1 Note: This changelog is a record of descriptions of all changes
2 made to the DocBook XSL manpages stylesheets during the time when
3 they were maintained in their original home in the
4 [cvs]/docbook/contrib/xsl/db2man area of the DocBook Project
5 source-code repository at Sourceforge; that is, from October 2001
6 (when they were contributed to the project by Martijn van Beers)
7 until September 2002 (when they were moved to the
8 [cvs]/docbook/xsl/manpages area and became a standard part of all
9 subsequent DocBook XSL Stylesheets releases).

13 * README, db2man.xsl, lists.xsl, sect23.xsl, synop.xsl, xref.xsl:
14 Moved to docbook/xsl/manpages
16 * db2man.xsl, synop.xsl: Patch from Joe Orton
18 2002-06-16 <lotr@users.sourceforge.net>
20 * db2man.xsl: commit patch sent by Joe Orton:
22 This patch adds support for using the productname, date and title out of
23 a <referenceinfo> if one is present, rather than having to add each of
24 these individually for every refentry.
26 * db2man.xsl: Tim Waugh sent:
28 This patch normalizes space in each refname before displaying it in
31 2002-05-21 <lotr@users.sourceforge.net>
33 * xref.xsl: from Joe Orton:
34 this patch allows cross-referencing to a specific refname. I
35 need this since I'm documenting several different (but related)
36 functions per refentry, and want to cross-reference them individually,
37 rather than just by the title used for the refentry as a whole.
39 2002-05-17 <lotr@users.sourceforge.net>
41 * lists.xsl: apply glosslist support patch from twaugh
43 2002-05-15 <lotr@users.sourceforge.net>
45 * db2man.xsl: slightly sanitize the filenames we generate. again from twaugh
47 * db2man.xsl: Apply twaugh's fix for making the entity transform stuff work
49 2002-05-14 <lotr@users.sourceforge.net>
51 * db2man.xsl: generalize the tip template for all admonitions
52 (caution,important,note,tip,warning)
54 * db2man.xsl: Apply Joe Orton's <tip> patch, modified to be indented. Also show "Tip"
57 so if <tip><title>foo</title></tip>, you get
60 * synop.xsl: rewrote funcprototype. It used to convert all its children to a single
61 string and the split it up again through recursion. Now has a nice
62 foreach loop for the paramdefs, which seems much cleaner than throwing
63 everything in a big string before processing it.
65 2002-05-10 <lotr@users.sourceforge.net>
67 * db2man.xsl: add support for simpara
69 * db2man.xsl, lists.xsl: fix refsect2 titles
71 * synop.xsl: also from twaugh:
73 I found some input that goes wrong with the synop.xsl we have in CVS:
76 <arg>-o <replaceable>FILE</replaceable></arg>
77 <arg>--output=<replaceable>FILE</replaceable></arg>
80 It gets rendered as (with *bold* and _italic_):
82 [*-o FILE* | *--output=FILE*]
84 The desired markup should look like:
85 The following macro does the trick:
87 [\fB-o \fIFILE\fR\fR | \fB--output=\fIFILE\fR\fR]
89 The trouble is that the named template 'bold' uses value-of, and so
90 strips <replaceable> of its significance.
92 Another thing I found is that the arg/replaceable template is
93 superfluous altogether: db2man.xsl has a 'replaceable' template which
96 Here is a patch to make those two modifications.
98 NOTE TO SELF: must try to fix bold template so we can use it everywhere
100 2002-05-09 <lotr@users.sourceforge.net>
102 * db2man.xsl: oops, removed too much
104 * db2man.xsl: remove stuff that's apparently left-over from sect23.xsl
106 * db2man.xsl, lists.xsl, synop.xsl: batch of patches from twaugh:
107 * This patch (based on one from Jirka Kosek) adds support for
108 block-level elements inside <para>s---<screen>s for example, or lists.
109 * This patch replaces entities (like '舒') with sensible
110 characters or groups of characters.
111 * This patch adds support for sbr.
112 * This patch normalizes spaces in varlistentry terms.
113 * This patch normalizes spaces in terminal varlistentry terms.
114 * This patch allows variable lists to be nested (once).
115 * This patch prevents variable list item paragraphs from merging into
117 * This patch improves the rendering of itemized lists, and adds support
118 for ordered lists and procedures.
119 * This patch makes some small adjustments to group/arg: don't put extra
120 spaces in where they aren't needed, and normalize the space of $arg.
121 * This patch makes adjustments to cmdsynopsis elements. In particular,
122 they can now be wrapped if no <sbr/> is provided.
123 * This patch adds funcsynopsis//* support. Again, wrapping is done
126 * synop.xsl: make synopsises work for --arg=foo <arg>s too
128 * synop.xsl: remove unneccesary adding of whitespace for arg/replaceable
130 2002-05-01 <lotr@users.sourceforge.net>
132 * db2man.xsl: This patch adds support for multiple refnames.
134 (another twaugh patch)
136 * db2man.xsl: modified ulink patch from twaugh. Be nice to content-less ulinks. But we
137 don't accomodate silly people who don't understand ulink and put the
138 url as the content too.
140 * db2man.xsl, synop.xsl: db2man.xsl:
141 * temporarily add some params that chunker.xsl needs
142 * fix bold/italic templates
143 * update calls to bold/italic templates for new syntax
145 * add support for synopfragment
146 * update calls to bold/italic templates for new syntax
148 2002-04-30 <lotr@users.sourceforge.net>
150 * db2man.xsl: Add twaug's patch for xref support
152 * db2man.xsl: This patch adds support for:
155 - A (single) man page editor.
157 (another patch from twaugh)
159 * db2man.xsl: more twaugh patches:
160 - Use refentrytitle, not refname[1], for title.
162 - Use date, productname, and title.
163 - Pick up author from main document if not contained in refentry.
164 - Use refname[1] for man page filename, not refentrytitle.
166 * db2man.xsl: add varname support
168 * db2man.xsl: This patch makes userinput (an inline element) have inline formatting.
170 * db2man.xsl: This patch adds support for the top-level document being something
171 other than an article.
173 It also emits a helpful warning if no refentry elements are found.
175 * db2man.xsl: next twaugh patch:
176 Instead of writing to stdout, create a file for each
177 refentry. Plus, for bonus points, a file for each additional refname
178 within that entry (pointing to the main page).
180 * db2man.xsl: Add named templates for bold-ifying and italicizing stuff. Inspired
181 by yet another twaugh patch
183 * db2man.xsl, lists.xsl, sect23.xsl: consistently use instead of a newline
185 * db2man.xsl, synop.xsl: * add support for informalexample, screen, errorcode, constant, type,
186 quote, programlisting and citerefentry
187 * use the 'bold' and 'italic' named templates
189 * xref.xsl: New file.
