
2652 troubleshooting the problem.
2656 The following changes have been made to the html code since the 1.73.2 release.
2658 ● Keith Fahlgren: inline.xsl; synop.xsl
2660 Work to make HTML and XHTML targets more valid
2662 ● Keith Fahlgren: table.xsl
2664 Add better handling for tables that have footnotes in the titles
2666 ● Keith Fahlgren: biblio.xsl
2668 Add anchors to bibliodivs
2670 ● Keith Fahlgren: formal.xsl; Makefile; htmltbl.xsl
2672 Initial checkin/merge of epub target from work provided by Paul Norton of Adobe
2673 and Keith Fahlgren of O'Reilly.
2675 This change includes new code for generating the XHTML 1.1 target sanely.
2677 ● Mauritz Jeanson: biblio.xsl
2679 Added code for creating URLs from biblioids with @class="doi" (representing Digital
2680 Object Identifiers). See FR #1934434 and http://doi.org.
2682 To do: 1) Add support for FO output. 2) Figure out how @class="doi" should be handled
2683 for bibliorelation, bibliosource and citebiblioid.
2685 ● Norman Walsh: formal.xsl
2687 Don't use xsl:copy because it forces the resulting element to be in the same namespace as the source element; in the XHTML stylesheets, that's wrong. But the HTML-to-XHTML converter does the right thing with literal result elements, so use one of them.
2689 ● Michael(tm) Smith: Makefile
2691 Added checks and hacks to various makefiles to enable building
2692 under Cygwin. This stuff is ugly and maybe not worth the mess and
2693 trouble, but does seem to work as expected and not break anything
2696 ● Michael(tm) Smith: docbook.xsl
2698 added "exslt" namespace binding to html/docbook.xsl file (in
2699 addition to existing "exsl" binding. reason is because lack of it
2700 seems to cause processing problems when using the profiled
2701 version of the stylsheet
2703 ● Norman Walsh: chunk-common.xsl
2707 ● Mauritz Jeanson: table.xsl
2709 Added a fix to make rowsep apply to the last row of thead in entrytbl.
2711 ● Michael(tm) Smith: synop.xsl
2713 Simplified and streamlined handling of output for ANSI-style
2714 funcprototype output, to correct a problem that was causing type
2715 data to be lost in the output parameter definitions. For example,
2716 for an instance like this:
2717 <paramdef>void *<parameter>dataptr</parameter>[]</paramdef>
2718 ... the brackets (indicating an array type) were being dropped.
2720 ● Michael(tm) Smith: synop.xsl
2722 Changed HTML handling of K&R-style paramdef output. The parameter
2723 definitions are no longer output in a table (though the prototype
2724 still is). The reason for the change is that the
2725 kr-tabular-funcsynopsis-mode template was causing type data to be
2726 lost in the output parameter definitions. For example, for an
2728 <paramdef>void *<parameter>dataptr</parameter>[]</paramdef>
2729 ... the brackets (indicating an array type) were being dropped.
2730 The easiest way to deal with the problem is to not try to chop up
2731 the parameter definitions and display them in table format, but to
2732 instead just output them as-is. May not look quite as pretty, but
2733 at least we can be sure no information is being lost...
2735 ● Michael(tm) Smith: pi.xsl
2737 updated wording of doc for funcsynopsis-style PI
2739 ● Michael(tm) Smith: param.xweb; param.ent; synop.xsl
2741 Removed the funcsynopsis.tabular.threshold param. It's no longer
2742 being used in the code and hasn't been since mid 2006.
2744 ● Mauritz Jeanson: graphics.xsl
2746 Added support for the img.src.path parameter for SVG graphics. Closes bug #1888169.
2748 ● Mauritz Jeanson: chunk-common.xsl
2750 Added missing space.
2752 ● Norman Walsh: component.xsl
2754 Fix bug where component titles inside info elements were not handled properly
2756 ● Michael(tm) Smith: pi.xsl
2758 Moved dbhtml_stop-chunking embedded doc into alphabetical order,
2759 fixed text of TCG section it see-also'ed.
2761 ● David Cramer: pi.xsl
2763 Added support for <?dbhtml stop-chunking?> processing instruction
2765 ● David Cramer: chunk-common.xsl; pi.xsl
2767 Added support for <?dbhtml stop-chunking?> processing instruction
2769 ● David Cramer: glossary.xsl
2771 Fixed bug #1854199: glossary.xsl should use the sortas attribute on glossentry. Also added normalize-space to avoid missorting due to stray leading spaces.
2773 ● Mauritz Jeanson: inline.xsl
2775 Added a template for citebiblioid. The hyperlink target is the parent of the referenced biblioid,
2776 and the "hot text" is the biblioid itself enclosed in brackets.
2778 ● Mauritz Jeanson: inline.xsl
2780 Added support for @xlink:show in the simple.xlink template. The "new" and "replace"
2781 values are supported (corresponding to values of "_blank" and "_top" for the
2782 ulink.target parameter). I have assumed that @xlink:show should override ulink.target
2783 for external URI links. This closes bugs #1762023 and #1727498.
2785 ● Mauritz Jeanson: inline.xsl
2787 Moved declaration of comment.block.parents entity to common/entities.ent.
2789 ● Mauritz Jeanson: param.xweb
2791 Added link to profiling chapter of TCG.
2793 ● Dongsheng Song: biblio-iso690.xsl
2795 Change encoding from "windows-1250" to "UTF-8".
2797 ● Robert Stayton: biblio.xsl
2799 Add support in biblio collection to entries in bibliodivs.
2801 ● Mauritz Jeanson: pi.xsl
2803 Added missing @role="tcg".
2805 ● Mauritz Jeanson: chunk-common.xsl; titlepage.xsl
2807 Refactored legalnotice/revhistory chunking, so that the use.id.as.filename
2808 parameter as well as the dbhtml_filename PI are taken into account. A new named
2809 template in titlepage.xsl is used to compute the filename.
2811 ● Mauritz Jeanson: chunk-common.xsl; titlepage.xsl
2813 An update to the fix for bug #1790495 (r7433):
2814 The "ln-" prefix is output only when the legalnotice doesn't have an
2815 @id/@xml:id, in which case the stylesheets generate an ID value,
2816 resulting in a filename like "ln-7e0fwgj.html". This is useful because
2817 without the prefix, you wouldn't know that the file contained a legalnotice.
2818 The same logic is also applied to revhistory, using an "rh-" prefix.
2820 ● Mauritz Jeanson: autoidx.xsl
2822 Removed the [&scope;] predicate from the target variable in the template with name="reference".
2823 This filter was the cause of missing index backlinks when @zone and @type were used on indexterms,
2824 with index.on.type=1. Closes bug #1680836.
2826 ● Mauritz Jeanson: titlepage.xsl
2828 Added 'ln-' prefix to the name of the legalnotice chunk, in order to match the
2829 <link href"..."> that is output by make.legalnotice.head.links (chunk-common.xsl).
2830 Modified the href attribute on the legalnotice link.
2831 Closes bug #1790495.
2835 The following changes have been made to the manpages code since the 1.73.2
2838 ● Michael(tm) Smith: other.xsl
2840 slightly adjusted spacing around admonition markers
2842 ● Michael(tm) Smith: refentry.xsl; utility.xsl
2844 make sure refsect3 titles are preceded by a line of space, and
2845 make the indenting of their child content less severe
2847 ● Michael(tm) Smith: block.xsl
2849 only indent verbatim environments in TTY output, not in non-TTY/PS
2851 ● Michael(tm) Smith: block.xsl
2853 made another adjustment to correct vertical alignment of admonition marker
2855 ● Michael(tm) Smith: block.xsl; other.xsl
2857 Adjusted/corrected alignment of adominition marker in PS/non-TTY output.
2859 ● Michael(tm) Smith: endnotes.xsl
2861 For PS/non-TTY output, display footnote/endnote numbers in
2864 ● Michael(tm) Smith: table.xsl; synop.xsl; utility.xsl
2866 Changed handling of hanging indents for cmdsynopsis, funcsynopsis,
2867 and synopfragment such that they now look correct in non-TTY/PS
2868 output. We now use the groff \w escape to hang by the actual width
2869 -- in the current font -- of the command, funcdef, or
2870 synopfragment references number (as opposed to hanging by the
2871 number of characters). This rendering in TTY output remains the
2872 same, since the width in monospaced TTY output is the same as the
2873 number of characters.
2875 Also, created new synopsis-block-start and synopsis-block-end
2876 templates to use for cmdsynopsis and funcsynopsis instead of the
2877 corresponding verbatim-* templates.
2879 Along with those changes, also corrected a problem that caused the
2880 content of synopfragment to be dropped, and made a
2881 vertical-spacing change to adjust spacing around table titles and
2882 among sibling synopfragment instances.
2884 ● Michael(tm) Smith: other.xsl
2886 use common l10.language.name template to retrieve English-language name
2888 ● Michael(tm) Smith: synop.xsl; inline.xsl
2890 added comment in code explaining why we don't put filename output
2891 in italic (despite the fact that man guidelines say we should)
2893 ● Michael(tm) Smith: inline.xsl
2895 put filename output in monospace instead of italic
2897 ● Michael(tm) Smith: synop.xsl
2899 put cmdsynopsis in monospace
2901 ● Michael(tm) Smith: inline.xsl
2903 removed template match for literal. template matches for monospace
2904 inlines are all imported from the HTML stylesheet
2906 ● Michael(tm) Smith: block.xsl
2908 don't indent verbatim environments that are descendants of
2909 refsynopsisdiv, not put backgrounds behind them
2911 ● Michael(tm) Smith: inline.xsl
2913 set output of the literal element in monospace. this causes all
2914 inline monospace instances in the git man pages to be set in
2915 monospace (since DocBook XML source for git docs is generated with
2916 asciidoc and asciidoc consistently outputs only <literal> for
2917 inline monospace (not <command> or <code> or anything else).
2918 Of course this only affects non-TTY output...
2920 ● Michael(tm) Smith: utility.xsl
2922 Added inline.monoseq named template.
2924 ● Michael(tm) Smith: utility.xsl
2926 don't bother using a custom register to store the previous
2927 font-family value when setting blocks of text in code font; just
2928 use \F[] .fam with no arg to switch back
2930 ● Michael(tm) Smith: endnotes.xsl
2932 put links in blue in PS output (note that this matches how groff
2933 renders content marked up with the .URL macro)
2935 ● Michael(tm) Smith: endnotes.xsl; param.xweb; param.ent
2937 removed man.links.are.underlined and added man.font.links. Also,
2938 changed the default font formatting for links to bold.
2940 ● Michael(tm) Smith: endnotes.xsl; param.xweb; param.ent
2942 Added new param man.base.url.for.relative.links .. specifies a
2943 base URL for relative links (for ulink, @xlink:href, imagedata,
2944 audiodata, videodata) shown in the generated NOTES section of
2945 man-page output. The value of man.base.url.for.relative.links is
2946 prepended to any relative URI that is a value of ulink url,
2947 xlink:href, or fileref attribute.
2949 If you use relative URIs in link sources in your DocBook refentry
2950 source, and you leave man.base.url.for.relative.links unset, the
2951 relative links will appear "as is" in the NOTES section of any
2952 man-page output generated from your source. That's probably not
2953 what you want, because such relative links are only usable in the
2954 context of HTML output. So, to make the links meaningful and
2955 usable in the context of man-page output, set a value for
2956 man.base.url.for.relative.links that points
2957 to the online version of HTML output generated from your DocBook
2958 refentry source. For example:
2960 <xsl:param name="man.base.url.for.relative.links"
2961 >http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/</xsl:param>
2963 ● Michael(tm) Smith: info.xsl
2965 If a source refentry contains a Documentation or DOCUMENTATION
2966 section, don't report it as having missing AUTHOR information.
2967 Also, if missing a contrib/personblurb for a person or org, report
2968 pointers to http://docbook.sf.net/el/personblurb and to
2969 http://docbook.sf.net/el/contrib
2971 ● Michael(tm) Smith: info.xsl
2973 If we encounter an author|editor|othercredit instance that lacks a
2974 personblurb or contrib, report it to the user (because that means
2975 we have no information about that author|editor|othercredit to
2976 display in the generated AUTHOR|AUTHORS section...)
2978 ● Michael(tm) Smith: info.xsl; docbook.xsl; other.xsl
2980 if we can't find any usable author data, emit a warning and insert
2981 a fixme in the output
2983 ● Michael(tm) Smith: info.xsl
2985 fixed bug in indenting of output for contrib instances in AUTHORS
2986 section. Thanks to Daniel Leidert and the fglrx docs for exposing
2989 ● Michael(tm) Smith: block.xsl
2991 for a para or simpara that is the first child of a callout,
2992 suppress the .sp or .PP that would normally be output (because in
2993 those cases, the output goes into a table cell, and the .sp or .PP
2994 markup causes a spurious linebreak before it when displayed
2996 ● Michael(tm) Smith: lists.xsl
2998 Added support for rendering co callouts and calloutlist instances.
2999 So you can now use simple callouts -- marking up programlisting
3000 and such with co instances -- and have the callouts displayed in
3001 man-page output. ("simple callouts" means using co@id and
3002 callout@arearefs pointing to co@id instances; in man/roff output,
3003 we can't/don't support markup that uses areaset and area)
3005 ● Michael(tm) Smith: block.xsl
3007 only put a line of space after a verbatim if it's followed by a
3008 text node or a paragraph
3010 ● Michael(tm) Smith: utility.xsl
3012 put verbatim environments in slightly smaller font in non-TTY
3015 ● Michael(tm) Smith: lists.xsl
3017 minor whitespace-only reformatting of lists.xsl source
3019 ● Michael(tm) Smith: lists.xsl
3021 Made refinements/fixes to output of orderedlist and itemizedlist
3022 -- in part, to get mysql man pages to display correctly. This
3023 change causes a "\c" continuation marker to be added between
3024 listitem markers and contents (to ensure that the content remains
3025 on the same line as the marker when displayed)
3027 ● Michael(tm) Smith: block.xsl
3029 put a line of vertical space after all verbatim output that has
3030 sibling content following it (not just if that sibling content is
3033 ● Michael(tm) Smith: block.xsl
3035 refined spacing around titles for admonitions
3037 ● Michael(tm) Smith: block.xsl; other.xsl
3039 Deal with case of verbatim environments that have a linebreak
3040 after the opening tag. Assumption is that users generally don't
3041 want that linebreak to appear in output, so we do some groff
3042 hackery to mess with vertical spacing and close the space.
3044 ● Michael(tm) Smith: inline.xsl
3046 indexterm instances now produce groff comments like this:
3048 .\" primary: secondary: tertiary
3050 remark instances, if non-empty, now produce groff comments
3052 ● Michael(tm) Smith: charmap.groff.xsl; other.xsl
3054 convert no-break space character to groff "\ \&" (instead of just
3055 "\ "). the reason is that if a space occurs at the end of a line,
3056 our processing causes it to be eaten. a real-world case of this is
3057 the mysql(1) man page. appending the "\&" prevents that
3059 ● Michael(tm) Smith: block.xsl
3061 output "sp" before simpara output, not after it (outputting it
3062 after results in undesirable whitespace in particular cases; for
3063 example, in the hg/mercurial docs
3065 ● Michael(tm) Smith: table.xsl; synop.xsl; utility.xsl
3067 renamed from title-preamble to pinch.together and replaced "sp -1"
3068 between synopsis fragments with call to pinch.together instead
3070 ● Michael(tm) Smith: table.xsl
3072 use title-preamble template for table titles (instead of "sp -1"
3073 hack), and "sp 1" after all tables (instead of just "sp"
3075 ● Michael(tm) Smith: utility.xsl
3077 created title-preamble template for suppressing line spacing after
3080 ● Michael(tm) Smith: info.xsl
3082 further refinement of indenting in AUTHORS section
3084 ● Michael(tm) Smith: block.xsl; other.xsl
3086 refined handling of admonitions
3088 ● Michael(tm) Smith: lists.xsl
3090 Use RS/RE in another place where we had IP ""
3092 ● Michael(tm) Smith: info.xsl
3094 Replace (ab)use of IP with "sp -1" in AUTHORS section with RS/RE
3097 ● Michael(tm) Smith: table.xsl; synop.xsl; info.xsl
3099 changed all instances of ".sp -1n" to ".sp -1"
3101 ● Michael(tm) Smith: other.xsl
3103 add extra line before SH heads only in non-TTY output
3105 ● Michael(tm) Smith: block.xsl
3107 Reworked output for admonitions (caution, important, note, tip,
3108 warning). In TTY output, admonitions now get indented. In non-TTY
3109 output, a colored marker (yellow) is displayed next to them.
3111 ● Michael(tm) Smith: other.xsl
3113 Added BM/EM macros for putting a colored marker in margin next to
3116 ● Michael(tm) Smith: utility.xsl
3118 created make.bold.title template by moving title-bolding part out
3119 from nested-section-title template. This allows the bolding to
3120 also be used by the template for formatting admonitions
3122 ● Michael(tm) Smith: info.xsl
3124 put .br before copyright contents to prevent them from getting run in
3126 ● Michael(tm) Smith: refentry.xsl; other.xsl; utility.xsl
3128 made point size of output for Refsect2 and Refsect3 heads bigger
3130 ● Michael(tm) Smith: other.xsl
3132 put slightly more space between SH head and underline in non-TTY
3135 ● Michael(tm) Smith: param.xweb; param.ent; other.xsl
3137 Added the man.charmap.subset.profile.english parameter and refined
3138 the handling of charmap subsets to differentiate between English
3139 and non-English source.
3141 This way charmap subsets are now handled is this:
3143 If the value of the man.charmap.use.subset parameter is non-zero,
3144 and your DocBook source is not written in English (that is, if its
3145 lang or xml:lang attribute has a value other than en), then the
3146 character-map subset specified by the man.charmap.subset.profile
3147 parameter is used instead of the full roff character map.
3149 Otherwise, if the lang or xml:lang attribute on the root element
3150 in your DocBook source or on the first refentry element in your
3151 source has the value en or if it has no lang or xml:lang
3152 attribute, then the character-map subset specified by the
3153 man.charmap.subset.profile.english parameter is used instead of
3154 man.charmap.subset.profile.
3156 The difference between the two subsets is that
3157 man.charmap.subset.profile provides mappings for characters in
3158 Western European languages that are not part of the Roman
3159 (English) alphabet (ASCII character set).
3161 ● Michael(tm) Smith: other.xsl
3163 Various updates, mainly related to uppercasing SH titles:
3165 - added a "Language: " metadata line to the top comment area of
3166 output man pages, to indicate the language the page is in
3168 - added a "toupper" macro of doing locale-aware uppercasing of
3169 SH titles and cross-references to SH titles; the mechanism
3170 relies on the uppercase.alpha and lowercase.alpha DocBook
3171 gentext keys to do locale-aware uppercasing based on the
3172 language the page is written in
3174 - added a "string.shuffle" template, which provides a library
3175 function for "shuffling" two strings together into a single
3176 string; it takes the first character for the first string, the
3177 first character from second string, etc. The only current use
3178 for it is to generate the argument for the groff tr request
3179 that does string uppercasing.
3181 - added make.tr.uppercase.arg and make.tr.normalcase.arg named
3182 templates for use in generating groff code for uppercasing and
3183 "normal"-casing SH titles
3185 - made the BB/BE "background drawing" macros have effect only in
3188 - output a few comments in the top part of source
3190 ● Michael(tm) Smith: utility.xsl
3192 removed some leftover kruft
3194 ● Michael(tm) Smith: refentry.xsl
3196 To create the name(s) for each man page, we now replace any spaces
3197 in the refname(s) with underscores. This ensures that tools like
3198 lexgrog(1) will be able to parse the name (lexgrog won't parse
3199 names that contain spaces).
3201 ● Michael(tm) Smith: docbook.xsl
3203 Put a comment into source of man page to indicate where the main
3204 content starts. (We now have a few of macro definitions at the
3205 start of the source, so putting this comment in helps those that
3206 might be viewing the source.)
3208 ● Michael(tm) Smith: refentry.xsl
3210 refined mechanism for generating SH titles
3212 ● Michael(tm) Smith: charmap.groff.xsl
3214 Added zcaron, Zcaron, scaron, and Scaron to the groff character map.
3215 This means that generated Finnish man pages will no longer contain
3216 any raw accented characters -- they'll instead by marked up with
3219 ● Michael(tm) Smith: other.xsl; utility.xsl
3221 corrected a regression I introduced about a year ago that caused
3222 dots to be output just as "\." -- instead needs to be "\&." (which
3223 is what it will be now, after this change)
3225 ● Michael(tm) Smith: refentry.xsl
3227 Changed backend handling for generating titles for SH sections and
3228 for cross-references to those sections. This should have no effect
3229 on TTY output (behavior should remain the same hopefully) but
3230 results in titles in normal case (instead of uppercase) in PS
3233 ● Michael(tm) Smith: info.xsl
3235 use make.subheading template to make subheadings for AUTHORS and
3236 COPYRIGHT sections (instead of harcoding roff markup)
3238 ● Michael(tm) Smith: block.xsl
3240 put code font around programlisting etc.
3242 ● Michael(tm) Smith: synop.xsl; docbook.xsl
3244 embed custom macro definitions in man pages, plus wrap synopsis in
3247 ● Michael(tm) Smith: endnotes.xsl
3249 use the make.subheading template to generated SH subheading for
3252 ● Michael(tm) Smith: lists.xsl
3254 Added some templates for generating if-then-else conditional
3255 markup in groff, so let's use those instead of hard-coding it in
3258 ● Michael(tm) Smith: other.xsl; utility.xsl
3260 Initial checkin of some changes related to making PS/PDF output
3261 from "man -l -Tps" look better. The current changes:
3263 - render synopsis and verbatim sections in a monospace/code font
3265 - put a light-grey background behind all programlisting, screen,
3266 and literallayout instances
3268 - prevent SH heads in PS output from being rendered in uppercase
3269 (as they are in console output)
3271 - also display xrefs to SH heads in PS output in normal case
3272 (instead of uppercase)
3274 - draw a line under SH heads in PS output
3276 The changes made to the code to support the above features were:
3278 - added some embedded/custom macros: one for conditionally
3279 upper-casing SH x-refs, one for redefining the SH macro
3280 itself, with some conditional handling for PS output, and
3281 finally a macro for putting a background/screen (filled box)
3282 around a block of text (e.g., a program listing) in PS output
3284 - added utility templates for wrapping blocks of text in code
3285 font; also templates for inline code font
3287 ● Robert Stayton: refentry.xsl
3289 refpurpose nodes now get apply-templates instead of just normalize-space().
3291 ● Michael(tm) Smith: lists.xsl
3293 Fixed alignment of first lined of text for each listitem in
3294 orderedlist output for TTY. Existing code seemed to have been
3295 causing an extra undesirable space to appear.
3297 ● Michael(tm) Smith: lists.xsl
3299 Wrapped some roff conditionals around roff markup for orderedlist
3300 and itemizedlist output, so that the lists look acceptable in PS
3301 output as well as TTY.
3303 ● Michael(tm) Smith: pi.xsl; synop.xsl; param.xweb; param.ent
3305 Added the man.funcsynopsis.style parameter. Has the same effect in
3306 manpages output as the funcsynopsis.style parameter has in HTML
3307 output -- except that its default value is 'ansi' instead of 'kr'.
3309 ● Michael(tm) Smith: synop.xsl
3311 Reworked handling of K&R funcprototype output. It no longer relies
3312 on the HTML kr-tabular templates, but instead just does direct
3313 transformation to roff. For K&R output, it displays the paramdef
3314 output in an indented list following the prototype.
3316 ● Michael(tm) Smith: synop.xsl
3318 Properly integrated handling for K&R output into manpages
3319 stylesheet. The choice between K&R output and ANSI output is
3320 currently controlled through use of the (HTML) funcsynopsis.style
3321 parameter. Note that because the mechanism does currently rely on
3322 funcsynopsis.style, the default in manpages output is now K&R
3323 (because that's the default of that param). But I suppose I ought
3324 to create a man.funcsynopsis.style and make the default for that
3325 ANSI (to preserve the existing default behavior).
3327 ● Michael(tm) Smith: docbook.xsl
3329 added manpages/pi.xsl file
3331 ● Michael(tm) Smith: .cvsignore; pi.xsl
3333 Added "dbman funcsynopsis-style" PI and incorporated it into the
3336 ● Michael(tm) Smith: refentry.xsl
3338 Fixed regression that caused an unescaped dash to be output
3339 between refname and refpurpose content. Closes bug #1894244.
3340 Thanks to Daniel Leidert.
3342 ● Michael(tm) Smith: other.xsl
3344 Fixed problem with dots being escaped in filenames of generated
3345 man files. Closes #1827195. Thanks to Daniel Leidert.
3347 ● Michael(tm) Smith: inline.xsl
3349 Added support for processing structfield (was appearing in roff
3350 output surrounded by HTML <em> tags; fixed so that it gets roff
3351 ital markup). Closes bug #1858329. Thanks to Sam Varshavchik.
3355 The following changes have been made to the epub code since the 1.73.2 release.
3357 ● Keith Fahlgren: bin/spec/README; bin/spec/epub_realbook_spec.rb
3359 'Realbook' spec now passes
3361 ● Keith Fahlgren: bin/dbtoepub; README; bin/spec/README; bin/lib/docbook.rb;
3364 Very primitive Windows support for dbtoepub reference implementation; README for running tests and for the .epub target in general; shorter realbook test document (still fails for now)
3366 ● Keith Fahlgren: bin/dbtoepub; bin/spec/epub_regressions_spec.rb; bin/lib/
3369 Changes to OPF spine to not duplicate idrefs for documents with parts not at the root; regression specs for same
3371 ● Keith Fahlgren: docbook.xsl

3429 The following changes have been made to the htmlhelp code since the 1.73.2
3432 ● Mauritz Jeanson: htmlhelp-common.xsl
3434 Added <xsl:with-param name="quiet" select="$chunk.quietly"/> to calls to
3435 the write.chunk, write.chunk.with.doctype, and write.text.chunk templates.
3436 This makes chunk.quietly=1 suppress chunk filename messages also for help
3437 support files (which seems to be what one would expect). See bug #1648360.
3441 The following changes have been made to the eclipse code since the 1.73.2
3444 ● David Cramer: eclipse.xsl
3446 Use sortas attributes (if they exist) when sorting indexterms

3455 to helpidx template.
3457 ● David Cramer: eclipse.xsl
3459 Generate index.xml file and add related goo to plugin.xml file. Does not yet support see and seealso.
3461 ● Mauritz Jeanson: eclipse.xsl
3463 Added <xsl:with-param name="quiet" select="$chunk.quietly"/> to calls to
3464 the write.chunk, write.chunk.with.doctype, and write.text.chunk templates.
3465 This makes chunk.quietly=1 suppress chunk filename messages also for help
3466 support files (which seems to be what one would expect). See bug #1648360.
3470 The following changes have been made to the javahelp code since the 1.73.2
3473 ● Mauritz Jeanson: javahelp.xsl
3475 Added <xsl:with-param name="quiet" select="$chunk.quietly"/> to calls to
3476 the write.chunk, write.chunk.with.doctype, and write.text.chunk templates.
3477 This makes chunk.quietly=1 suppress chunk filename messages also for help
3478 support files (which seems to be what one would expect). See bug #1648360.
3482 The following changes have been made to the roundtrip code since the 1.73.2

3541 Added support file. Added style locking. Conversion bug fixes.
3545 The following changes have been made to the slides code since the 1.73.2
3548 ● Michael(tm) Smith: fo/Makefile; html/Makefile
3550 Added checks and hacks to various makefiles to enable building
3551 under Cygwin. This stuff is ugly and maybe not worth the mess and
3552 trouble, but does seem to work as expected and not break anything
3555 ● Jirka Kosek: html/plain.xsl
3557 Added support for showing foil number
3561 The following changes have been made to the website code since the 1.73.2
3564 ● Michael(tm) Smith: extensions/saxon64/.classes/.gitignore; extensions/
3565 xalan2/.classes/com/⋯
3567 renamed a bunch more .cvsignore files to .gitignore (to facilitate use of git-svn)
3571 The following changes have been made to the params code since the 1.73.2
3574 ● Keith Fahlgren: epub.autolabel.xml
3576 New parameter for epub, epub.autolabel
3578 ● Mauritz Jeanson: table.frame.border.color.xml; table.cell.padding.xml;
3579 table.cell.border.t⋯
3581 Added missing refpurposes and descriptions.
3583 ● Keith Fahlgren: ade.extensions.xml
3585 Extensions to support Adobe Digital Editions extensions in .epub output.
3587 ● Mauritz Jeanson: fop.extensions.xml; fop1.extensions.xml
3589 Clarified that fop1.extensions is for FOP 0.90 and later. Version 1 is not here yet...
3591 ● Michael(tm) Smith: man.links.are.underlined.xml;
3592 man.endnotes.list.enabled.xml; man.font.l⋯
3594 removed man.links.are.underlined and added man.font.links. Also,
3595 changed the default font formatting for links to bold.
3597 ● Michael(tm) Smith: man.base.url.for.relative.links.xml
3599 Added new param man.base.url.for.relative.links .. specifies a
3600 base URL for relative links (for ulink, @xlink:href, imagedata,
3601 audiodata, videodata) shown in the generated NOTES section of
3602 man-page output. The value of man.base.url.for.relative.links is
3603 prepended to any relative URI that is a value of ulink url,
3604 xlink:href, or fileref attribute.
3606 If you use relative URIs in link sources in your DocBook refentry
3607 source, and you leave man.base.url.for.relative.links unset, the
3608 relative links will appear "as is" in the NOTES section of any
3609 man-page output generated from your source. That's probably not
3610 what you want, because such relative links are only usable in the
3611 context of HTML output. So, to make the links meaningful and
3612 usable in the context of man-page output, set a value for
3613 man.base.url.for.relative.links that points
3614 to the online version of HTML output generated from your DocBook
3615 refentry source. For example:
3617 <xsl:param name="man.base.url.for.relative.links"
3618 >http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/</xsl:param>
3620 ● Michael(tm) Smith: man.string.subst.map.xml
3622 squeeze .sp\n.sp into a single .sp (to prevent a extra, spurious
3623 line of whitespace from being inserted after programlisting etc.
3626 ● Michael(tm) Smith: refentry.manual.fallback.profile.xml;
3627 refentry.source.fallback.profile.⋯
3629 don't use refmiscinfo@class=date value as fallback for refentry
3630 "source" or "manual" metadata fields
3632 ● Michael(tm) Smith: man.charmap.subset.profile.xml; man.charmap.enabled.xml;
3635 made some further doc tweaks related to the
3636 man.charmap.subset.profile.english param
3638 ● Michael(tm) Smith: man.charmap.subset.profile.xml; man.charmap.enabled.xml;
3641 Added the man.charmap.subset.profile.english parameter and refined
3642 the handling of charmap subsets to differentiate between English
3643 and non-English source.
3645 This way charmap subsets are now handled is this:
3647 If the value of the man.charmap.use.subset parameter is non-zero,
3648 and your DocBook source is not written in English (that is, if its
3649 lang or xml:lang attribute has a value other than en), then the
3650 character-map subset specified by the man.charmap.subset.profile
3651 parameter is used instead of the full roff character map.
3653 Otherwise, if the lang or xml:lang attribute on the root element
3654 in your DocBook source or on the first refentry element in your
3655 source has the value en or if it has no lang or xml:lang
3656 attribute, then the character-map subset specified by the
3657 man.charmap.subset.profile.english parameter is used instead of
3658 man.charmap.subset.profile.
3660 The difference between the two subsets is that
3661 man.charmap.subset.profile provides mappings for characters in
3662 Western European languages that are not part of the Roman
3663 (English) alphabet (ASCII character set).
3665 ● Michael(tm) Smith: man.charmap.subset.profile.xml
3667 Added to default charmap used by manpages:
3669 - the "letters" part of the 'C1 Controls And Latin-1 Supplement
3670 (Latin-1 Supplement)' Unicode block
3671 - Latin Extended-A block (but not all of the characters from
3672 that block have mappings in groff, so some of them are still
3673 passed through as-is)
3675 The effects of this change are that in man pages generated for
3676 most Western European languages and for Finnish, all characters
3677 not part of the Roman alphabet are (e.g., "accented" characters)
3678 are converted to groff escapes.
3680 Previously, by default we passed through those characters as is
3681 (and users needed to use the full charmap if they wanted to have
3682 those characters converted).
3684 As a result of this change, man pages generated for Western
3685 European languages will be viewable in some environments in which
3686 they are not viewable if the "raw" non-Roman characters are in them.
3688 ● Mauritz Jeanson: generate.legalnotice.link.xml;
3689 generate.revhistory.link.xml
3691 Added information on how the filename is computed.
3693 ● Mauritz Jeanson: default.table.width.xml
3697 ● Michael(tm) Smith: man.funcsynopsis.style.xml
3699 Added the man.funcsynopsis.style parameter. Has the same effect in
3700 manpages output as the funcsynopsis.style parameter has in HTML
3701 output -- except that its default value is 'ansi' instead of 'kr'.
3703 ● Michael(tm) Smith: funcsynopsis.tabular.threshold.xml
3705 Removed the funcsynopsis.tabular.threshold param. It's no longer
3706 being used in the code and hasn't been since mid 2006.
3708 ● Mauritz Jeanson: table.properties.xml
3710 Set keep-together.within-column to "auto". This seems to be the most sensible
3711 default value for tables.
3713 ● Mauritz Jeanson: informal.object.properties.xml;
3714 admon.graphics.extension.xml; informalequ⋯
3716 Several small documentation fixes.
3718 ● Mauritz Jeanson: manifest.in.base.dir.xml
3722 ● Mauritz Jeanson: header.content.properties.xml;
3723 footer.content.properties.xml
3727 ● Mauritz Jeanson: ulink.footnotes.xml; ulink.show.xml
3729 Updated for DocBook 5.
3731 ● Mauritz Jeanson: index.method.xml; glossterm.auto.link.xml
3733 Spelling and wording fixes.
3735 ● Mauritz Jeanson: callout.graphics.extension.xml
3737 Clarifed available graphics formats and extensions.
3739 ● Mauritz Jeanson: footnote.sep.leader.properties.xml
3741 Corrected refpurpose.
3743 ● Jirka Kosek: footnote.properties.xml
3745 Added more properties which make it possible to render correctly footnotes placed inside verbatim elements.
3747 ● Mauritz Jeanson: img.src.path.xml
3749 img.src.path works with inlinegraphic too.
3751 ● Mauritz Jeanson: saxon.character.representation.xml
3755 ● Mauritz Jeanson: img.src.path.xml
3757 Updated description of img.src.path. Bug #1785224 revealed that
3758 there was a risk of misunderstanding how it works.
3762 The following changes have been made to the profiling code since the 1.73.2
3765 ● Jirka Kosek: xsl2profile.xsl
3767 Added new rules to profile all content generated by HTML Help (including alias files)
3769 ● Robert Stayton: profile-mode.xsl
3771 use mode="profile" instead of xsl:copy-of for attributes so
3772 they can be more easily customized.
3776 The following changes have been made to the tools code since the 1.73.2
3779 ● Michael(tm) Smith: make/Makefile.DocBook
3781 various changes and additions to support making with asciidoc as
3784 ● Michael(tm) Smith: make/Makefile.DocBook
3786 make dblatex the default PDF maker for the example makefile
3788 ● Michael(tm) Smith: xsl/build/html2roff.xsl
3790 Reworked handling of K&R funcprototype output. It no longer relies
3791 on the HTML kr-tabular templates, but instead just does direct
3792 transformation to roff. For K&R output, it displays the paramdef
3793 output in an indented list following the prototype.
3795 ● Mauritz Jeanson: xsl/build/make-xsl-params.xsl
3797 Made attribute-sets members of the param list. This enables links to attribute-sets in the
3798 reference documentation.
3800 ● Michael(tm) Smith: xsl/build/html2roff.xsl
3802 use .BI handling in K&R funsynopsis output for manpages, just as
3803 we do already of ANSI output
3805 ● Michael(tm) Smith: xsl/build/html2roff.xsl
3807 Implemented initial support for handling tabular K&R output of
3808 funcprototype in manpages output. Accomplished by adding more
3809 templates to the intermediate HTML-to-roff stylesheet that the
3810 build uses to create the manpages/html-synop.xsl stylesheet.
3812 ● Michael(tm) Smith: xsl/build/doc-link-docbook.xsl
3814 Made the xsl/tools/xsl/build/doc-link-docbook.xsl stylesheet
3815 import profile-docbook.xsl, so that we can do profiling of release
3816 notes. Corrected some problems in the target for the release-notes
3821 The following changes have been made to the extensions code since the 1.73.2
3824 ● Keith Fahlgren: Makefile
3826 Use DOCBOOK_SVN variable everywhere, please; build with PDF_MAKER

3891 Some unnecessary semicolons removed.
3893 ● Mauritz Jeanson: python/xslt.py
3895 Added a function that quotes parameter values (to ensure that they are interpreted as strings).
3896 Replaced deprecated functions from the string module with string methods.
3898 ● Michael(tm) Smith: python/README; python/README.LIBXSLT
3900 renamed xsl-libxslt/python/README to xsl-libxslt/python/README.LIBXSLT
3902 ● Mauritz Jeanson: python/README
3904 Tweaked the text a little.
3906 Release Notes: 1.73.2
3908 This is solely a minor bug-fix update to the 1.73.1 release. It fixes a
3909 packaging error in the 1.73.1 package, as well as a bug in footnote handling in
3914 This is mostly a bug-fix update to the 1.73.0 release.

3933 ● Mauritz Jeanson: table.xsl
3935 Modified the tgroup template so that, for tables with multiple tgroups,
3936 a width attribute is output on all corresponding fo:tables. Previously,
3937 there was a test prohibiting this (and a comment saying that outputting more
3938 than one width attribute will cause an error). But this seems to be no longer
3939 relevant; it is not a problem with FOP 0.93 or XEP 4.10. Closes bug #1760559.
3941 ● Mauritz Jeanson: graphics.xsl
3943 Replaced useless <a> elements with warning messages (textinsert extension).
3945 ● Mauritz Jeanson: admon.xsl
3947 Enabled generation of ids (on fo:wrapper) for indexterms in admonition titles, so that page
3948 references in the index can be created. Closes bug #1775086.
3952 The following changes have been made to the html code since the 1.73.0 release.
3954 ● Mauritz Jeanson: titlepage.xsl
3956 Added <xsl:call-template name="process.footnotes"/> to abstract template
3957 so that footnotes in info/abstract are processed. Closes bug #1760907.
3959 ● Michael(tm) Smith: pi.xsl; synop.xsl
3961 Changed handling of HTML output for the cmdsynopsis and
3962 funcsynopsis elements, such that a@id instances are generated for
3963 them if they are descendants of any element containing a dbcmdlist
3964 or dbfunclist PI. Also, update the embedded reference docs for the
3965 dbcmdlist and dbfunclist PIs to make it clear that they can be
3966 used within any element for which cmdsynopsis or funcsynopsis are
3969 ● Michael(tm) Smith: formal.xsl
3971 Reverted the part of revision 6952 that caused a@id anchors to be
3972 generated for output of informal objects. Thanks to Sam Steingold
3975 ● Robert Stayton: glossary.xsl
3977 Account for a glossary with no glossdiv or glossentry children.
3979 ● Mauritz Jeanson: titlepage.xsl
3981 Modified legalnotice template so that the base.name parameter is calculated
3982 in the same way as for revhistory chunks. Using <xsl:apply-templates
3983 mode="chunk-filename" select="."/> did not work for single-page output since
3984 the template with that mode is in chunk-code.xsl.
3986 ● Mauritz Jeanson: graphics.xsl
3988 Updated support for SVG (must be a child of imagedata in DB 5).
3989 Added support for MathML in imagedata.
3991 ● Mauritz Jeanson: pi.xsl
3993 Added documentation for the dbhh PI (used for context-sensitive HTML Help).
3994 (The two templates matching 'dbhh' are still in htmlhelp-common.xsl).
3998 The following changes have been made to the manpages code since the 1.73.0
4001 ● Michael(tm) Smith: endnotes.xsl
4003 In manpages output, generate warnings about notesources with
4004 non-para children only if the notesource is a footnote or
4005 annotation. Thanks to Sam Steingold for reporting problems with
4006 the existing handling.
4010 The following changes have been made to the htmlhelp code since the 1.73.0
4013 ● Michael(tm) Smith: htmlhelp-common.xsl
4015 Added single-pass namespace-stripping support to the htmlhelp,
4016 eclipse, and javahelp stylesheets.
4020 The following changes have been made to the eclipse code since the 1.73.0
4023 ● Michael(tm) Smith: eclipse.xsl
4025 Added single-pass namespace-stripping support to the htmlhelp,
4026 eclipse, and javahelp stylesheets.
4030 The following changes have been made to the javahelp code since the 1.73.0
4033 ● Michael(tm) Smith: javahelp.xsl
4035 Added single-pass namespace-stripping support to the htmlhelp,
4036 eclipse, and javahelp stylesheets.
4040 The following changes have been made to the roundtrip code since the 1.73.0
4043 ● Steve Ball: blocks2dbk.xsl; blocks2dbk.dtd; pages2normalise.xsl
4045 Modularised blocks2dbk to allow customisation,
4046 Added support for tables to pages2normalise
4050 The following changes have been made to the params code since the 1.73.0
4053 ● Robert Stayton: procedure.properties.xml
4055 procedure was inheriting keep-together from formal.object.properties, but
4056 a procedure does not need to be kept together by default.
4058 ● Dave Pawson: title.font.family.xml;
4059 component.label.includes.part.label.xml; table.frame.b⋯
4061 Regular formatting re-org.
4065 This release includes important bug fixes and adds the following significant
4068 New localizations and localization updates
4070 We added two new localizations: Latvian and Esperanto, and made updates to
4071 the Czech, Chinese Simplified, Mongolian, Serbian, Italian, and Ukrainian
4074 ISO690 citation style for bibliography output.
4076 Set the bibliography.style parameter to iso690 to use ISO690 style.
4078 New documentation for processing instructions (PI)
4080 The reference documentation that ships with the release now includes
4081 documentation on all PIs that you can use to control output from the
4084 New profiling parameters for audience and wordsize
4086 You can now do profiling based on the values of the audience and wordsize
4089 Changes to man-page output
4091 The manpages stylesheet now supports single-pass profiling and single-pass
4092 DocBook 5 namespace stripping (just as the HTML and FO stylesheets also
4093 do). Also, added handling for mediaobject & inlinemediaobject. (Each
4094 imagedata, audiodata, or videodata element within a mediaobject or inline
4095 mediaobject is now treated as a "notesource" and so handled in much the
4096 same way as links and annotation/alt/footnote are in manpages output.) And
4097 added the man.authors.section.enabled and man.copyright.section.enabled
4098 parameters to enable control over whether output includes auto-generated
4099 AUTHORS and COPYRIGHT sections.
4101 Highlighting support for C
4103 The highlighting mechanism for generating syntax-highlighted code snippets
4104 in output now supports C code listings (along with Java, PHP, XSLT, and
4107 Experimental docbook-xsl-update script
4109 We added an experimental docbook-xsl-update script, the purpose of which is
4110 to facilitate easy sync-up to the latest docbook-xsl snapshot (by means of
4115 The following changes have been made to the gentext code since the 1.72.0
4118 ● Michael(tm) Smith: locale/lv.xml; Makefile
4120 Added Latvian localization file, from Girts Ziemelis.
4122 ● Dongsheng Song: locale/zh_cn.xml
4124 Brought up to date with en.xml in terms of items. A few strings marked for translation.
4126 ● Jirka Kosek: locale/cs.xml
4128 Added missing translations
4130 ● Robert Stayton: locale/eo.xml
4132 New locale for Esperanto.
4134 ● Robert Stayton: locale/mn.xml
4136 Update from Ganbold Tsagaankhuu.
4138 ● Jirka Kosek: locale/en.xml; locale/cs.xml
4140 Rules for normalizing glossary entries before they are sorted can be now different for each language.
4142 ● Michael(tm) Smith: locale/sr_Latn.xml; locale/sr.xml
4144 Committed changes from Miloš Komarčević to Serbian files.
4146 ● Robert Stayton: locale/ja.xml
4148 Fix chapter in context xref-number-and-title
4150 ● Robert Stayton: locale/it.xml
4152 Improved version from contributor.
4154 ● Mauritz Jeanson: locale/uk.xml
4156 Applied patch 1592083.
4160 The following changes have been made to the common code since the 1.72.0
4163 ● Michael(tm) Smith: labels.xsl
4165 Changed handling of reference auto-labeling such that reference
4166 (when it appears at the component level) is now affected by the
4167 label.from.part param, just as preface, chapter, and appendix.
4169 ● Michael(tm) Smith: common.xsl
4171 Added support to the HTML stylesheets for proper processing of
4172 orgname as a child of author.
4174 ● Michael(tm) Smith: refentry.xsl
4176 Refined logging output of refentry metadata-gathering template;
4177 for some cases of "missing" elements (refmiscinfo stuff, etc.),
4178 the log messages now include URL to corresponding page in the
4179 Definitive Guide (TDG).
4181 ● Robert Stayton: titles.xsl
4183 Add refsection/info/title support.
4185 ● Michael(tm) Smith: titles.xsl
4187 Added support for correct handling of xref to elements that
4188 contain info/title descendants but no title children.
4190 This should be further refined so that it handles any *info
4191 elements. And there are probably some other places where similar
4192 handling for *info/title should be added.
4194 ● Mauritz Jeanson: pi.xsl
4196 Modified <xsl:when> in datetime.format template to work
4201 The following changes have been made to the fo code since the 1.72.0 release.
4203 ● Robert Stayton: component.xsl

4212 ● Michael(tm) Smith: inline.xsl
4214 Added template match for person element to fo stylesheet.
4216 ● Robert Stayton: lists.xsl
4218 Added support for spacing="compact" in variablelist, per bug report #1722540.
4220 ● Robert Stayton: table.xsl
4222 table pgwide="1" should also use pgwide.properties attribute-set.
4224 ● Mauritz Jeanson: inline.xsl
4226 Make citations numbered if bibliography.numbered != 0.
4228 ● Robert Stayton: param.xweb; param.ent
4230 Add new profiling parameters for audience and wordsize.
4232 ● Robert Stayton: param.xweb; param.ent
4234 Added callout.icon.size parameter.
4236 ● Robert Stayton: inline.xsl; xref.xsl
4238 Add support for xlink as olink.
4240 ● Robert Stayton: autotoc.xsl; param.xweb; param.ent
4242 Add support for qanda.in.toc to fo TOC.
4244 ● Robert Stayton: component.xsl
4246 Improved the page.sequence utility template for use with book.
4248 ● Robert Stayton: division.xsl
4250 Refactored the big book template into smaller pieces.
4251 Used the "page.sequence" utility template in
4252 component.xsl to shorten the toc piece.
4253 Added placeholder templates for front.cover and back.cover.
4255 ● Robert Stayton: param.xweb; param.ent; sections.xsl
4257 Add section.container.element parameter to enable
4258 pgwide spans inside sections.
4260 ● Robert Stayton: param.xweb; param.ent; component.xsl

4263 support span="all" and other properties.
4265 ● Robert Stayton: htmltbl.xsl; table.xsl
4267 Apply table.row.properties template to html tr rows too.
4268 Add keep-with-next to table.row.properties when row is in thead.
4270 ● Robert Stayton: table.xsl

4273 Fix bug 1575446 rowsep last check for @morerows.
4275 ● Robert Stayton: refentry.xsl
4277 Add support for info/title in refsections.
4279 ● David Cramer: qandaset.xsl
4281 Make fo questions and answers behave the same way as html
4283 ● Jirka Kosek: lists.xsl
4285 Added missing attribute set for procedure
4287 ● Jirka Kosek: param.xweb; biblio.xsl; docbook.xsl; param.ent;
4290 Added support for formatting biblioentries according to ISO690 citation style.
4291 New bibliography style can be turned on by setting parameter bibliography.style to "iso690"
4292 The code was provided by Jana Dvorakova
4294 ● Robert Stayton: param.xweb; param.ent; pagesetup.xsl
4296 Add header.table.properties and footer.table.properties attribute-sets.
4298 ● Robert Stayton: inline.xsl
4300 Add fop1.extensions for menuchoice arrow handling exception.
4304 The following changes have been made to the html code since the 1.72.0 release.
4306 ● Mauritz Jeanson: param.xweb; param.ent
4308 Moved declaration and documentation of javahelp.encoding from javahelp.xsl to the
4309 regular "parameter machinery".
4311 ● Michael(tm) Smith: admon.xsl
4313 Changed handling of titles for note, warning, caution, important,
4314 tip admonitions: We now output and HTML h3 head only if
4315 admon.textlabel is non-zero or if the admonition actually contains
4316 a title; otherwise, we don't output an h3 head at all.
4317 (Previously, we were outputting an empty h3 if the admon.textlabel
4318 was zero and if the admonition had no title.)
4320 ● Mauritz Jeanson: xref.xsl
4322 Added template for xref to area/areaset.
4323 Part of fix for bug #1675513 (xref to area broken).
4325 ● Mauritz Jeanson: titlepage.xsl; component.xsl; division.xsl; sections.xsl
4327 Added fixes to avoid duplicate ids when generate.id.attributes = 1.
4328 This (hopefully) closes bug #1671052.
4330 ● Michael(tm) Smith: formal.xsl; pi.xsl
4332 Made the dbfunclist PI work as intended. Also added doc for
4333 dbfunclist and dbcmdlist PIs.
4335 ● Michael(tm) Smith: pi.xsl; synop.xsl
4337 Made the dbcmdlist work the way it appears to have been intended
4338 to work. Restored dbhtml-dir template back to pi.xsl.
4340 ● Michael(tm) Smith: titlepage.xsl; param.xweb; param.ent
4342 Added new param abstract.notitle.enabled.
4343 If non-zero, in output of the abstract element on titlepages,
4344 display of the abstract title is suppressed.
4345 Because sometimes you really don't want or need that title
4348 ● Michael(tm) Smith: chunk-code.xsl; graphics.xsl
4350 When we are chunking long descriptions for mediaobject instances
4351 into separate HTML output files, and use.id.as.filename is
4352 non-zero, if a mediaobject has an ID, use that ID as the basename
4353 for the long-description file (otherwise, we generate an ID for it
4354 and use that ID as the basename for the file).
4355 The parallels the recent change made to cause IDs for legalnotice
4356 instances to be used as basenames for legalnotice chunks.
4357 Also, made some minor refinements to the recent changes for
4358 legalnotice chunk handling.
4360 ● Michael(tm) Smith: titlepage.xsl
4362 Added support to the HTML stylesheets for proper processing of
4363 orgname as a child of author.
4365 ● Michael(tm) Smith: chunk-code.xsl
4367 When $generate.legalnotice.link is non-zero and
4368 $use.id.as.filename is also non-zero, if a legalnotice has an ID,
4369 then instead of assigning the "ln-<generatedID>" basename to the
4370 output file for that legalnotice, just use its real ID as the
4371 basename for the file -- as we do when chunking other elements
4374 ● David Cramer: xref.xsl
4376 Handle alt text on xrefs to steps when the step doesn't have a title.
4378 ● David Cramer: lists.xsl
4380 Added <p> element around term in variablelist when formatted as table to avoid misalignment of term and listitem in xhtml (non-quirks mode) output
4382 ● David Cramer: qandaset.xsl
4384 Added <p> element around question and answer labels to avoid misalignment of label and listitem in xhtml (non-quirks mode) output
4386 ● David Cramer: lists.xsl
4388 Added <p> element around callouts to avoid misalignment of callout and listitem in xhtml (non-quirks mode) output
4390 ● Mauritz Jeanson: inline.xsl
4392 Make citations numbered if bibliography.numbered != 0.
4394 ● Robert Stayton: param.xweb; param.ent
4396 Add support for new profiling attributes audience and wordsize.
4398 ● Robert Stayton: inline.xsl; xref.xsl
4400 Add support for xlink olinks.
4402 ● Jirka Kosek: glossary.xsl
4404 Rules for normalizing glossary entries before they are sorted can be now different for each language.
4406 ● Robert Stayton: chunk-common.xsl; chunk-code.xsl; manifest.xsl; chunk.xsl
4408 Refactored the chunking modules to move all named templates to
4409 chunk-common.xsl and all match templates to chunk-code.xsl, in
4410 order to enable better chunk customization.
4411 See the comments in chunk.xsl for more details.
4413 ● Robert Stayton: lists.xsl
4415 Add anchor for xml:id for listitem in varlistentry.
4417 ● Robert Stayton: refentry.xsl
4419 Add support for info/title in refsections for db5.
4421 ● Jirka Kosek: param.xweb; biblio.xsl; docbook.xsl; param.ent;
4424 Added support for formatting biblioentries according to ISO690 citation style.
4425 New bibliography style can be turned on by setting parameter bibliography.style to "iso690"
4426 The code was provided by Jana Dvorakova
4428 ● Robert Stayton: inline.xsl; xref.xsl
4430 Add call to class.attribute to <a> output elements so they can
4431 have a class value too.
4433 ● Mauritz Jeanson: glossary.xsl
4436 * Added curly braces around all $language attribute values.
4437 * Moved declaration of language variable to top level of stylesheet.
4438 Tested with Xalan, Saxon, and xsltproc.
4442 The following changes have been made to the manpages code since the 1.72.0
4445 ● Michael(tm) Smith: param.xweb; docbook.xsl; param.ent
4447 Added the man.authors.section.enabled and
4448 man.copyright.section.enabled parameters. Set those to zero when
4449 you want to suppress display of the auto-generated AUTHORS and
4450 COPYRIGHT sections. Closes request #1467806. Thanks to Daniel
4453 ● Michael(tm) Smith: docbook.xsl
4455 Took the test that the manpages stylesheet does to see if there
4456 are any Refentry chilren in current doc, and made it
4457 namespace-agnostic. Reason for that is because the test otherwise
4458 won't work when it is copied over into the generated
4459 profile-docbook.xsl stylesheet.
4461 ● Michael(tm) Smith: Makefile
4463 Added a manpages/profile-docbook.xsl file to enable single-pass
4464 profiling for manpages output.
4466 ● Michael(tm) Smith: info.xsl
4468 Output copyright and legalnotice in man-page output in whatever
4469 place they are in in document order. Closes #1690539. Thanks to
4470 Daniel Leidert for reporting.
4472 ● Michael(tm) Smith: docbook.xsl
4474 Restored support for single-pass namespace stripping to manpages
4477 ● Michael(tm) Smith: synop.xsl; block.xsl; info.xsl; inline.xsl; lists.xsl;
4480 Changed handling of bold and italic/underline output in manpages
4481 output. Should be transparent to users, but...
4483 This touches handling of all bold and italic/underline output. The
4484 exact change is that the mode="bold" and mode="italic" utility
4485 templates were changed to named templates. (I think maybe I've
4486 changed it back and forth from mode to named before, so this is
4487 maybe re-reverting it yet again).
4489 Anyway, the reason for the change is that the templates are
4490 sometimes call on dynamically node-sets, and using modes to format
4491 those doesn't allow passing info about the current/real context
4492 node from the source (not the node-set created by the stylesheet)
4493 to that formatting stage.
4495 The named templates allow the context to be passed in as a
4496 parameter, so that the bold/ital formatting template can use
4497 context-aware condition checking.
4499 This was basically necessary in order to suppress bold formatting
4500 in titles, which otherwise gets screwed up because of the numbnut
4501 way that roff handles nested bold/ital.
4503 Closes #1674534). Much thanks to Daniel Leidert, whose in his
4504 docbook-xsl bug-finding kung-fu has achieved Grand Master status.
4506 ● Michael(tm) Smith: block.xsl
4508 Fixed handling of example instances by adding the example element
4509 to the same template we use for processing figure. Closes
4510 #1674538. Thanks to Daniel Leidert.
4512 ● Michael(tm) Smith: utility.xsl
4514 Don't include lang in manpages filename/pathname if lang=en (that
4515 is, only generate lang-qualified file-/pathnames for non-English).
4517 ● Michael(tm) Smith: endnotes.xsl
4519 In manpages output, emit warnings for notesources (footnote, etc.)
4520 that have something other than para as a child.
4522 The numbered-with-hanging-indent formatting that's used for
4523 rendering endnotes in the NOTES section of man pages places some
4524 limits/assumptions on how the DocBook source is marked up; namely,
4525 for notesources (footnote, annotation, etc.) that can contain
4526 block-level children, if the they have a block-level child such as
4527 a table or itemizedlist or orderedlist that is the first child of
4528 a footnote, we have no way of rendering/indenting its content
4529 properly in the endnotes list.
4531 Thus, the manpages stylesheet not emits a warning message for that
4532 case, and suggests the "fix" (which is to wrap the table or
4533 itemizedlist or whatever in a para that has some preferatory text.
4535 ● Michael(tm) Smith: utility.xsl
4537 Added support to mixed-block template for handling tables in
4538 mixed-blocks (e.g., as child of para) correctly.
4540 ● Michael(tm) Smith: table.xsl; synop.xsl; block.xsl; info.xsl; lists.xsl;
4543 Reverted necessary escaping of backslash, dot, and dash
4544 out of the well-intentioned (but it now appears,
4545 misguided) "marker" mechanism (introduced in the 1.72.0
4546 release) -- which made use of alternative "marker"
4547 characters as internal representations of those
4548 characters, and then replaced them just prior to
4549 serialization -- and back into what's basically the
4550 system that was used prior to the 1.69.0 release; that
4551 is, into a part of stylesheet code that gets executed
4552 at the beginning of processing -- before any other roff
4553 markup up is. This change obviates the need for the
4554 marker system. It also requires a lot less RAM during
4555 processing (for large files, the marker mechanism
4556 ending up requiring gigabytes of memory).
4558 Closes bug #1661177. Thanks to Scott Smedley for
4559 providing a test case (the fvwm man page) that exposed
4560 the problem with the marker mechanism.
4562 Also moved the mechanism for converting non-breaking
4563 spaces back into the same area of the stylesheet code.
4565 ● Michael(tm) Smith: lists.xsl
4567 Fixed problem with incorrect formatting of nested variablelist.
4568 Closes bug #1650931. Thanks to Daniel "Eagle Eye" Leidert.
4570 ● Michael(tm) Smith: lists.xsl
4572 Make sure that all listitems in itemizedlist and orderedlist are
4573 preceded by a blank line. This fixes a regression that occurred
4574 when instances of the TP macro that were use in a previous
4575 versions of the list-handling code were switched to RS/RE (because
4576 TP doesn't support nesting). TP automatically generates a blank
4577 line, but RS doesn't. So I added a .sp before each .RS
4579 ● Michael(tm) Smith: block.xsl; inline.xsl; param.xweb; docbook.xsl;
4580 links.xsl; param.ent
4582 Made a number of changes related to elements with
4583 out-of-line content:
4585 - Added handling for mediaobject & inlinemediaobject.
4586 Each imagedata, audiodata, or videodata element
4587 within a mediaobject or inline mediaobject is now
4588 treated as a "notesource" and so handled in much the
4589 same way as links and annotation/alt/footnotes.
4591 That means a numbered marker is generated inline to
4592 mark the place in the main flow where the imagedata,
4593 audiodata, or videodata element occurs, and a
4594 corresponding numbered endnote for it is generated in
4595 the endnotes list at the end of the man page; the
4596 endnote contains the URL from the fileref attribute
4597 of the imagedata, audiodata, or videodata element.
4599 For mediobject and inlinemediaobject instances that
4600 have a textobject child, the textobject is displayed
4601 within the main text flow.
4603 - Renamed several man.link.* params to man.endnotes.*,
4604 to reflect that fact that the endnotes list now
4605 contains more than just links. Also did similar
4606 renaming for a number of stylesheet-internal vars.
4608 - Added support for xlink:href (along with existing
4609 support for the legacy ulink element).
4611 - Cleaned up and streamlined the endnotes-handling
4612 code. It's still messy and klunky and the basic
4613 mechanism it uses is very inefficent for documents
4614 that contain a lot of notesources, but at least it's
4615 a bit better than it was.
4619 The following changes have been made to the eclipse code since the 1.72.0
4622 ● Mauritz Jeanson: Makefile
4624 Fixed bug #1715093: Makefile for creating profiled version of eclipse.xsl added.
4626 ● David Cramer: eclipse.xsl
4628 Added normalize-space around to avoid leading whitespace from appearing in the output if there's extra leading whitespace (e.g. <title> Foo</title>) in the source
4632 The following changes have been made to the javahelp code since the 1.72.0

4708 Because sometimes you really don't want or need that title
4711 ● Michael(tm) Smith: man.string.subst.map.xml
4713 Updated manpages string-substitute map to reflect fact that
4714 because of another recent change to suppress bold markup in .SH
4715 output, we no longer need to add a workaround for the accidental

4806 The following changes have been made to the tools code since the 1.72.0
4809 ● Michael(tm) Smith: bin; bin/docbook-xsl-update
4811 Did some cleanup to the install.sh source and added a
4812 docbook-xsl-update script to the docbook-xsl distro, the purpose
4813 of which is to facilitate easy sync-up to the latest docbook-xsl
4814 snapshot (by means of rsync).
4818 The following changes have been made to the xsl-saxon code since the 1.72.0
4821 ● Mauritz Jeanson: xalan27/src/com/nwalsh/xalan/Verbatim.java; xalan27/src/
4824 Added modifications so that the new callout.icon.size parameter is taken into account. This
4825 parameter is used for FO output (where SVG now is the default graphics format for callouts).
4827 ● Mauritz Jeanson: saxon65/src/com/nwalsh/saxon/FormatCallout.java; xalan27/
4830 Added code for generating id attributes on callouts in HTML and FO output.
4831 These patches enable cross-references to callouts placed by area coordinates.
4832 It works for graphic, unicode and text callouts.
4833 Part of fix for bug #1675513 (xref to area broken).
4835 ● Michael(tm) Smith: saxon65/src/com/nwalsh/saxon/Website.java; xalan27/src/
4838 Copied over Website XSL Java extensions.
4842 The following changes have been made to the xsl-xalan code since the 1.72.0
4845 ● Michael(tm) Smith: Makefile; xalan2
4847 Turned off xalan2.jar build. This removes DocBook XSL
4848 Java extensions support for versions of Xalan prior to
4849 Xalan 2.7. If you are currently using the extensions
4850 with an earlier version of Xalan, you need to upgrade
4853 ● Mauritz Jeanson: xalan27/src/com/nwalsh/xalan/Verbatim.java; xalan27/src/
4856 Added modifications so that the new callout.icon.size parameter is taken into account. This
4857 parameter is used for FO output (where SVG now is the default graphics format for callouts).
4859 ● Mauritz Jeanson: saxon65/src/com/nwalsh/saxon/FormatCallout.java; xalan27/
4862 Added code for generating id attributes on callouts in HTML and FO output.
4863 These patches enable cross-references to callouts placed by area coordinates.
4864 It works for graphic, unicode and text callouts.
4865 Part of fix for bug #1675513 (xref to area broken).
4867 ● Michael(tm) Smith: saxon65/src/com/nwalsh/saxon/Website.java; xalan27/src/
4870 Copied over Website XSL Java extensions.
4874 This release includes important bug fixes and adds the following significant
4877 Automatic sorting of glossary entries
4879 The HTML and FO stylesheets now support automatic sorting of glossary
4880 entries. To enable glossary sorting, set the value of the glossary.sort
4881 parameter to 1 (by default, it’s value is 0). When you enable glossary
4882 sorting, glossentry elements within a glossary, glossdiv, or glosslist are
4883 sorted on the glossterm, using the current language setting. If you don’t
4884 enable glossary sorting, then the order of glossentry elements is left “as
4885 is” — that is, they are not sorted but are instead just displayed in
4888 WordML renamed to Roundtrip, OpenOffice support added
4890 Stylesheets for “roundtrip” conversion between documents in OpenOffice
4891 format (ODF) and DocBook XML have been added to the set of stylesheets that
4892 formerly had the collective title WordML, and that set of stylesheets has
4893 been renamed to Roundtrip to better reflect the actual scope and purpose of
4896 So the DocBook XSL Stylesheets now support roundtrip conversion (with
4897 certain limitations) of WordML, OpenOffice, and Apple Pages documents to
4898 and from DocBook XML.
4900 Including QandASet questions in TOCs
4902 The HTML stylesheet now provides support for including QandASet questions
4903 in the document TOC. To enable display of questions in the document TOC,
4904 set the value of the qanda.in.toc to 1 (by default, it’s 0). When you
4905 enable qanda.in.toc, then the generated table of contents for a document
4906 will include qandaset titles, qandadiv titles, and question elements. The
4907 default value of zero excludes them from the TOC.
4911 The qanda.in.toc parameter does not affect any tables of contents that may
4912 be generated within a qandaset or qandadiv (only in the document TOC).
4914 Language identifier in man-page filenames and pathnames
4916 Added new parameter man.output.lang.in.name.enabled, which controls whether
4917 a language identifier is included in man-page filenames and pathnames. It
4920 If the value of man.output.lang.in.name.enabled is non-zero, man-page files
4921 are output with a language identifier included in their filenames or
4922 pathnames as follows:
4924 ● if man.output.subdirs.enabled is non-zero, each file is output to,
4925 e.g., a /$lang/man8/foo.8 pathname
4927 ● if man.output.subdirs.enabled is zero, each file is output with a
4928 foo.$lang.8 filename
4930 index.page.number.properties property set
4932 For FO output, use the index.page.number.properties to control formatting
4933 of page numbers in index output — to (for example) to display page numbers
4934 in index output in a different color (to indicate that they are links).
4936 Crop marks in output from Antenna House XSL Formatter
4938 Support has been added for generating crop marks in print/PDF output
4939 generated using Antenna House XSL Formatter
4941 More string-substitution hooks in manpages output
4943 The man.string.subst.map.local.pre and man.string.subst.map.local.post
4944 parameters have been added to enable easier control over custom string
4947 Moved verbatim properties to attribute-set
4949 The hardcoded properties used in verbatim elements (literallayout,
4950 programlisting, screen) were moved to the verbatim.properties attribute-set
4951 so they can be more easily customized.
4953 enhanced simple.xlink template
4955 Now the simple.xlink template in inline.xsl works with cross reference
4956 elements xref and link as well. Also, more elements call simple.xlink,
4957 which enables DB5 xlink functionality.
4959 DocBook 5 compatibility
4961 Stylesheets now consistently support DocBook 5 attributes (such as xml:id).
4962 Also, DocBook 5 info elements are now checked along with other *info
4963 elements, and the use of name() function was replaced by local-name() so it
4964 also matches on DocBook 5 elements. These changes enable reusing the
4965 stylesheets with DocBook 5 documents with minimal fixup.
4967 HTML class attributes now handled in class.attribute mode
4969 The HTML class attributes were formerly hardcoded to the element name. Now
4970 the class attribute is generated by applying templates in class.attribute
4971 mode so class attribute names can be customized. The default is still the
4974 arabic-indic numbering enabled in autolabels
4976 Numbering of chapter, sections, and pages can now use arabic-indic
4977 numbering when number format is set to 'arabicindic' or to ١.
4979 The following is a detailed list of changes (not including bug fixes) that have
4980 been made since the 1.71.1 release.
4984 The following changes have been made to the common code since the 1.71.1
4987 ● Add support for arabicindic numbering to autolabel.format template.
4989 ● Finish support for @xml:id everywhere @id is used.
4991 ● replace name() with local-name() in most cases.
4993 ● Add support for info.
4995 ● Add utility template tabstyle to return the tabstyle from
5000 The following changes have been made to the fo code since the 1.71.1 release.
5002 ● Add support for sorting glossary entries
5004 ● Add table.row.properties template to customize table rows.
5006 ● Moved all properties to attribute-sets so can be customized more easily.
5008 ● Add index.page.number.properties attribute-set to format page numbers.
5010 ● xref now supports xlink:href, using simple.xlink template.
5012 ● Rewrote simple.xlink, and call it with all charseq templates.
5014 ● Add simple.xlink processing to term and member elements.
5016 ● Add support for crop marks in Antenna House.
5020 The following changes have been made to the html code since the 1.71.1 release.
5022 ● Add support for sorting glossary entries
5024 ● Add support for qanda.in.toc to add qandaentry questions to document TOC.
5026 ● add simple.xlink support to variablelist term and simplelist member.
5028 ● *.propagates.style now handled in class.attribute mode.
5030 ● add class parameter to class.attribute mode to set default class.
5032 ● Convert all class attributes to use the class.attribute mode
5033 so class names can be customized more easily.
5035 ● Add class.attribute mode to generate class attributes.
5037 ● Added simple.xlink to most remaining inlines.
5038 Changed class attributes to applying class.attributes mode.
5040 ● Changed xref template to use simple.xlink tempalte.
5042 ● Improve generate.html.title to work with link targets too.
5044 ● Improved simple.xlink to support link and xref.
5046 ● Use new link.title.attribute now.
5048 ● Rewrote simple.xlink to handle linkend also.
5049 Better computation of title attribute on link too.
5051 ● Handle Xalan quirk as special case.
5053 ● Add support for info.
5055 ● Fixed imagemaps so they work properly going from calspair coords
5056 to HTML area coords.
5060 The following changes have been made to the manpages code since the 1.71.1
5063 ● Added doc for man.output.lang.in.name.enabled parameter. This
5064 checkin completes support for writing file/pathnames for man-pages
5065 with $lang include in the names. Closes #1585967. knightly
5066 accolades to Daniel Leidert for providing the feature request.
5068 ● Added new param man.output.lang.in.name.enabled, which
5069 controls whether $LANG value is included in manpages
5070 filenames and pathnames. It works like this:
5072 If the value of man.output.lang.in.name.enabled is non-zero,
5073 man-page files are output with the $lang value included in
5074 their filenames or pathnames as follows;
5076 - if man.output.subdirs.enabled is non-zero, each file is
5077 output to, e.g., a /$lang/man8/foo.8 pathname
5079 - if man.output.subdirs.enabled is zero, each file is output
5080 with a foo.$lang.8 filename
5082 ● Use "\e" instead of "\\" for backslash output, because the
5083 groff docs say that's the correct thing to do; also because
5084 testing (thanks, Paul Dubois) shows that "\\" doesn't always
5085 work as expected; for example, "\\" within a table seems to
5088 ● Added the man.string.subst.map.local.pre and
5089 man.string.subst.map.local.post parameters. Those parameters
5090 enable local additions and changes to string-substitution mappings
5091 without the need to change the value of man.string.subst.map
5092 parameter (which is for standard system mappings). Closes
5093 #1456738. Thanks to Sam Steingold for constructing a true
5094 stylesheet torture test (the clisp docs) that exposed the need for
5097 ● Added the Markup element to the list of elements that get output
5098 in bold. Thanks to Eric S. Raymond.
5100 ● Replaced all dots in roff requests with U+2302 ("house"
5101 character), and added escaping in output for all instances of dot
5102 that are not in roff requests. This fixes the problem case where a
5103 string beginning with a dot (for example, the string ".bashrc")
5104 might occur at the beginning of a line in output, in which case
5105 would mistakenly get interpreted as a roff request. Thanks to Eric
5106 S. Raymond for pushing to fix this.
5108 ● Made change to ensure that list content nested in
5109 itemizedlist and orderedlist instances is properly indented. This
5110 is a switch from using .TP to format those lists to using .RS/.RE
5111 to format them instead (because .TP does not allow nesting). Closes bug #
5113 Thanks to Daniel Leidert.
5117 The following changes have been made to the params code since the 1.71.1
5120 ● Added doc for man.output.lang.in.name.enabled parameter. This
5121 checkin completes support for writing file/pathnames for man-pages
5122 with $lang include in the names. Closes #1585967. knightly
5123 accolades to Daniel Leidert for providing the feature request.
5125 ● Added new param man.output.lang.in.name.enabled, which
5126 controls whether $LANG value is included in manpages
5127 filenames and pathnames. It works like this:
5129 If the value of man.output.lang.in.name.enabled is non-zero,
5130 man-page files are output with the $lang value included in
5131 their filenames or pathnames as follows;
5133 - if man.output.subdirs.enabled is non-zero, each file is
5134 output to, e.g., a /$lang/man8/foo.8 pathname
5136 - if man.output.subdirs.enabled is zero, each file is output
5137 with a foo.$lang.8 filename
5139 ● Added the man.string.subst.map.local.pre and
5140 man.string.subst.map.local.post parameters. Those parameters
5141 enable local additions and changes to string-substitution mappings
5142 without the need to change the value of man.string.subst.map
5143 parameter (which is for standard system mappings). Closes
5144 #1456738. Thanks to Sam Steingold for constructing a true
5145 stylesheet torture test (the clisp docs) that exposed the need for
5148 ● Add index.page.number.properties by default.
5150 ● Added index.page.number.properties
5151 to allow customizations of page numbers in indexes.
5153 ● Move show-destination="replace" property from template to attribute-set
5154 so it can be customized.
5156 ● Add support for sorting glossary entries
5158 ● Add option to include qanda in tables of contents.
5160 ● Moved all properties to attribute-sets so can be customized more easily.
5164 The following changes have been made to the template code since the 1.71.1
5167 ● Added workaround for Xalan bug: use for-each and copy instead of copy-of (#
5172 The following changes have been made to the roundtrip code since the 1.71.1
5175 ● rename to roundtrip, add OpenOffice support
5179 This is a minor update to the 1.71.0 release. Along with a number of bug fixes,
5180 it includes two feature changes:
5182 ● Added support for profiling based on xml:lang and status attributes.
5184 ● Added initial support in manpages output for footnote, annotation, and alt
5185 instances. Basically, they all now get handled the same way ulink instances
5186 are. They are treated as a class as "note sources": A numbered marker is
5187 generated at the place in the main text flow where they occur, then their
5188 contents are displayed in an endnotes section at the end of the man page.
5192 The following changes have been made to the common code since the 1.71.1
5195 ● For backward compatability autoidx-ng.xsl is invoking "kosek" indexing method again.
5197 ● Add support for Xalan generating a root xml:base like saxon.
5201 The following changes have been made to the fo code since the 1.71.1 release.
5203 ● For backward compatability autoidx-ng.xsl is invoking "kosek" indexing method again.
5205 ● Add support for Xalan to add root node xml:base for db5 docs.
5207 ● Added support for profiling based on xml:lang and status attributes.
5211 The following changes have been made to the html code since the 1.71.1 release.
5213 ● For backward compatability autoidx-ng.xsl is invoking "kosek" indexing method again.
5215 ● Add support for Xalan to add root node xml:base for db5 docs.
5217 ● Added support for profiling based on xml:lang and status attributes.
5219 ● Made changes in namespace declarations to prevent xmllint's
5220 canonicalizer from treating them as relative namespace URIs.
5222 - Changed xmlns:k="java:com.isogen.saxoni18n.Saxoni18nService"
5223 to xmlns:k="http://www.isogen.com/functions/
5224 com.isogen.saxoni18n.Saxoni18nService";
5225 Saxon accepts either form
5226 (see http://www.saxonica.com/documentation/extensibility/
5228 to Saxon, "the part of the URI before the final '/' is immaterial".
5230 - Changed, e.g. xmlns:xverb="com.nwalsh.xalan.Verbatim" to
5231 xmlns:xverb="xalan://com.nwalsh.xalan.Verbatim"; Xalan accepts
5233 (see http://xml.apache.org/xalan-j/extensions.html#
5234 java-namespace-declare);
5235 just as Saxon does, it will "simply use the string to the
5236 right of the rightmost forward slash as the Java class name".
5238 - Changed xmlns:xalanredirect="org.apache.xalan.xslt.extensions.Redirect"
5239 to xmlns:redirect="http://xml.apache.org/xalan/redirect", and
5240 adjusted associated code to make the current Xalan redirect spec.
5241 (see http://xml.apache.org/xalan-j/apidocs/org/apache/xalan/lib/
5244 ● Added the html.append and chunk.append parameters. By default, the
5245 value of both is empty; but the internal DocBook XSL stylesheets
5246 build sets their value to "<xsl:text>
</xsl:text>", in order
5247 to ensure that all files in the docbook-xsl-doc package end in a
5248 newline character. (Because diff and some other tools may emit
5249 error messages and/or not behave as expected when processing
5250 files that are not newline-terminated.)
5254 The following changes have been made to the highlighting code since the 1.71.1
5257 ● Added license information
5261 The following changes have been made to the manpages code since the 1.71.1
5264 ● Added initial support in manpages output for footnote, annotation,
5265 and alt instances. Basically, they all now get handled the same
5266 way ulink instances are. They are treated as a class as "note
5267 sources": A numbered marker is generated at the place in the main
5268 text flow where they occur, then their contents are displayed in
5269 an endnotes section at the end of the man page (currently titled
5270 REFERENCES, for English output, but will be changed to NOTES).
5272 This support is not yet complete. It works for most "normal"
5273 cases, but probably mishandles a good number of cases. More
5274 testing will be needed to expose the problems. It may well also
5275 introduce some bugs and regressions in other areas, including
5276 basic paragraph handling, handling of "mixed block" content,
5277 handling of other indented content, and handling of authorblurb
5278 and personblurb in the AUTHORS section.
5282 The following changes have been made to the params code since the 1.71.1
5285 ● Added support for profiling based on xml:lang and status attributes.
5287 ● Added the html.append and chunk.append parameters. By default, the
5288 value of both is empty; but the internal DocBook XSL stylesheets
5289 build sets their value to "<xsl:text>
</xsl:text>", in order
5290 to ensure that all files in the docbook-xsl-doc package end in a
5291 newline character. (Because diff and some other tools may emit
5292 error messages and/or not behave as expected when processing
5293 files that are not newline-terminated.)
5297 The following changes have been made to the profiling code since the 1.71.1
5300 ● Added support for profiling based on xml:lang and status attributes.
5304 This is mainly a bug fix release, but it also includes two significant feature
5307 Highlighting support added
5309 The stylesheets now include support for source-code highlighting in output
5310 of programlisting instances (controlled through the highlight.source
5311 parameter). The Java-based implementation requires Saxon and makes use of
5312 Michal Molhanec’s XSLTHL. More details are available at Jirka Kosek’s
5315 http://xmlguru.cz/2006/07/docbook-syntax-highlighting
5317 The support is currently limited to highlighting of XML, Java, PHP, Delphi,
5318 Modula-2 sources, and INI files.
5320 Changes to autoindexing
5322 The templates that handle alternative indexing methods were reworked to
5323 avoid errors produced by certain processors not being able to tolerate the
5324 presence of unused functions. With this release, none of the code for the
5325 'kimber' or 'kosek' methods is included in the default stylesheets. In
5326 order to use one of those methods, your customization layer must import one
5327 of the optional stylesheet modules:
5329 ● html/autoidx-kosek.xsl
5330 ● html/autoidx-kimber.xsl
5331 ● fo/autoidx-kosek.xsl
5332 ● fo/autoidx-kimber.xsl
5334 See the index.method parameter reference page for more information.
5336 Two other changes to note:
5338 ● The default indexing method now can handle accented characters in
5339 latin-based alphabets, not just English. This means accented latin
5340 letters will group and sort with their unaccented counterpart.
5341 ● The default value for the index.method parameter was changed from
5342 'english' to 'basic' because now the default method can handle
5343 latin-based alphabets, not just English.
5345 The following is a list of changes that have been made since the 1.70.1
5350 The following changes have been made to the common code since the 1.70.1

5375 ● Support titlecase "Java", "Perl", and "IDL" as values for the
5376 language attribute on classsynopsis, etc. (instead of just
5377 lowercase "java", "perl", and "idl"). Also support "c++" and "C++"
5378 (instead of just "cpp").
5380 Affects HTML, FO, and manpages output. Closes bug 1552332. Thanks
5381 to "Brian A. Vanderburg II".
5383 ● Added support for the reference.autolabel param in (X)HTML and FO

5394 does not support it either.
5396 ● Add Xalan variant to test for exslt:node-set function.
5397 Xalan can use function named node-set(), but doesn't
5398 recognize it using function-available().
5400 ● Added support to FO stylesheets for handling instances of Org
5401 where it occurs outside of *info content. In HTML stylesheets,
5402 moved handling of Org out of info.xsl and into inline.xsl. In both

5413 of the email element). If zero, the delimiters are suppressed.
5415 ● Initial support of syntax highlighting of programlistings.
5417 ● Chapter after preface should restart numbering of pages.
5421 The following changes have been made to the html code since the 1.70.1 release.
5423 ● xsl:sort lang attribute now uses two-char substring of lang attribute.

5448 displayed as inline content rather than as block content.
5450 othercredit.like.author.enabled:
5451 If non-zero, output of the othercredit element on titlepages is
5452 displayed in the same style as author and editor output. If zero

5454 different than that of author and editor.
5456 blurb.on.titlepage.enabled:
5457 If non-zero, output from authorblurb and personblurb elements is
5458 displayed on title pages. If zero (the default), output from
5459 those elements is suppressed on title pages (unless you are
5460 using a titlepage customization that causes them to be included).
5463 If non-zero (the default), a localized Edited by heading is
5464 displayed above editor names in output of the editor element.
5466 ● Add Xalan variant to test for exslt:node-set function.
5467 Xalan can use function named node-set(), but doesn't
5468 recognize it using function-available().

5481 ● Added new email.delimiters.enabled param. If non-zero (the
5482 default), delimiters are generated around e-mail addresses (output
5483 of the email element). If zero, the delimiters are suppressed.
5485 ● Added qanda.nested.in.toc param. Default value is zero. If
5486 non-zero, instances of "nested" Qandaentry (ones that are children
5487 of Answer elements) are displayed in the TOC. Closes patch 1509018
5488 (from Daniel Leidert). Currently on affects HTML output (no patch
5489 for FO output provided).
5491 ● Improved handling of relative locations generated files
5493 ● Initial support of syntax highlighting of programlistings.

5518 linke as the author, editor, etc., name.
5520 ● Don't number or link-list any Ulink instance whose string value is
5521 identical to the value of its url attribute. Just display it inline.
5523 ● Don't output punctuation between Refname and Refpurpose if

5532 ● In manpages output, if the last/nearest *info element for
5533 particular Refentry has multiple Copyright and/or Legalnotice
5534 children, process them all (not just the first ones). Closes bug
5535 1524576. Thanks to Sam Steingold for the report and to Daniel
5536 Leidert for providing a patch.

5565 If non-zero, output from authorblurb and personblurb elements is
5566 displayed on title pages. If zero (the default), output from

5575 default), delimiters are generated around e-mail addresses (output
5576 of the email element). If zero, the delimiters are suppressed.
5578 ● Added qanda.nested.in.toc param. Default value is zero. If
5579 non-zero, instances of "nested" Qandaentry (ones that are children
5580 of Answer elements) are displayed in the TOC. Closes patch 1509018
5581 (from Daniel Leidert). Currently on affects HTML output (no patch
5582 for FO output provided).

5606 This is a stable release of the 1.70 stylesheets. It includes only a few small
5607 changes from 1.70.0.
5609 The following is a list of changes that have been made since the 1.70.0
5614 The following changes have been made to the fo code since the 1.70.0 release.
5616 ● Added three new attribute sets (revhistory.title.properties,
5617 revhistory.table.properties and revhistory.table.cell.properties) for
5618 controlling appearance of revhistory in FO output.
5620 Modified: fo/block.xsl,1.34; fo/param.ent,1.101; fo/param.xweb,1.114; fo/

5625 ● Support DBv5 revisions with full author name (not only authorinitials)
5627 Modified: fo/block.xsl,1.33; fo/titlepage.xsl,1.40 - Jirka Kosek
5631 The following changes have been made to the html code since the 1.70.0 release.

5639 The following changes have been made to the htmlhelp code since the 1.70.0
5642 ● htmlhelp.generate.index is now param, not variable. This means that you can
5643 override its setting from outside. This is useful when you generate
5644 indexterms on the fly (see http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2004/07/14/dbndx.html?
5647 Modified: htmlhelp/htmlhelp-common.xsl,1.38 - Jirka Kosek

5669 As with all DocBook Project dot-zero releases, this is an experimental release.
5670 It will be followed shortly by a stable release.
5672 This release adds a number of new features, including:
5674 ● support for selecting alternative index-collation methods (in particular,
5675 support for using a collation library developed by Eliot Kimber)
5677 ● improved handling of DocBook 5 document instances (through a
5678 namespace-stripping mechanism)
5680 ● full support for CALS and HTML tables in manpages output
5682 ● a mechanism for preserving relative URIs in documents that make use of
5685 ● support for the "new" .90 version of FOP
5687 ● enhanced capabilities for controlling formatting of lists in HTML and FO
5690 ● autogeneration of AUTHOR and COPYRIGHT sections in manpages output
5692 ● support for generating crop marks in FO/PDF output
5694 ● support for qandaset as a root element in FO output
5696 ● support for floatstyle and orient on all table types
5698 ● support for floatstyle in figure, and example
5700 ● pgwide.properties attribute-set supports extending figure, example and
5701 table into the left indent area instead of spanning multiple columns.
5703 The following is a detailed list of enhancements and API changes that have been
5704 made since the 1.69.1 release.
5708 The following changes have been made to the common code since the 1.69.1
5711 ● Add the xsl:key for the kimber indexing method.
5713 Modified: common/autoidx-ng.xsl,1.2 - Robert Stayton
5715 ● Add support for qandaset.
5717 Modified: common/labels.xsl,1.37; common/subtitles.xsl,1.7; common/
5718 titles.xsl,1.35 - Robert Stayton
5720 ● Support dbhtml/dbfo start PI for orderedlist numbering in both HTML and FO
5722 Modified: common/common.xsl,1.61; html/lists.xsl,1.50 - Norman Walsh
5726 Modified: common/stripns.xsl,1.12 - Robert Stayton
5728 ● Changed content model of text element to ANY rather than #PCDATA because
5729 they could contain markup.
5731 Modified: common/targetdatabase.dtd,1.7 - Robert Stayton
5733 ● Added refentry.meta.get.quietly param.
5735 If zero (the default), notes and warnings about "missing" markup are
5736 generated during gathering of refentry metadata. If non-zero, the metadata
5737 is gathered "quietly" -- that is, the notes and warnings are suppressed.
5739 NOTE: If you are processing a large amount of refentry content, you may be
5740 able to speed up processing significantly by setting a non-zero value for
5741 refentry.meta.get.quietly.
5743 Modified: common/refentry.xsl,1.17; manpages/param.ent,1.15; manpages/
5744 param.xweb,1.17; params/refentry.meta.get.quietly.xml,1.1 - Michael(tm)
5747 ● After namespace stripping, the source document is the temporary tree
5748 created by the stripping process and it has the wrong base URI for relative
5749 references. Earlier versions of this code used to try to fix that by
5750 patching the elements with relative @fileref attributes. That was
5751 inadequate because it calculated an absolute base URI without considering
5752 that there might be xml:base attributes already in effect. It seems obvious
5753 now that the right thing to do is simply to put the xml:base on the root of
5754 the document. And that seems to work.
5756 Modified: common/stripns.xsl,1.7 - Norman Walsh
5758 ● Added support for "software" and "sectdesc" class values on refmiscinfo;
5759 "software" is treated identically to "source", and "setdesc" is treated
5760 identically to "manual".
5762 Modified: common/refentry.xsl,1.10; params/
5763 man.th.extra2.max.length.xml,1.3; params/
5764 refentry.source.name.profile.xml,1.4 - Michael(tm) Smith
5766 ● Added support for DocBook 5 namespace-stripping in manpages stylesheet.
5767 Closes request #1210692.
5769 Modified: common/common.xsl,1.56; manpages/docbook.xsl,1.57 - Michael(tm)
5772 ● Added <xsl:template match="/"> to make stripns.xsl usable as a standalone
5773 stylesheet for stripping out DocBook 5/NG to DocBook 4. Note that DocBook
5774 XSLT drivers that include this stylesheet all override the match="/"
5777 Modified: common/stripns.xsl,1.4 - Michael(tm) Smith
5779 ● Number figures, examples, and tables from book if there is no prefix (i.e.
5780 if chapter.autolabel is set to 0). This avoids having the list of figures
5781 where the figures mysteriously restart their numeration periodically when
5782 chapter.autolabel is set to 0.
5784 Modified: common/labels.xsl,1.36 - David Cramer
5786 ● Add task template in title.markup mode.
5788 Modified: common/titles.xsl,1.34 - Robert Stayton
5790 ● Add children (with ids) of formal objects to target data.
5792 Modified: common/targets.xsl,1.10 - Robert Stayton
5794 ● Added support for case when personname doesn't contain specific name markup
5795 (as allowed in DocBook 5.0)
5797 Modified: common/common.xsl,1.54 - Jirka Kosek
5801 The following changes have been made to the extensions code since the 1.69.1

5824 ● Handle the case where the imageFn is actually a URI. This still needs work.
5826 Modified: extensions/saxon643/com/nwalsh/saxon/ImageIntrinsics.java,1.4 -
5831 The following changes have been made to the fo code since the 1.69.1 release.
5833 ● Adapted to the new indexing code. Now works just like a wrapper that calls
5834 kosek indexing method, originally implemented here.
5836 Modified: fo/autoidx-ng.xsl,1.5 - Jirka Kosek
5838 ● Added parameters for header/footer table minimum height.
5840 Modified: fo/pagesetup.xsl,1.60; fo/param.ent,1.100; fo/param.xweb,1.113 -
5843 ● Add the index.method parameter.
5845 Modified: fo/param.ent,1.99; fo/param.xweb,1.112 - Robert Stayton
5847 ● Integrate support for three indexing methods: - the original English-only
5848 method. - Jirka Kosek's method using EXSLT extensions. - Eliot Kimber's
5849 method using Saxon extensions. Use the 'index.method' parameter to select.
5851 Modified: fo/autoidx.xsl,1.38 - Robert Stayton
5853 ● Add support for TOC for qandaset in fo output.
5855 Modified: fo/autotoc.xsl,1.30; fo/qandaset.xsl,1.20 - Robert Stayton
5857 ● Added parameter ulink.hyphenate.chars. Added parameter insert.link
5860 Modified: fo/param.ent,1.98; fo/param.xweb,1.111 - Robert Stayton
5862 ● Implemented feature request #942524 to add insert.link.page.number to allow
5863 link element cross references to have a page number.
5865 Modified: fo/xref.xsl,1.67 - Robert Stayton
5867 ● Add support for ulink.hyphenate.chars so more characters can be break
5870 Modified: fo/xref.xsl,1.66 - Robert Stayton
5872 ● Implemented patch #1075144 to make the url text in a ulink in FO output an
5873 active link as well.
5875 Modified: fo/xref.xsl,1.65 - Robert Stayton
5877 ● table footnotes now have their own table.footnote.properties attribute set.
5879 Modified: fo/footnote.xsl,1.23 - Robert Stayton

5905 Modified: fo/param.ent,1.96; fo/param.xweb,1.109 - Robert Stayton
5907 ● Refactored table templates to unify their processing and support all
5908 options in all types. Now table and informaltable, in both Cals and Html
5909 markup, use the same templates where possible, and all support pgwide,
5910 rotation, and floats. There is also a placeholder table.container template
5911 to support wrapping a table in a layout table, so the XEP table title
5912 "continued" extension can be more easily implemented.
5914 Modified: fo/formal.xsl,1.52; fo/htmltbl.xsl,1.9; fo/table.xsl,1.48 -

5927 Modified: fo/formal.xsl,1.51 - Robert Stayton
5929 ● Add pgwide.properties attribute-set.
5931 Modified: fo/param.ent,1.94; fo/param.xweb,1.107 - Robert Stayton
5933 ● Added refclass.suppress param.
5935 If the value of refclass.suppress is non-zero, then display refclass
5936 contents is suppressed in output. Affects HTML and FO output only.
5938 Modified: fo/param.ent,1.93; fo/param.xweb,1.106; html/param.ent,1.90; html

5946 it can more easily be discerned where one ends and the other begins. Closes
5949 Modified: fo/synop.xsl,1.18 - Michael(tm) Smith
5951 ● Made handling of paramdef/parameter in FO output consistent with that in
5952 HTML and manpages output. Closes #1213259.
5954 Modified: fo/synop.xsl,1.17 - Michael(tm) Smith
5956 ● Made handling of Refnamediv consistent with formatting in HTML and manpages
5957 output; specifically, changed so that Refname (comma-separated list of
5958 multiple instances found) is used (instead of Refentrytitle as previously),
5959 then em-dash, then the Refpurpose. Closes #1212562.
5961 Modified: fo/refentry.xsl,1.30 - Michael(tm) Smith
5963 ● Added output of Releaseinfo to recto titlepage ("copyright" page) for Book
5964 in FO output. This makes it consistent with HTML output. Closes #1327034.
5965 Thanks to Paul DuBois for reporting.
5967 Modified: fo/titlepage.templates.xml,1.28 - Michael(tm) Smith
5969 ● Added condition for setting block-progression-dimension.minimum on
5970 table-row, instead of height, when fop1.extensions is non-zero. For an
5971 explanation of the reason for the change, see: http://wiki.apache.org/

5974 Modified: fo/pagesetup.xsl,1.59 - Michael(tm) Smith
5976 ● Added new refclass.suppress param for suppressing display of Refclass in
5977 HTML and FO output. Did not add it to manpages because manpages stylesheet
5978 is currently just silently ignoring Refclass anyway. Closes request #
5979 1461065. Thanks to Davor Ocelic (docelic) for reporting.

6046 ● Generate localized title for Refsynopsisdiv if no appropriate Title
6047 descendant found in source. Closes #1212398. This change makes behavior for
6048 the Synopsis title consistent with the behavior of HTML and manpages
6051 Also, added xsl:use-attribute-sets="normal.para.spacing" to block generated
6052 for Cmdsynopsis output. Previously, that block had no spacing at all
6053 specified, which resulted it being crammed up to closely to the Synopsis

6069 doc). Also, moved the existing FO "Cross References" section to follow the
6072 Modified: fo/param.xweb,1.101; html/param.xweb,1.95 - Michael(tm) Smith
6074 ● Added ID attribues to all Reference elements (e.g., id="tables" for the doc
6075 for section on Table params). So pages for all subsections of ref docs now
6076 have stable filenames instead of arbitrary generated filenames.
6078 Modified: fo/param.xweb,1.100; html/param.xweb,1.94 - Michael(tm) Smith
6080 ● Added two new parameters for handling of multi-term varlistentry elements:
6082 variablelist.term.break.after: When the variablelist.term.break.after is
6083 non-zero, it will generate a line break after each term multi-term
6086 variablelist.term.separator: When a varlistentry contains multiple term
6087 elements, the string specified in the value of the
6088 variablelist.term.separator parameter is placed after each term except the
6089 last. The default is ", " (a comma followed by a space). To suppress
6090 rendering of the separator, set the value of variablelist.term.separator to
6091 the empty string ("").
6093 These parameters are primarily intended to be useful if you have multi-term
6094 varlistentries that have long terms.
6096 Closes #1306676. Thanks to Sam Steingold for providing an example "lots of
6097 long terms" doc that demonstrated the value of having these options.
6099 Also, added normalize-space() call to processing of each term.
6101 This change affects all output formats (HTML, PDF, manpages). The default
6102 behavior should pretty much remain the same as before, but it is possible
6103 (as always) that the change may introduce some new bugginess.

6136 xep.extensions=1. Appearance of crop marks can be controlled by parameters
6137 crop.mark.bleed (6pt), crop.mark.offset (24pt) and crop.mark.width (0.5pt).
6139 Also there is new named template called user-xep-pis. You can overwrite it

6152 ● implemented index.method parameter and three methods.
6154 Modified: html/autoidx.xsl,1.28 - Robert Stayton
6156 ● added index.method parameter to support 3 indexing methods.

6161 including external HTML content into HTML output.
6163 Modified: html/pi.xsl,1.9 - Robert Stayton
6165 ● Added new parameter chunk.tocs.and.lots.has.title which controls presence
6166 of title in a separate chunk with ToC/LoT. Disabling title can be very
6167 useful if you are generating frameset output (well, yes those frames, but
6168 some customers really want them ;-).

6183 informalfigure, informalexample, and informalequation.
6185 Modified: html/formal.xsl,1.22 - Robert Stayton
6187 ● Added the autotoc.label.in.hyperlink param.
6189 If the value of autotoc.label.in.hyperlink is non-zero, labels are included
6190 in hyperlinked titles in the TOC. If it is instead zero, labels are still
6191 displayed prior to the hyperlinked titles, but are not hyperlinked along

6200 ● Added two new params: html.head.legalnotice.link.types and html.head.
6201 legalnotice.link.multiple.
6203 If the value of the generate.legalnotice.link is non-zero, then the
6204 stylesheet generates (in the head section of the HTML source) either a
6205 single HTML link element or, if the value of the html.head.legalnotice.link
6206 .multiple is non-zero, one link element for each link type specified. Each
6207 link has the following attributes:
6209 - a rel attribute whose value is derived from the value of html.head.
6210 legalnotice.link.types
6212 - an href attribute whose value is set to the URL of the file containing
6215 - a title attribute whose value is set to the title of the corresponding
6216 legalnotice (or a title programatically determined by the stylesheet)
6220 <link rel="copyright" href="ln-id2524073.html" title="Legal Notice">

6242 HTML and FO output. Did not add it to manpages because manpages stylesheet
6243 is currently just silently ignoring Refclass anyway. Closes request #
6244 1461065. Thanks to Davor Ocelic (docelic) for reporting.

6250 Modified: html/graphics.xsl,1.57 - Robert Stayton
6252 ● Content of citation element is automatically linked to the bibliographic
6253 entry with the corresponding abbrev.

6266 ● Add support for floatstyle to figure.
6268 Modified: html/formal.xsl,1.21 - Robert Stayton
6270 ● Handling of xref to area/areaset need support in extensions code also. I
6271 currently have no time to touch extensions code, so code is here to be
6272 enabled when extension is fixed also.
6274 Modified: html/xref.xsl,1.56 - Jirka Kosek
6276 ● Added 3 parameters for overriding gentext for index punctuation.
6278 Modified: html/param.ent,1.89; html/param.xweb,1.98 - Robert Stayton
6280 ● Added parameters to support localization of index item punctuation. Added
6281 index.separator named template to compute the separator punctuation based
6284 Modified: html/autoidx.xsl,1.27 - Robert Stayton
6286 ● Added a <div class="{$class}-contents"> wrapper around output of contents
6287 of all formal objects. Also, added an optional <br class="{class}-break"/>
6288 linebreak after all formal objects.
6290 WARNING: Because this change places an additional DIV between the DIV
6291 wrapper for the equation and the equation contents, it may break some
6292 existing CSS stylesheets that have been created with the assumption that
6293 there would never be an intervening DIV there.
6295 The following is an example of what Equation output looks like as a result
6296 of the changes described above.
6298 <div class="equation"> <a name="three" id="three"></a>
6300 <p class="title"><b>(1.3)</b></p>
6302 <div class="equation-contents"> <span class="mathphrase">1+1=3</span> </
6303 div> </div><br class="equation-break">
6305 Rationale: These changes allow CSS control of the placement of the
6306 formal-object title relative to the formal-object contents. For example,
6307 using the CSS "float" property enables the title and contents to be
6308 rendered on the same line. Example stylesheet:
6310 .equation { margin-top: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; } .equation-contents {
6313 .equation .title { margin-top: 0; float: right; margin-right: 200px; }
6315 .equation .title b { font-weight: normal; }
6317 .equation-break { clear: both; }
6319 Note that the purpose of the ".equation-break" class is to provide a way to
6320 clear off the floats.
6322 If you want to instead have the equation title rendered to the left of the
6323 equation contents, you can do something like this:
6325 .equation { margin-top: 20px; width: 300px; margin-bottom: 20px; }
6326 .equation-contents { float: right; }
6328 .equation .title { margin-top: 0; float: left; margin-right: 200px; }
6330 .equation .title b { font-weight: normal; }
6332 .equation-break { clear: both; }
6334 Modified: html/formal.xsl,1.20 - Michael(tm) Smith
6336 ● Added a chunker.output.quiet top-level parameter so that the chunker can be
6337 made quiet by default
6339 Modified: html/chunker.xsl,1.26 - Norman Walsh
6341 ● Added support for link, olink, and xref within OO Classsynopsis and

6357 URI (as calculated from xml:base) in the img src attribute, us the value
6358 the author specified. Note that we still have to calculate the absolute
6359 filename for use in the image intrinsics extension.

6372 ● Added two new parameters for handling of multi-term varlistentry elements:
6374 variablelist.term.break.after: When the variablelist.term.break.after is
6375 non-zero, it will generate a line break after each term multi-term
6378 variablelist.term.separator: When a varlistentry contains multiple term
6379 elements, the string specified in the value of the
6380 variablelist.term.separator parameter is placed after each term except the
6381 last. The default is ", " (a comma followed by a space). To suppress
6382 rendering of the separator, set the value of variablelist.term.separator to
6383 the empty string ("").
6385 These parameters are primarily intended to be useful if you have multi-term
6386 varlistentries that have long terms.
6388 Closes #1306676. Thanks to Sam Steingold for providing an example "lots of
6389 long terms" doc that demonstrated the value of having these options.
6391 Also, added normalize-space() call to processing of each term.
6393 This change affects all output formats (HTML, PDF, manpages). The default
6394 behavior should pretty much remain the same as before, but it is possible
6395 (as always) that the change may introduce some new bugginess.

6413 The following changes have been made to the manpages code since the 1.69.1
6416 ● Added the following params:
6418 - man.indent.width (string-valued) - man.indent.refsect (boolean) -
6419 man.indent.blurbs (boolean) - man.indent.lists (boolean) -
6420 man.indent.verbatims (boolean)
6422 Note that in earlier snapshots, man.indent.width was named
6423 man.indentation.default.value and the boolean params had names like
6424 man.indentation.*.adjust. Also the man.indent.blurbs param was called
6425 man.indentation.authors.adjust (or something).
6427 The behavior now is: If the value of a particular man.indent.* boolean
6428 param is non-zero, the corresponding contents (refsect*, list items,
6429 authorblurb/personblurb, vervatims) are displayed with a left margin
6430 indented by a width equal to the value of man.indent.width.

6450 man.output.subdirs.enabled parameters.
6452 The man.output.base.dir parameter specifies the base directory into which
6453 man-page files are output. The man.output.subdirs.enabled parameter
6454 controls whether the files are output in subdirectories within the base
6457 The values of the man.output.base.dir and man.output.subdirs.enabled
6458 parameters are used only if the value of man.output.in.separate.dir
6459 parameter is non-zero. If the value of man.output.in.separate.dir is zero,
6460 man-page files are not output in a separate directory.

6485 If the value of man.segtitle.suppress is non-zero, then display of segtitle
6486 contents is suppressed in output.

6494 pages generated by the stylesheet transformation is written to the file
6495 named by man.output.manifest.filename

6503 ● Added refentry.meta.get.quietly param.
6505 If zero (the default), notes and warnings about "missing" markup are
6506 generated during gathering of refentry metadata. If non-zero, the metadata
6507 is gathered "quietly" -- that is, the notes and warnings are suppressed.
6509 NOTE: If you are processing a large amount of refentry content, you may be
6510 able to speed up processing significantly by setting a non-zero value for
6511 refentry.meta.get.quietly.

6518 discarded individual man.indent.*.value params and switched to just using a
6519 common man.indent.width param (3n by default).

6526 man files are output in separate directory.
6528 Modified: manpages/docbook.xsl,1.65; manpages/utility.xsl,1.14 - Michael
6531 ● Added options for controlling indentation of verbatim output. Controlled
6532 through the man.indentation.verbatims.adjust and
6533 man.indentation.verbatims.value params. Closes #1242997
6535 Modified: manpages/block.xsl,1.15; manpages/docbook.xsl,1.64 - Michael(tm)
6538 ● Added options for controlling indentation in lists and in *blurb output in
6539 the AUTHORS section. Controlled through the man.indentation.lists.adjust,
6540 man.indentation.lists.value, man.indentation.authors.adjust, and
6541 man.indentation.authors.value parameters. Default is 3 characters (instead
6542 of the roff default of 8 characters). Closes #1449369.
6544 Also, removed the indent that was being set on informalexample outuput. I
6545 will instead add an option for indenting verbatims, which I think is what
6546 the informalexample indent was intended for originally.

6552 specified) instead of plain ".sp -1"
6554 Modified: manpages/synop.xsl,1.28 - Michael(tm) Smith
6556 ● Added support for writing man files into a specific output directory and
6557 into appropriate subdirectories within that output directory. Controlled
6558 through the man.base.dir parameter (similar to the base.dir support in the
6559 HTML stylesheet) and the man.subdirs.enabled parameter, which automatically
6560 determines the name of an appropriate subdir (for example, man/man7, man/
6561 man1, etc.) based on the section number/manvolnum of the source Refentry.
6563 Closes #1255036 and #1170317. Thanks to Denis Bradford for the original
6564 feature request, and to Costin Stroie for submitting a patch that was very
6565 helpful in implementing the support.

6574 docbook.xsl,1.61; manpages/other.xsl,1.17 - Michael(tm) Smith
6576 ● Added support for copyright and legalnotice. The manpages stylesheets now
6577 output a COPYRIGHT section, after the AUTHORS section, if a copyright or
6578 legalnotice is found in the source. The section contains the copyright
6579 contents followed by the legalnotice contents. Closes #1450209.
6581 Modified: manpages/docbook.xsl,1.59; manpages/info.xsl,1.17 - Michael(tm)
6584 ● Drastically reworked all of the XPath expressions used in refentry metadata
6585 gathering -- completely removed $parentinfo and turned $info into a set of
6586 nodes that includes the *info contents of the Refentry plus the *info
6587 contents all all of its ancestor elements. The basic XPath expression now
6588 used throughout is (using the example of checking for a date):
6590 (($info[//date])[last()]/date)[1].
6592 That selects the "last" *info/date date in document order -- that is, the
6593 one eitther on the Refentry itself or on the closest ancestor to the

6612 Modified: common/common.xsl,1.56; manpages/docbook.xsl,1.57 - Michael(tm)
6615 ● Fixed handling of table footnotes. With this checkin, the table support in
6616 the manpages stylesheet is now basically feature complete. So this change
6617 closes request #619532, "No support for tables" -- the oldest currently
6618 open manpages feature request, submitted by Ben Secrest (blsecres) on
6619 2002-10-07. Congratulations to me [patting myself on the back].

6622 table.xsl,1.15 - Michael(tm) Smith
6624 ● Added handling for table titles. Also fixed handling of nested tables; nest
6625 tables are now "extracted" and displayed just after their parent tables.
6627 Modified: manpages/docbook.xsl,1.54; manpages/table.xsl,1.14 - Michael(tm)
6630 ● Added option for turning off bold formatting in Funcsynopsis. Boldface
6631 formatting in function synopsis is mandated in the man(7) man page and is
6632 used almost universally in existing man pages. Despite that, it really does
6633 look like crap to have an entire Funcsynopsis output in bold, so I added
6634 params for turning off the bold formatting and/or replacing it with a
6635 different roff special font (e.g., "RI" for alternating roman/italic
6636 instead of the default "BI" for alternating bold/italic). The new params
6637 are "man.funcprototype.font" and "man.funcsynopsisinfo.font". To be

6646 ● Use AUTHORS instead of AUTHOR if we have multiple people to attribute.
6647 Also, fixed checking such that we generate author section even if we don't
6648 have an author (as long as there is at least one other person/entity we can
6649 put in the section). Also adjusted assembly of content for Author metainfo
6650 field such that we now not only use author, but try to find a "best match"
6651 if we can't find an author name to put there.
6653 Closes #1233592. Thanks to Sam Steingold for the request.
6655 Modified: manpages/info.xsl,1.12 - Michael(tm) Smith
6657 ● Changes for request #1243027, "Impove handling of AUTHOR section." This
6658 adds support for Collab, Corpauthor, Corpcredt, Orgname, Publishername, and
6659 Publisher. Also adds support for output of Affiliation and its children,
6660 and support for using gentext strings for auto-attributing roles (Author,
6661 Editor, Publisher, Translator, etc.). Also did a lot of code cleanup and
6662 modularization of all the AUTHOR handling code. And fixed a bug that was
6663 causing Author info to not be picked up correctly for metainfo comment we
6664 embed in man-page source.
6666 Modified: manpages/info.xsl,1.11 - Michael(tm) Smith
6668 ● Support bold output for "emphasis remap='B'". (because Eric Raymond's
6669 doclifter(1) tool converts groff source marked up with ".B" request or "\
6670 fB" escapes to DocBook "emphasis remap='B'".)
6672 Modified: manpages/inline.xsl,1.14 - Michael(tm) Smith
6674 ● Added support for Segmentedlist. Details: Output is tabular, with no option
6675 for "list" type output. Output for Segtitle elements can be supressed by
6676 setting man.segtitle.suppress. If Segtitle content is output, it is
6677 rendered in italic type (not bold because not all terminals support bold
6678 and so italic ensures the stand out on those terminals). Extra space (.sp
6679 line) at end of table code ensures that it gets handled correctly in the
6680 case where its source is the child of a Para. Closes feature-request #
6681 1400097. Thanks to Daniel Leidert for the patch and push, and to Alastair
6682 Rankine for filing the original feature request.

6696 other.xsl,1.12; manpages/utility.xsl,1.6 - Michael(tm) Smith
6698 ● Added two new parameters for handling of multi-term varlistentry elements:
6700 variablelist.term.break.after: When the variablelist.term.break.after is
6701 non-zero, it will generate a line break after each term multi-term
6704 variablelist.term.separator: When a varlistentry contains multiple term
6705 elements, the string specified in the value of the
6706 variablelist.term.separator parameter is placed after each term except the
6707 last. The default is ", " (a comma followed by a space). To suppress
6708 rendering of the separator, set the value of variablelist.term.separator to
6709 the empty string ("").
6711 These parameters are primarily intended to be useful if you have multi-term
6712 varlistentries that have long terms.
6714 Closes #1306676. Thanks to Sam Steingold for providing an example "lots of
6715 long terms" doc that demonstrated the value of having these options.
6717 Also, added normalize-space() call to processing of each term.
6719 This change affects all output formats (HTML, PDF, manpages). The default
6720 behavior should pretty much remain the same as before, but it is possible
6721 (as always) that the change may introduce some new bugginess.

6763 ● Added new parameter chunk.tocs.and.lots.has.title which controls presence
6764 of title in a separate chunk with ToC/LoT. Disabling title can be very
6765 useful if you are generating frameset output (well, yes those frames, but

6787 If the value of autotoc.label.in.hyperlink is non-zero, labels are included
6788 in hyperlinked titles in the TOC. If it is instead zero, labels are still
6789 displayed prior to the hyperlinked titles, but are not hyperlinked along

6798 ● Added two new params: html.head.legalnotice.link.types and html.head.
6799 legalnotice.link.multiple.
6801 If the value of the generate.legalnotice.link is non-zero, then the
6802 stylesheet generates (in the head section of the HTML source) either a
6803 single HTML link element or, if the value of the html.head.legalnotice.link
6804 .multiple is non-zero, one link element for each link type specified. Each
6805 link has the following attributes:
6807 - a rel attribute whose value is derived from the value of html.head.
6808 legalnotice.link.types
6810 - an href attribute whose value is set to the URL of the file containing
6813 - a title attribute whose value is set to the title of the corresponding
6814 legalnotice (or a title programatically determined by the stylesheet)
6818 <link rel="copyright" href="ln-id2524073.html" title="Legal Notice">

6827 ● Added the following params:
6829 - man.indent.width (string-valued) - man.indent.refsect (boolean) -
6830 man.indent.blurbs (boolean) - man.indent.lists (boolean) -
6831 man.indent.verbatims (boolean)
6833 Note that in earlier snapshots, man.indent.width was named
6834 man.indentation.default.value and the boolean params had names like
6835 man.indentation.*.adjust. Also the man.indent.blurbs param was called
6836 man.indentation.authors.adjust (or something).
6838 The behavior now is: If the value of a particular man.indent.* boolean
6839 param is non-zero, the corresponding contents (refsect*, list items,
6840 authorblurb/personblurb, vervatims) are displayed with a left margin
6841 indented by a width equal to the value of man.indent.width.

6860 ● Added the man.output.in.separate.dir, man.output.base.dir, and
6861 man.output.subdirs.enabled parameters.
6863 The man.output.base.dir parameter specifies the base directory into which
6864 man-page files are output. The man.output.subdirs.enabled parameter
6865 controls whether the files are output in subdirectories within the base
6868 The values of the man.output.base.dir and man.output.subdirs.enabled
6869 parameters are used only if the value of man.output.in.separate.dir
6870 parameter is non-zero. If the value of man.output.in.separate.dir is zero,
6871 man-page files are not output in a separate directory.

6929 generated during gathering of refentry metadata. If non-zero, the metadata
6930 is gathered "quietly" -- that is, the notes and warnings are suppressed.
6932 NOTE: If you are processing a large amount of refentry content, you may be

6973 ● Added option for turning off bold formatting in Funcsynopsis. Boldface
6974 formatting in function synopsis is mandated in the man(7) man page and is
6975 used almost universally in existing man pages. Despite that, it really does
6976 look like crap to have an entire Funcsynopsis output in bold, so I added
6977 params for turning off the bold formatting and/or replacing it with a
6978 different roff special font (e.g., "RI" for alternating roman/italic
6979 instead of the default "BI" for alternating bold/italic). The new params
6980 are "man.funcprototype.font" and "man.funcsynopsisinfo.font". To be
6983 Closes #1452247. Thanks to Joe Orton for the feature request.

7031 ● Added two new parameters for handling of multi-term varlistentry elements:
7033 variablelist.term.break.after: When the variablelist.term.break.after is
7034 non-zero, it will generate a line break after each term multi-term
7037 variablelist.term.separator: When a varlistentry contains multiple term
7038 elements, the string specified in the value of the
7039 variablelist.term.separator parameter is placed after each term except the
7040 last. The default is ", " (a comma followed by a space). To suppress
7041 rendering of the separator, set the value of variablelist.term.separator to
7042 the empty string ("").
7044 These parameters are primarily intended to be useful if you have multi-term
7045 varlistentries that have long terms.
7047 Closes #1306676. Thanks to Sam Steingold for providing an example "lots of
7048 long terms" doc that demonstrated the value of having these options.
7050 Also, added normalize-space() call to processing of each term.
7052 This change affects all output formats (HTML, PDF, manpages). The default
7053 behavior should pretty much remain the same as before, but it is possible
7054 (as always) that the change may introduce some new bugginess.

7104 The following changes have been made to the profiling code since the 1.69.1
7107 ● Profiling now works together with namespace stripping (V5 documents).
7108 Namespace striping should work with all stylesheets named profile-, even if
7109 they are not supporting namespace stripping in a non-profiling variant.

7197 This release is a minor bug-fix update to the 1.69.0 release. Along with bug
7198 fixes, it includes one configuration-parameter change: The default value of the
7199 annotation.support parameter is now 0 (off). The reason for that change is that
7200 there have been reports that annotation handling is causing a significant
7201 performance degradation in processing of large documents with xsltproc.
7205 The release includes major feature changes, particularly in the manpages
7206 stylesheets, as well as a large number of bug fixes.
7208 As with all DocBook Project “dot zero” releases, this is an experimental
7213 ● This release adds localizations for the following languages: Albanian,
7214 Amharic, Azerbaijani, Hindi, Irish (Gaelic), Gujarati, Kannada, Mongolian,
7215 Oriya, Punjabi, Tagalog, Tamil, and Welsh.
7217 ● Added support for specifying number format for auto labels for chapter,
7218 appendix, part, and preface. Contolled with the appendix.autolabel,
7219 chapter.autolabel, part.autolabel, and preface.autolabel parameters.
7221 ● Added basic support for biblioref cross referencing.
7223 ● Added support for align on caption in mediaobject.
7225 ● Added support for processing documents that use the DocBook V5 namespace.
7227 ● Added support for termdef and mathphrase.
7229 ● EXPERIMENTAL: Incorporated the Slides and Website stylesheets into the
7230 DocBook XSL stylesheets package. So, for example, Website documents can now
7231 be processed using the following URI for the driver Website tabular.xsl
7234 http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/website/tabular.xsl
7236 ● A procedure without a title is now treated as an “informal” procedure
7237 (meaning that it is not added to any generated “list of procedures” and has
7238 no affect on numbering of generated labels for other procedures).
7240 ● docname is no longer added to olink when pointing to a root element.
7242 ● Added support for generation of choice separator in inline simplelist. This
7243 enables auto-generation of an appropriate localized “choice separator” (for
7244 example, “and” or “or”) before the final item in an inline simplelist.
7246 To indicate that you want a choice separator generated for a particular
7247 list, you need to put a processing instruction (PI) of the form <?
7248 dbchoice choice="foo"?> as a child of the list. For example:
7251 ONE and ONLY ONE of the following:
7252 <simplelist type="inline">
7253 <?dbchoice choice="or" ?>
7256 <member>C</member>.</simplelist></para>
7258 Output (for English):
7260 Choose from ONE and only ONE of the following choices: A, B, or C.
7262 As a temporary workaround for the fact that most of the DocBook non-English
7263 locale files don't have a localization for the word “or”, you can put in a
7264 literal string to be used; example for French: <?dbchoice choice="ou">.
7265 That is, use “ou” instead of “or”.
7269 ● Added content-type property to external-graphic element, based on imagedata
7272 ● Added support for generating <rx:meta-field creator="$VERSION"/> field for
7273 XEP output. This makes the DocBook XSL stylesheet version information
7274 available through the Document Properties menu in Acrobat Reader and other
7277 ● Trademark symbol handling made consistent with handling of same in HTML
7278 stylesheets. Prior to this change, if you processed a document that
7279 contained no value for the class attribute on the trademark element, the
7280 HTML stylesheets would default to rendering a superscript TM symbol after
7281 the trademark contents, but the FO stylesheets would render nothing.
7283 ● Added support for generating XEP bookmarks for refentry.
7285 ● Added support for HTML markup table border attribute, applied to each table
7288 ● The table.width template can now sum column specs if none use % or *.
7290 ● Added fox:destination extension inside fox:outline to support linking to
7291 internal destinations.
7293 ● Added support for customizing abstract with property sets. Controlled with
7294 the abstract.properties and abstract.title.properties parameters.
7296 ● Add footnotes in table title to table footnote set, and add support for
7297 table footnotes to HTML table markup.
7299 ● Added support for title in glosslist.
7301 ● Added support for itemizedlist symbol none.
7303 ● Implemented the new graphical.admonition.properties and
7304 nongraphical.admonition.properties attribute sets.
7306 ● Added id to formalpara and some other blocks that were missing it.
7308 ● Changed the anchor template to output fo:inline instead of fo:wrapper.
7310 ● Added support for toc.max.depth parameter.
7314 ● Eclipse Help: Added support for generating olink database.
7318 ● Added a first cut at support in HTML output for DocBook 5 style annotation
7319 s. Controlled using the annotation.support parameter, and implemented using
7320 JavaScript and CSS styling. For more details, see the documentation for the
7321 annotation.js, annotation.css, annotation.graphic.open, and
7322 annotation.graphic.close parameters.
7324 ● Generate client-side image map for imageobjectco with areas using calspair
7327 ● Added support for <?img.src.path?> PI.
7329 ● Added support for passing img.src.path to DocBook Java XSLT image
7330 extensions when appropriate. Controlled using the
7331 graphicsize.use.img.src.path parameter.
7333 ● Added support for (not valid for DocBook 4) xlink:href on area and (not
7334 valid for DocBook 4) alt in area.
7336 ● Added new parameter default.table.frame to control table framing if there
7337 is no frame attribute on a table.
7339 ● Added initial, experimental support for generating content for the HTML
7340 title attribute from content of the alt element. This change adds support
7341 for the following inline elements only (none of them are block elements):
7342 abbrev, accel, acronym, action, application, authorinitials, beginpage,
7343 citation, citerefentry, citetitle, city, classname, code, command,
7344 computeroutput, constant, country, database, email, envar, errorcode,

7349 markup, medialabel, methodname, mousebutton, option, optional, otheraddr,
7350 othername, package, parameter, personname, phone, pob, postcode,
7351 productname, productnumber, prompt, property, quote, refentrytitle, remark,
7352 replaceable, returnvalue, tag, shortcut, state, street, structfield,
7353 structname, subscript, superscript, surname, symbol, systemitem, tag,
7354 termdef, token, trademark, type, uri, userinput, varname, and wordasword
7356 ● Added support for chunking revhistory into separate file (similar to the
7357 support for doing same with legalnotice). Patch from Thomas Schraitle.
7358 Controlled through new generate.revhistory.link parameter.
7360 ● l10n.xsl: Made language codes RFC compliant. Added a new boolean config
7361 parameter, l10n.lang.value.rfc.compliant. If it is non-zero (the default),
7362 any underscore in a language code will be converted to a hyphen in HTML
7363 output. If it is zero, the language code will be left as-is.
7367 This release closes out 44 manpages stylesheet bug reports and feature
7368 requests. It adds more than 35 new configuration parameters for controlling
7369 aspects of man-page output -- including hyphenation and justification, handling
7370 of links, conversion of Unicode characters, and contents of man-page headers
7373 ● New options for globally disabling/enabling hyphenation and justification:
7374 man.justify and man.hyphenate.
7376 Note that the default for the both of those is zero (off), because
7377 justified text looks good only when it is also hyphenated; to quote the
7378 “Hyphenation” node from the groff info page:
7380 Since the odds are not great for finding a set of words, for every
7381 output line, which fit nicely on a line without inserting excessive
7382 amounts of space between words, `gtroff' hyphenates words so that it
7383 can justify lines without inserting too much space between words.
7385 The problem is that groff can end up hyphenating a lot of things that you
7386 don't want hyphenated (variable names and command names, for example).
7387 Keeping both justification and hyphenation disabled ensures that hyphens
7388 won't get inserted where you don't want to them, and you don't end up with
7389 lines containing excessive amounts of space between words. These default
7390 settings run counter to how most existing man pages are formatted. But
7391 there are some notable exceptions, such as the perl man pages.
7393 ● Added parameters for controlling hyphenation of computer inlines,
7394 filenames, and URLs. By default, even when hyphenation is enabled
7395 (globally), hyphenation is now suppressed for "computer inlines"
7396 (currently, just classname, constant, envar, errorcode, option, replaceable
7397 , userinput, type, and varname, and for filenames, and for URLs from link.
7398 It can be (re)enabled using the man.hyphenate.computer.inlines,
7399 man.hyphenate.filenames, and man.hyphenate.urls parameters.
7401 ● Implemented a new system for replacing Unicode characters. There are two
7402 parts to the new system: a “string substitution map” for doing “essential”
7403 replacements, and a “character map” that can optionally be disabled and
7406 The new system fixes all open bugs that had to do with literal Unicode
7407 numbered entities such as “ and ” showing up in output, and
7408 greatly expands the ability of the stylesheets to generate “good” roff
7409 equivalents for Unicode symbols and special characters.
7411 Here are some details...
7413 The previous manpages mechanism for replacing Unicode symbols and special
7414 characters with roff equivalents (the replace-entities template) was not
7415 scalable and not complete. The mechanism handled a somewhat arbitrary
7416 selection of less than 20 or so Unicode characters. But there are
7417 potentially more than 800 Unicode special characters that have some groff
7418 equivalent they can be mapped to. And there are about 34 symbols in the
7419 Latin-1 (ISO-8859-1) block alone. Users might reasonably expect that if
7420 they include any of those Latin-1 characters in their DocBook source
7421 documents, they will get correctly converted to known roff equivalents in
7424 In addition to those common symbols, certain users may have a need to use
7425 symbols from other Unicode blocks. Say, somebody who is documenting an
7426 application related to math might need to use a bunch of symbols from the
7427 “Mathematical Operators” Unicode block (there are about 65 characters in
7428 that block that have reasonable roff equivalents). Or somebody else might
7429 really like Dingbats -- such as the checkmark character -- and so might use
7430 a bunch of things from the “Dingbat” block (141 characters in that that
7431 have roff equivalents or that can at least be “degraded” somewhat
7432 gracefully into roff).
7434 So, the old replace-entities mechanism was replaced with a completely
7435 different mechanism that is based on use of two “maps”: a “substitution
7436 map” and a “character map” (the latter in a format compliant with the XSLT
7437 2.0 spec and therefore completely “forward compatible” with XSLT 2.0).
7439 The substitution map is controlled through the man.string.subst.map
7440 parameter, and is used to replace things like the backslash character
7441 (which needs special handling to prevent it from being interpreted as a
7442 roff escape). The substitution map cannot be disabled, because disabling it
7443 will cause the output to be broken. However, you can add to it and change
7446 The “character map” mechanism, on the other hand, can be completely
7447 disabled. It is enabled by default, and, by default, does replacement of
7448 all Latin-1 symbols, along with most special spaces, dashes, and quotes
7449 (about 75 characters by default). Also, you can optionally enable a “full”
7450 character map that provides support for converting all 800 or so of the
7451 characters that have some reasonable groff equivalent.
7453 The character-map mechanism is controlled through the following parameters:
7457 turns character-map support on/off
7459 man.charmap.use.subset
7461 specifies that a subset of the character map is used instead of the
7464 man.charmap.subset.profile
7466 specifies profile of character-map subset
7470 specifies an alternate character map to use instead of the “standard”
7471 character map provided in the distribution
7473 ● Implemented out-of-line handling of display of URLs for links (currently,
7474 only for ulink). This gives you three choices for handling of links:
7476 1. Number and list links. Each link is numbered inline, with a number in
7477 square brackets preceding the link contents, and a numbered list of all
7478 links is added to the end of the document.
7480 2. Only list links. Links are not numbered, but an (unnumbered) list of
7481 links is added to the end of the document.
7483 3. Suppress links. Don't number links and don't add any list of links to
7484 the end of the document.
7486 You can also choose whether links should be underlined. The default is “the
7487 works” -- list, number, and underline links. You can use the
7488 man.links.list.enabled, man.links.are.numbered, and
7489 man.links.are.underlined parameters to change the defaults. The default
7490 heading for the link list is REFERENCES. You can be change that using the
7491 man.links.list.heading parameter.
7493 ● Changed default output encoding to UTF-8. This does not mean that man pages
7494 are output in raw UTF-8, because the character map is applied before final
7495 output, causing all UTF-8 characters covered in the map to be converted to
7498 ● Added support for processing refsect3 and formalpara and nested refsection
7499 elements, down to any arbitrary level of nesting.
7501 ● Output of the NAME and SYNOPSIS and AUTHOR headings and the headings for
7502 admonitions (note, caution, etc.) are no longer hard-coded for English.
7503 Instead, headings are generated for those in the correct locale (just as
7504 the FO and HTML stylesheets do).
7506 ● Re-worked mechanism for assembling page headers/footers (the contents of
7507 the .TH macro “title line”).
7509 Here are some details...
7511 All man pages contain a .TH roff macro whose contents are used for
7512 rendering the “title line” displayed in the header and footer of each page.
7513 Here are a couple of examples of real-world man pages that have useful page
7516 gtk-options(7) GTK+ User's Manual gtk-options(7) <-- header
7517 GTK+ 1.2 2003-10-20 gtk-options(7) <-- footer
7519 svgalib(7) Svgalib User Manual svgalib(7) <-- header
7520 Svgalib 1.4.1 16 December 1999 svgalib(7) <-- footer
7522 And here are the terms with which the groff_man(7) man page refers to the
7523 various parts of the header/footer:
7525 title(section) extra3 title(section) <- header
7526 extra2 extra1 title(section) <- footer
7528 Or, using the names with which the man(7) man page refers to those same
7531 title(section) manual title(section) <- page header
7532 source date title(section) <- page footer
7534 The easiest way to control the contents of those fields is to mark up your
7535 refentry content like the following (note that this is a “minimal”
7540 <date>2003-10-20</date> 1
7543 <refentrytitle>gtk-options</refentrytitle> 2
7544 <manvolnum>7</manvolnum> 3
7545 <refmiscinfo class="source-name">GTK+</refmiscinfo> 4
7546 <refmiscinfo class="version">1.2</refmiscinfo> 5
7547 <refmiscinfo class="manual">GTK+ User's Manual</refmiscinfo> 6
7550 <refname>gtk-options</refname>
7551 <refpurpose>Standard Command Line Options for GTK+ Programs</refpurpose>
7554 <title>Description</title>
7555 <para>This manual page describes the command line options, which
7556 are common to all GTK+ based applications.</para>
7560 1 Sets the “date” part of the header/footer.
7562 2 Sets the “title” part.
7564 3 Sets the “section” part.
7566 4 Sets the “source name” part.
7568 5 Sets the “version” part.
7570 6 Sets the “manual” part.
7572 Below are explanations of the steps the stylesheets take to attempt to
7573 assemble and display “good” headers and footer. [In the descriptions, note
7574 that *info is the refentry “info” child (whatever its name), and parentinfo
7575 is the “info” child of its parent (again, whatever its name).]
7579 Content of the “extra1” field is what shows up in the center footer
7580 position of each page. The man(7) man page describes it as “the date of
7583 To provide this content, if the refentry.date.profile.enabled is
7584 non-zero, the stylesheets check the value of refentry.date.profile.
7586 Otherwise, by default, they check for a date or pubdate not only in the
7587 *info contents, but also in the parentinfo contents.
7589 If a date cannot be found, the stylesheets now automatically generate a
7590 localized “long format” date, ensuring that this field always has
7593 However, if for some reason you want to suppress this field, you can do
7594 so by setting a non-zero value for man.th.extra1.suppress.
7596 extra2 field (source)
7598 On Linux systems and on systems with a modern groff, the content of the
7599 “extra2” field are what shows up in the left footer position of each
7602 The man(7) man page describes this as “the source of the command”, and
7603 provides the following examples:
7605 ○ For binaries, use somwething like: GNU, NET-2, SLS Distribution,
7608 ○ For system calls, use the version of the kernel that you are
7609 currently looking at: Linux 0.99.11.
7611 ○ For library calls, use the source of the function: GNU, BSD 4.3,
7614 In practice, there are many pages that simply have a version number in
7615 the “source” field. So, it looks like what we have is a two-part field,
7616 Name Version, where:
7620 product name (e.g., BSD) or org. name (e.g., GNU)
7626 Each part is optional. If the Name is a product name, then the Version
7627 is probably the version of the product. Or there may be no Name, in
7628 which case, if there is a Version, it is probably the version of the
7629 item itself, not the product it is part of. Or, if the Name is an
7630 organization name, then there probably will be no Version.
7632 To provide this content, if the refentry.source.name.profile.enabled
7633 and refentry.version.profile.enabled parameter are non-zero, the
7634 stylesheets check the value of refentry.source.name.profile
7635 refentry.version.profile.
7637 Otherwise, by default, they check the following places, in the
7640 1. *info/productnumber
7642 2. *info/productnumber
7644 3. refmeta/refmiscinfo[@class = 'version']
7646 4. parentinfo/productnumber
7648 5. *info/productname
7650 6. parentinfo/productname
7652 7. refmeta/refmiscinfo
7654 8. [nothing found, so leave it empty]
7658 On Linux systems and on systems with a modern groff, the content of the
7659 “extra3” field are what shows up in the center header position of each
7660 page. Some man pages have “extra2” content, some don't. If a particular
7661 man page has it, it is most often “context” data about some larger
7662 system the documented item belongs to (for example, the name or
7663 description of a group of related applications). The stylesheets now
7664 check the following places, in the following order, to look for content
7665 to add to the “extra3” field.
7671 3. refmeta/refmiscinfo
7673 4. [nothing found, so leave it empty]
7675 ● Reworked *info gathering. For each refentry found, the stylesheets now
7676 cache its *info content, then check for any valid parent of it that might
7677 have metainfo content and cache that, if found; they then then do all
7678 further matches against those node-sets (rather than re-selecting the
7679 original *info nodes each time they are needed).
7681 ● New option for breaking strings after forward slashes. This enables long
7682 URLs and pathnames to be broken across lines. Controlled through
7683 man.break.after.slash parameter.
7685 ● Output for servicemark and trademark are now (SM) and (TM). There is a
7686 groff "\(tm" escape, but output from that is not acceptable.
7688 ● New option for controlling the length of the title part of the .TH title
7689 line. Controlled through the man.th.title.max.length parameter.
7691 ● New option for specifying output encoding of each man page; controlled with
7692 man.output.encoding (similar to the HTML chunker.output.encoding
7695 ● New option for suppressing filename messages when generating output;
7696 controlled with man.output.quietly (similar to the HTML chunk.quietly
7699 ● The text of cross-references to first-level refentry (refsect1, top-level
7700 refsection, refnamediv, and refsynopsisdiv) are now capitalized.
7702 ● Cross-references to refnamediv now use the localized NAME title instead of
7703 using the first refname child. This makes the output inconsistent with HTML
7704 and FO output, but for man-page output, it seems to make better sense to
7705 have the NAME. (It may actually make better sense to do it that way in HTML
7706 and FO output as well...)
7708 ● Added support for processing funcparams.
7710 ● Removed the space that was being output between funcdef and paramdef;
7711 example: was: float rand (void); now: float rand(void)
7713 ● Turned off bold formatting for the type element when it occurs within a
7716 ● Corrected rendering of simplelist. Any <simplelist type="inline" instance
7717 is now rendered as a comma-separated list (also with an optional localized
7718 “and” or “or” before the last item -- see description elsewhere in these
7719 release notes). Any simplelist instance whose type is not inline is
7720 rendered as a one-column vertical list (ignoring the values of the type and
7721 columns attributes if present)
7723 ● Comment added at top of roff source for each page now includes DocBook XSL
7724 stylesheets version number (as in the HTML stylesheets)
7726 ● Made change to prevent “sticky” fonts changes. Now, when the manpages
7727 stylesheets encounter node sets that need to be boldfaced or italicized,
7728 they put the \fBfoo\fR and \fIbar\fR groff bold/italic instructions
7729 separately around each node in the set.
7731 ● synop.xsl: Boldface everything in funcsynopsis output except parameters
7732 (which are in ital). The man(7) man page says:
7734 For functions, the arguments are always specified using italics, even
7735 in the SYNOPSIS section, where the rest of the function is specified in
7738 A look through the contents of the man/man2 directory shows that most (all)
7739 existing pages do follow this “everything in funcsynopsis bold” rule. That
7740 means the type content and any punctuation (parens, semicolons, varargs)
7741 also must be bolded.
7743 ● Removed code for adding backslashes before periods/dots in roff source,
7744 because backslashes in front of periods/dots in roff source are needed only
7745 in the very rare case where a period is the very first character in a line,
7746 without any space in front of it. A better way to deal with that rare case
7747 is for you to add a zero-width space in front of the offending dot(s) in
7750 ● Removed special handling of the quote element. That was hard-coded to cause
7751 anything marked up with the quote element to be output preceded by two
7752 backticks and followed by two apostrophes -- that is, that old-school
7753 kludge for generating “curly” quotes in Emacs and in X-Windows fonts. While
7754 Emacs still seems to support that, I don't think X-Windows has for a long
7755 time now. And, anyway, it looks (and has always looked) like crap when
7756 viewed on a normal tty/console. In addition, it breaks localiztion of quote
7757 . By default, quote content is output with localized quotation marks,
7758 which, depending on the locale, may or may not be left and right double
7761 ● Changed mappings for left and right single quotation marks. Those had
7762 previously been incorrectly mapped to the backtick (`) and apostrophe
7763 (&39;) characters (for kludgy reasons -- see above). They are now correctly
7764 mapped to the \(oq and \(cq roff escapes. If you want the old (broken)
7765 behavior, you need to manually change the mappings for those in the value
7766 of the man.string.subst.map parameter.
7768 ● Removed xref.xsl file. Now, of the various cross-reference elements, only
7769 the ulink element is handled differently; the rest are handled exactly as
7770 the HTML stylesheets handle them, except that no hypertext links are
7771 generated. (Because there is no equivalent hypertext mechanism is man
7774 ● New option for making “subheading dividers” in generated roff source. The
7775 dividers are not visible in the rendered man page; they are just there to
7776 make the source readable. Controlled using man.subheading.divider.
7778 ● Fixed many places where too much space was being added between lines.
7782 The release adds localization support for Farsi (thanks to Sina Heshmati) and
7783 improved support for the XLink-based DocBook NG db:link element. Other than
7784 that, it is a minor bug-fix update to the 1.68.0 release. The main thing it
7785 fixes is a build error that caused the XSLT Java extensions to be jarred up
7786 with the wrong package structure. Thanks to Jens Stavnstrup for quickly
7787 reporting the problem, and to Mauritz Jeanson for investigating and finding the
7792 This release includes some features changes, particularly for FO/PDF output,
7793 and a number of bug fixes.
7797 ● Moved footnote properties to attribute-sets.
7799 ● Added support for side floats, margin notes, and custom floats.
7801 ● Added new parameters body.start.indent and body.end.indent to the
7802 set.flow.properties template.
7804 ● Added support for xml:id
7806 ● Added support for refdescriptor.
7808 ● Added support for multiple refnamedivs.
7810 ● Added index.entry.properties attribute-set to support customization of
7813 ● Added set.flow.properties template call to each fo:flow to support
7814 customizations entry point.
7816 ● Add support for @floatstyle in figure
7818 ● Moved hardcoded properties for index division titles to the
7819 index.div.title.properties attribute-set.
7821 ● Added support for table-layout="auto" for XEP.
7823 ● Added index.div.title.properties attribute-set.
7825 ● $verbose parameter is now passed to most elements.
7827 ● Added refentry to toc in part, as it is permitted by the DocBook schema/
7830 ● Added backmatter elements and article to toc in part, since they are
7831 permitted by the DocBook schema/DTD.
7833 ● Added mode="toc" for simplesect, since it is now permitted in the toc if
7834 simplesect.in.toc is set.
7836 ● Moved hard-coded properties to nongraphical.admonintion.properties and
7837 graphical.admonition.properties attribute sets.
7839 ● Added support for sidebar-width and float-type processing instructions in
7842 ● For tables with HTML markup elements, added support for dbfo bgcolor PI,
7843 the attribute-sets named table.properties, informaltable.properties,
7844 table.table.properties, and table.cell.padding. Also added support for the
7845 templates named table.cell.properties and table.cell.block.properties so
7846 that tabstyles can be implemented. Also added support for tables containing
7847 only tr instead of tbody with tr.
7849 ● Added new paramater hyphenate.verbatim.characters which can specify
7850 characters after which a line break can occur in verbatim environments.
7851 This parameter can be used to extend the initial set of characters which
7852 contain only space and non-breakable space.
7854 ● Added itemizedlist.label.markup to enable selection of different bullet
7855 symbol. Also added several potential bullet characters, commented out by
7858 ● Enabled all id's in XEP output for external olinking.
7862 ● Added support for refdescriptor.
7864 ● Added support for multiple refnamedivs.
7866 ● Added support for xml:id
7868 ● refsynopsisdiv as a section for counting section levels
7872 ● Added new SVG admonition graphics and navigation images.
7876 This release fixes a table bug introduced in the 1.67.1 release.
7880 This release includes a number of bug fixes.
7882 The following lists provide details about API and feature changes.
7886 ● Tables: Inherited cell properties are now passed to the
7887 table.cell.properties template so they can be overridden by a
7890 ● Tables: Added support for bgcolor PI on table row element.
7892 ● TOCs: Added new parameter simplesect.in.toc; default value of 0 causes
7893 simplesect to be omitted from TOCs; to cause simplesect to be included in
7894 TOCs, you must set the value of simplesect.in.toc to 1.Comment from Norm:
7896 Simplesect elements aren't supposed to appear in the ToC at all... The
7897 use case for simplesect is when, for example, every chapter in a book
7898 ends with "Exercises" or "For More Information" sections and you don't
7899 want those to appear in the ToC.
7901 ● Sections: Reverted change that caused a variable reference to be used in a
7902 template match and rewrote code to preserve intended semantics.
7904 ● Lists: Added workaround to prevent "* 0.60 + 1em" garbage in list output
7907 ● Moved the literal attributes from component.title to the
7908 component.title.properties attribute-set so they can be customized.
7910 ● Lists: Added glossdef's first para to special handling in
7915 ● TOCs: Added new parameter simplesect.in.toc; for details, see the list of
7916 FO changes for this release.
7918 ● Indexing: Added new parameter index.prefer.titleabbrev; when set to 1,
7919 index references will use titleabbrev instead of title when available.
7923 ● Added support for generating windows-1252-encoded output using Saxon; for
7924 more details, see the list of XSL Java extensions changes for this release.
7928 ● Replaced named/numeric character-entity references for non-breaking space
7929 with groff equivalent (backslash-tilde).
7933 ● Saxon extensions: Added the Windows1252 class. It extends Saxon 6.5.x with
7934 the windows-1252 character set, which is particularly useful when
7935 generating HTML Help for Western European Languages (code from Pontus
7936 Haglund and contributed to the DocBook community by Sectra AB, Sweden).
7940 1. Make sure that the Saxon 6.5.x jar file and the jar file for the
7941 DocBook XSL Java extensions are in your CLASSPATH
7943 2. Create a DocBook XSL customization layer -- a file named
7944 mystylesheet.xsl or whatever -- that, at a minimum, contains the
7948 xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
7950 <xsl:import href="http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/htmlhelp/htmlhelp.xsl"/>
7951 <xsl:output method="html" encoding="WINDOWS-1252" indent="no"/>
7952 <xsl:param name="htmlhelp.encoding" select="'WINDOWS-1252'"></xsl:param>
7953 <xsl:param name="chunker.output.encoding" select="'WINDOWS-1252'"></xsl:param>
7954 <xsl:param name="saxon.character.representation" select="'native'"></xsl:param>
7957 Invoke Saxon with the encoding.windows-1252 Java system property set to
7958 com.nwalsh.saxon.Windows1252; for example
7961 -Dencoding.windows-1252=com.nwalsh.saxon.Windows1252 \
7962 com.icl.saxon.StyleSheet \
7963 mydoc.xml mystylesheet.xsl
7965 Or, for a more complete "real world" case showing other options you'll
7966 typically want to use:
7969 -Dencoding.windows-1252=com.nwalsh.saxon.Windows1252 \
7970 -Djavax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory=org.apache.xerces.jaxp.DocumentBuilderFactoryImpl \
7971 -Djavax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory=org.apache.xerces.jaxp.SAXParserFactoryImpl \
7972 -Djavax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory=com.icl.saxon.TransformerFactoryImpl \
7973 com.icl.saxon.StyleSheet \
7974 -x org.apache.xml.resolver.tools.ResolvingXMLReader \
7975 -y org.apache.xml.resolver.tools.ResolvingXMLReader \
7976 -r org.apache.xml.resolver.tools.CatalogResolver \
7977 mydoc.xml mystylesheet.xsl
7979 In both cases, the "mystylesheet.xsl" file should be a DocBook
7980 customization layer containing the parameters show in step 2.
7982 ● Saxon extensions: Removed Saxon 8 extensions from release package
7986 ● A number of important bug fixes.
7988 ● Added Saxon8 extensions
7990 ● Enabled dbfo table-width on entrytbl in FO output
7992 ● Added support for role=strong on emphasis in FO output
7994 ● Added new FO parameter hyphenate.verbatim that can be used to turn on
7995 "intelligent" wrapping of verbatim environments.
7997 ● Replaced all <tt></tt> output with <code></code>
7999 ● Changed admon.graphic.width template to a mode so that different
8000 admonitions can have different graphical widths.
8002 ● Deprecated the HTML shade.verbatim parameter (use CSS instead)
8004 ● Wrapped ToC refentrytitle/refname and refpurpose in span with class values.
8005 This makes it possible to style them using a CSS stylesheet.
8007 ● Use strong/em instead of b/i in HTML output
8009 ● Added support for converting Emphasis to groff italic and Emphasis role=
8010 'bold' to bold. Controlled by emphasis.propagates.style param, but not
8011 documented yet using litprog system. Will do that next (planning to add
8012 some other parameter-controllable options for hyphenation and handling of
8015 ● callout.graphics.number.limit.xml param: Changed the default from 10 to 15.
8017 ● verbatim.properties: Added hyphenate=false
8019 ● Saxon and Xalan Text.java extensions: Added support for URIResolver() on
8022 ● Added generated RELEASE-NOTES.txt file.
8024 ● Added INSTALL file (executable file for generating catalog.xml)
8026 ● Removed obsolete tools directory from package
8030 ● A number of important bug fixes.
8032 ● Now xml:base attributes that are generated by an XInclude processor are
8033 resolved for image files.
8035 ● Rewrote olink templates to support several new features.
8037 ○ Extended full olink support to FO output.
8039 ○ Add support for xrefstyle attribute in olinks.
8041 ○ New parameters to support new olink features: insert.olink.page.number,
8042 insert.olink.pdf.frag, olink.debug, olink.lang.fallback.sequence,
8043 olink.properties, prefer.internal.olink. See the reference page for
8044 each parameter for more information.
8046 ● Added index.on.type parameter for new type attribute introduced in DocBook
8047 4.3 for indexterms and index. This allows you to create multiple indices
8048 containing different categories of entries. For users of 4.2 and earlier,
8049 you can use the new parameter index.on.role instead.
8051 ● Added new section.autolabel.max.depth parameter to turn off section
8052 numbering below a certain depth. This permits you to number major section
8053 levels and leave minor section levels unnumbered.
8055 ● Added footnote.sep.leader.properties attribute set to format the line
8056 separating footnotes in printed output.
8058 ● Added parameter img.src.path as a prefix to HTML img src attributes. The
8059 prefix is added to whatever path is already generated by the stylesheet for
8062 ● Added new attribute-sets informalequation.properties,
8063 informalexample.properties, informalfigure.properties, and
8064 informaltable.properties, so each such element type can be formatted
8065 individually if needed.
8067 ● Add component.label.includes.part.label parameter to add any part number to
8068 chapter, appendix and other component labels when the label.from.part
8069 parameter is nonzero. This permits you to distinguish multiple chapters
8070 with the same chapter number in cross references and the TOC.
8072 ● Added chunk.separate.lots parameter for HTML output. This parameter lets
8073 you generate separate chunk files for each LOT (list of tables, list of
8076 ● Added several table features:
8078 ○ Added table.table.properties attribute set to add properties to the
8081 ○ Added placeholder templates named table.cell.properties and
8082 table.cell.block.properties to enable adding properties to any
8083 fo:table-cell or the cell's fo:block, respectively. These templates are
8084 a start for implementing table styles.
8086 ● Added new attribute set component.title.properties for easy modifications
8087 of component's title formatting in FO output.
8089 ● Added Saxon support for an encoding attribute on the textdata element.
8090 Added new parameter textdata.default.encoding which specifies encoding when
8091 encoding attribute on textdata is missing.
8093 ● Template label.this.section now controls whole section label, not only
8094 sub-label which corresponds to particular label. Former behaviour was IMHO
8095 bug as it was not usable.
8097 ● Formatting in titleabbrev for TOC and headers is preserved when there are
8098 no hotlink elements in the title. Formerly the title showed only the text
8099 of the title, no font changes or other markup.
8101 ● Added intial.page.number template to set the initial-page-number property
8102 for page sequences in print output. Customizing this template lets you
8103 change when page numbering restarts. This is similar to the
8104 format.page.number template that lets you change how the page number
8105 formatting changes in the output.
8107 ● Added force.page.count template to set the force-page-count property for
8108 page sequences in print output. This is similar to the format.page.number
8111 ● Sort language for localized index sorting in autoidx-ng.xsl is now taken
8112 from document lang, not from system environment.
8114 ● Numbering and formatting of normal and ulink footnotes (if turned on) has
8115 been unified. Now ulink footnotes are mixed in with any other footnotes.
8117 ● Added support for renderas attribute in section and sect1 et al. This
8118 permits you to render a given section title as if it were a different
8121 ● Added support for label attribute in footnote to manually supply the
8124 ● Added support for DocBook 4.3 corpcredit element.
8126 ● Added support for a dbfo keep-together PI for formal objects (table,
8127 figure, example, equation, programlisting). That permits a formal object to
8128 be kept together if it is not already, or to be broken if it is very long
8129 and the default keep-together is not appropriate.
8131 ● For graphics files, made file extension matching case insensitive, and
8132 updated the list of graphics extensions.
8134 ● Allow calloutlist to have block content before the first callout
8136 ● Added dbfo-need processing instruction to provide soft page breaks.
8138 ● Added implementation of existing but unused default.image.width parameter
8141 ● Support DocBook NG tag inline element.
8143 ● It appears that XEP now supports Unicode characters in bookmarks. There is
8144 no further need to strip accents from characters.
8146 ● Make segmentedlist HTML markup more semantic and available to CSS styles.
8148 ● Added user.preroot placeholder template to permit xsl-stylesheet and other
8149 PIs and comments to be output before the HTML root element.
8151 ● Non-chunked legalnotice now gets an <a name="id"> element in HTML output so
8152 it can be referenced with xref or link.
8154 ● In chunked HTML output, changed link rel="home" to rel="start", and link
8155 rel="previous" to rel="prev", per W3C HTML 4.01 spec.
8157 ● Added several patches to htmlhelp from W. Borgert
8159 ● Added Bosnian locale file as common/bs.xml.
8163 ● A number of important bug fixes.
8165 ● Added a workaround to allow these stylesheets to process DocBook NG
8166 documents. (It’s a hack that pre-processes the document to strip off the
8167 namespace and then uses exsl:node-set to process the result.)
8169 ● Added alternative indexing mechanism which has better internationalization
8170 support. New indexing method allows grouping of accented letters like e, é,
8171 ë into the same group under letter "e". It can also treat special letters
8172 (e.g. "ch") as one character and place them in the correct position (e.g.
8173 between "h" and "i" in Czech language).
8175 In order to use this mechanism you must create customization layer which
8176 imports some base stylesheet (like fo/docbook.xsl, html/chunk.xsl) and then
8177 includes appropriate stylesheet with new indexing code (fo/autoidx-ng.xsl
8178 or html/autoidx-ng.xsl). For example:
8180 <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
8183 <xsl:import href="http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/fo/docbook.xsl"/>
8184 <xsl:include href="http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/fo/autoidx-ng.xsl"/>
8188 New method is known to work with Saxon and it should also work with
8189 xsltproc 1.1.1 and later. Currently supported languages are English, Czech,
8190 German, French, Spanish and Danish.
8194 General bug fixes and improvements. Sorry about the failure to produce an
8195 updated release notes file for 1.62.0—1.63.2
8197 ● In the course of fixing bug #849787, wrapping Unicode callouts with an
8198 appropriate font change in the Xalan extensions, I discovered that the
8199 Xalan APIs have changed a bit. So xalan2.jar will work with older Xalan 2
8200 implementations, xalan25.jar works with Xalan 2.5.
8204 Lots of bug fixes and improvements.
8206 ● Initial support for timestamp PI. From now you can use <?dbtimestamp format
8207 ="Y-m-d H:M:S"?> to get current datetime in your document. Added
8208 localization support for datetime PI
8210 ● Added level 6 to test for section depth in section.level template so that
8211 section.title.level6.properties will be used for sections that are 6 deep
8212 or deeper. This should also cause a h6 to be created in html output.
8214 ● Don't use SVG graphics if use.svg=0
8216 ● Now uses number-and-title-template for sections only if section.autolabel
8219 ● Added missing 'english-language-name' attribute to the l10n element, and
8220 the missing 'style' attribute to the template element so the current
8221 gentext documents will validate.
8223 ● Corrected several references to parameter qanda.defaultlabel that were
8226 ● Now accepts admon.textlabel parameter to turn off Note, Warning, etc.
8229 ● FeatReq #684561: support more XEP metadata
8231 ● Added hyphenation support. Added support for coref. Added beginpage
8232 support. (does nothing; see TDG).
8234 ● Added support for hyphenation-character, hyphenation-push-character-count,
8235 and hyphenation-remain-character-count
8237 ● Added root.properties, ebnf.assignment, and ebnf.statement.terminator
8239 ● Support bgcolor PI in table cells; make sure rowsep and colsep don't have
8240 any effect on the last row or column
8242 ● Handle othercredit on titlepage a little better
8244 ● Applied fix from Jeff Beal that fixed the bug that put secondary page
8245 numbers on primary entries. Same with tertiary page numbers on secondary
8248 ● Added definition of missing variable collection.
8250 ● Make footnote formatting 'normal' even when it occurs in a context that has
8253 ● Added warning when glossary.collection is not blank, but it cannot open the
8256 ● Pick up the frame attribute on table and informaltable.
8258 ● indexdiv/title in non-autogenerated indexes are now picked up.
8260 ● Removed (unused) component.title.properties
8262 ● Move IDs from page-sequences down to titlepage blocks
8264 ● Use proportional-column-width(1) on more tables.
8266 Use proportional-column-width() for header/footer tables; suppress
8267 relative-align when when using FOP
8269 ● Check for glossterm.auto.link when linking firstterms; don't output gl.
8270 prefix on glossterm links
8272 ● Generate Part ToCs
8274 ● Support glossary, bibliography, and index in component ToCs.
8276 ● Refactored chunking code so that customization of chunk algorithm and chunk
8277 elements is more practical
8279 ● Support textobject/phrase on inlinemediaobject.
8281 ● Support 'start' PI on ordered lists
8283 ● Fixed test of $toc PI to turn on qandaset TOC.
8285 ● Added process.chunk.footnotes to sect2 through 5 to fix bug of missing
8286 footnotes when chunk level greater than 1.
8288 ● Added paramater toc.max.depth which controls maximal depth of ToC as
8289 requested by PHP-DOC group.
8291 ● Exempted titleabbrev from preamble processing in lists, and fixed
8292 variablelist preamble code to use the same syntax as the other lists.
8294 ● Added support for elements between variablelist and first varlistentry
8295 since DocBook 4.2 supports that now.
8301 ● The format of the titlepage.templates.xml files and the stylesheet that
8302 transforms them have been significantly changed. All of the attributes used
8303 to control the templates are now namespace qualified. So what used to be:
8305 <t:titlepage element="article" wrapper="fo:block">
8309 <t:titlepage t:element="article" t:wrapper="fo:block">
8311 Attributes from other namespaces (including those that are unqualified) are
8312 now copied directly through. In practice, this means that the names that
8313 used to be “fo:” qualified:
8315 <title named-template="component.title"
8316 param:node="ancestor-or-self::article[1]"
8317 fo:text-align="center"
8318 fo:keep-with-next="always"
8319 fo:font-size="&hsize5;"
8320 fo:font-weight="bold"
8321 fo:font-family="{$title.font.family}"/>
8323 are now unqualified:
8325 <title t:named-template="component.title"
8326 param:node="ancestor-or-self::article[1]"
8328 keep-with-next="always"
8329 font-size="&hsize5;"
8331 font-family="{$title.font.family}"/>
8333 The t:titlepage and t:titlepage-content elements both generate wrappers
8334 now. And unqualified attributes on those elements are passed through. This
8335 means that you can now make the title font apply to ane entire titlepage
8336 and make the entire “recto” titlepage centered by specifying the font and
8337 alignment on the those elements:
8339 <t:titlepage t:element="article" t:wrapper="fo:block"
8340 font-family="{$title.font.family}">
8342 <t:titlepage-content t:side="recto"
8343 text-align="center">
8345 ● Support use of titleabbrev in running headers and footers.
8347 ● Added (experimental) xref.with.number.and.title parameter to enable number/
8348 title cross references even when the default would be just the number.
8350 ● Generate part ToCs if they're requested.
8352 ● Use proportional-column-width() in header/footer tables.
8354 ● Handle alignment correctly when screenshot wraps a graphic in a figure.
8356 ● Format chapter and appendix cross references consistently.
8358 ● Attempt to support tables with multiple tgroups in FO.
8360 ● Output fo:table-columns in simplelist tables.
8362 ● Use titlepage.templates.xml for indexdiv and glossdiv formatting.
8364 ● Improve support for new bibliography elements.
8366 ● Added footnote.number.format, table.footnote.number.format,
8367 footnote.number.symbols, and table.footnote.number.symbols for better
8368 control of footnote markers.
8370 ● Added glossentry.show.acronyms.
8372 ● Suppress the draft-mode page masters when draft-mode is “no”.
8374 ● Make blank pages verso not recto. D'Oh!
8376 ● Improved formatting of ulink footnotes.
8378 ● Fixed bugs in graphic width/height calculations.
8380 ● Added class attributes to inline elements.
8382 ● Don't add “.html” to the filenames identified with the “dbhtml” PI.
8384 ● Don't force a ToC when sections contain refentrys.
8386 ● Make section title sizes a function of the body.master.size.
8390 The 1.59.2 fixes an FO bug in the page masters that causes FOP to fail.
8392 ● Removed the region-name from the region-body of blank pages. There's no
8393 reason to give the body of blank pages a unique name and doing so causes a
8394 mismatch that FOP detects.
8396 ● Output IDs for the first paragraphs in listitems.
8398 ● Fixed some small bugs in the handling of page numbers in double-sided mode.
8400 ● Attempt to prevent duplicated IDs from being produced when endterm on xref
8401 points to something with nested structure.
8403 ● Fix aligment problems in equations.
8405 ● Output the type attribute on unordered lists (UL) in HTML only if the
8406 css.decoration parameter is true.
8408 ● Calculate the font size in formal.title.properties so that it's 1.2 times
8409 the base font size, not a fixed "12pt".
8413 The 1.59.1 fixes a few bugs.
8415 ● Added Bulgarian localization.
8417 ● Indexing improvements; localize book indexes to books but allow setindex to
8418 index an entire set.
8420 ● The default value for rowsep and colsep is now "1" as per CALS.
8422 ● Added support for titleabbrev (use them for cross references).
8424 ● Improvements to mediaobject for selecting print vs. online images.
8426 ● Added seperate property sets for figures, examples, equations, tabless, and
8429 ● Make lineannotations italic.
8431 ● Support xrefstyle attribute.
8433 ● Make endterm on xref higher priority than xreflabel target.
8435 ● Glossary formatting improvements.
8439 The 1.58.0 adds some initial support for extensions in xsltproc, adds a few
8440 features, and fixes bugs.
8442 ● This release contains the first attempt at extension support for xsltproc.
8443 The only extension available to date is the one that adjusts table column
8444 widths. Run extensions/xsltproc/python/xslt.py.
8446 ● Fixed bugs in calculation of adjusted column widths to correct for rounding
8449 ● Support nested refsection elements correctly.
8451 ● Reworked gentext.template to take context into consideration. The name of
8452 elements in localization files is now an xpath-like context list, not just
8455 ● Made some improvements to bibliography formatting.
8457 ● Improved graphical formatting of admonitions.
8459 ● Added support for entrytbl.
8461 ● Support spanning index terms.
8463 ● Support bibliosource.
8467 ● The 1.57.0 release wasn't documented here. Oops.
8471 The 1.56.0 release fixes bugs.
8473 ● Reworked chunking. This will break all existing customizations layers that
8474 change the chunking algorithm. If you're customizing chunking, look at the
8475 new “content” parameter that's passed to process-chunk-element and friends.
8477 ● Support continued and inherited numeration in orderedlist formatting for
8480 ● Added Thai localization.
8482 ● Tweaked stylesheet documentation stylesheets to link to TDG and the
8483 parameter references.
8485 ● Allow title on tables of contents ("Table of Contents") to be optional.
8486 Added new keyword to generate.toc. Support tables of contents on sections.
8488 ● Made separate parameters for table borders and table cell borders:
8489 table.frame.border.color, table.frame.border.style,
8490 table.frame.border.thickness, table.cell.border.color,
8491 table.cell.border.style, and table.cell.border.thickness.
8493 ● Suppress formatting of “endofrange” indexterms. This is only half-right.
8494 They should generate a range, but I haven't figured out how to do that yet.
8496 ● Support revdescription. (Bug #582192)
8498 ● Added default.float.class and fixed figure floats. (Bug #497603)
8500 ● Fixed formatting of sbr in FOs.

8504 ● Process arg correctly in a group. (Bug #605150)
8506 ● Removed 'keep-with-next' from formal.title.properties attribute set now
8507 that the stylesheets support the option of putting such titles below the
8508 object. Now the $placement value determines if 'keep-with-next' or
8509 'keep-with-previous' is used in the title block.
8511 ● Wrap “url()” around external-destinations when appropriate.
8513 ● Fixed typo in compact list spacing. (Bug #615464)
8515 ● Removed spurious hash in anchor name. (Bug #617717)

8519 ● The bridgehead.in.toc parameter is now properly supported.
8521 ● Improved effectiveness of HTML cleanup by increasing the number of places
8522 where it is used. Improve use of HTML cleanup in XHTML stylesheets.
8524 ● Support table of contents for appendix in article. (Bug #596599)
8526 ● Don't duplicate footnotes in bibliographys and glossarys. (Bug #583282)
8528 ● Added default.image.width. (Bug #516859)
8530 ● Totally reworked funcsynopsis code; it now supports a 'tabular'
8531 presentation style for 'wide' prototypes; see
8532 funcsynopsis.tabular.threshold. (HTML only right now, I think, FO support,
8535 ● Reworked support for difference marking; toned down the colors a bit and
8536 added a “system.head.content” template so that the diff CSS wasn't
8537 overriding “user.head.content”. (Bug #610660)
8539 ● Added call to the “*.head.content” elements when writing out long
8542 ● Make sure legalnotice link is correct even when chunking to a different
8545 ● Use CSS to set viewport characteristics if css.decoration is non-zero, use
8546 div instead of p for making graphic a block element; make figure titles the
8547 default alt text for images in a figure.
8549 ● Added space-after to list.block.spacing.
8551 ● Reworked section.level template to give “correct” answer instead of being
8554 ● When processing tables, use the tabstyle attribute as the division class.

8557 HTML instead of XHTML.

8565 About dot-zero releases
8567 DocBook Project “dot zero” releases should be considered experimental and are
8568 always followed by stable “dot one plus” releases, usually within two or three
8569 weeks. Please help to ensure the stability of “dot one plus” releases by
8570 carefully testing each “dot zero” release and reporting back about any problems
8573 It is not recommended that you use a “dot zero” release in a production system.
8574 Instead, you should wait for the “dot one” or greater versions.
