-XHTML, XHTML 1.1 (and therefore EPUB) outputs by changing html2xhtml.xsl.
-
-Fixes bug #2873153: No <b> and <i> tags in XHTML/EPUB
-
-Added regression to EPUB specs:
-

- Keith Fahlgren: bin/lib/docbook.rb; bin/spec/files/DejaVuSerif-Italic.otf; docbook.xsl; bi⋯ -

-            This resolves bug #2873142, Please add support for multiple embedded fonts
-
-
-If you navigate to a checkout of DocBook-XSL and go to:
-xsl/epub/bin/spec/files
-You can now run the following command:
-
-../../dbtoepub -f DejaVuSerif.otf -f DejaVuSerif-Italic.otf -c test.css
--s test_cust.xsl orm.book.001.xml
-
-In dbtoepub, the following option can be used more than once:
--f, --font [OTF FILE] Embed OTF FILE in .epub.
-

-names rather than just one as the RENAMED epub.embedded.fonts ('s' added).

-- should be valid .epub after including more than one embedded font

-            Add more careful handling of refentries to ensure that they always appear in the opf:spine.
-This was only a problem when refentries were pushed deep into the hierarchy (like inside
-a sect2), but presented navigational problems for many reading systems (despite the
-correct NCX references). This may *not* be the best solution, but attacking a better
-chunking strategy for refentries was too big a nut to crack at this time.
-

- -

- Mauritz Jeanson: eclipse3.xsl -

-            Added a stylesheet module that generates plug-ins conforming to the standard (OSGi-based) Eclipse 3.x

Therefore, -any man pages you generate with this parameter enabled will be -readable only on systems on which the groff (GNU troff) program is -installed, such as GNU/Linux systems. The pages will not not be -readable on systems on with the classic troff (AT&T troff) command -is installed. - -NOTE: The value of this parameter only affects PostScript output -generated from the man command. It has no effect on output -generated using the FO backend. - -TIP: You can generate PostScript output for any man page by -running the following command: - -man FOO -Tps > FOO.ps - -You can then generate PDF output by running the following command: - -ps2pdf FOO.ps

Release Notes: 1.74.0

- -

This release includes important bug fixes and adds the following -significant feature changes: -

.epub target

Paul Norton (Adobe) and Keith Fahlgren(O'Reilly Media) have donated code that generates .epub documents from -DocBook input. An alpha-reference implementation in Ruby has also been provided.

.epub is an open standard of the The International Digital Publishing Forum (IDPF), -a the trade and standards association for the digital publishing industry.

Read more about this target in epub/README -

Roundtrip improvements

Table, figure, template syncronization, and character style improvements have been made for WordML & Pages. Support added for OpenOffice.org.

First implementation of a libxslt extension

Gentext

- -

The following changes have been made to the - gentext code - since the 1.73.2 release.

Michael(tm) Smith: locale/id.xml

Michael(tm) Smith: locale/nb.xml

Corrected language code for nb locale, and restored missing "startquote" key.

Michael(tm) Smith: locale/ja.xml

Committed changes to ja locale file, from Akagi Kobayashi. Adds bracket quotes around many xref instances that did not have them
-before.

-
Michael(tm) Smith: Makefile
```
"no" locale is now "nb"
```
-

Michael(tm) Smith: locale/nb.xml

Update Norwegian Bokmål translation. Thanks to Hans F. Nordhaug.

Michael(tm) Smith: locale/no.xml; locale/nb.xml

per message from Hans F. Nordhaug, correct identifier for
-Norwegian Bokmål is "nb" (not "no") and has been for quite some
-time now...

Michael(tm) Smith: locale/ja.xml

Converted ja.xml source file to use real unicode characters so
-that the actual glyphs so up when you edit it in a text editor
-(instead of the character references).

Michael(tm) Smith: locale/ja.xml

Common

- -

The following changes have been made to the - common code - since the 1.73.2 release.

Michael(tm) Smith: l10n.xsl

Added new template "l10.language.name" for retrieving the
-English-language name of the lang setting of the current document.
-Closes #1916837. Thanks to Simon Kennedy.

-
Michael(tm) Smith: refentry.xsl
```
fixed syntax error
```
-
-
Michael(tm) Smith: refentry.xsl
```
fixed a couple of typos
```
-

Michael(tm) Smith: refentry.xsl

refined handling of cases where refentry "source" or "manual"
-metadata is missing or when we use fallback content instead. We
-now report a Warning if we use fallback content.

Michael(tm) Smith: refentry.xsl

don't use refmiscinfo@class=date value as fallback for refentry
-"source" or "manual" metadata fields

Michael(tm) Smith: refentry.xsl

Made reporting of missing refentry metadata more quiet:
-
-  - we no longer report anything if usable-but-not-preferred
-    metadata is found; we just quietly use whatever we manage to
-    find
-
-  - we now only report missing "source" metadata if the refentry
-    is missing BOTH "source name" and "version" metadata; if it
-    has one but not the other, we use whichever one it has and
-    don't report anything as missing
-
-The above changes were made because testing with some "real world"
-source reveals that some authors are intentionally choosing to use
-"non preferred" markup for some metadata, and also choosing to
-omit "source name" or "version" metadata in there DocBook XML. So
-it does no good to give them pedantic reminders about what they
-already know...
-
-Also, changed code to cause "fixme" text to be inserted in output
-in particular cases:
-
-  - if we can't manage to find any "source" metadata at all, we
-    now put fixme text into the output
-
-  - if we can't manage to find any "manual" metadata a all, we 
-    now put fixme text into the output
-
-The "source" and "manual" metadata is necessary information, so
-buy putting the fixme stuff in the output, we alert users to the
-need problem of it being missing.

Michael(tm) Smith: refentry.xsl

When generating manpages output, we no longer report anything if
-the refentry source is missing date or pubdate content. In
-practice, many users intentionally omit the date from the source
-because they explicitly want it to be generated.

Michael(tm) Smith: l10n.xml

further change needed for switch from no locale to nb.

Michael(tm) Smith: common.xsl

Added support for orgname in authorgroup. Thanks to Camille
-Bégnis.

-
Michael(tm) Smith: Makefile
```
"no" locale is now "nb"
```
-

Mauritz Jeanson: stripns.xsl

Removed the template matching "ng:link|db:link" (in order to make @xlink:show 
-work with <link> elements). As far as I can tell, this template is no longer needed.

Mauritz Jeanson: entities.ent

Moved declaration of comment.block.parents entity to common/entities.ent.

Mauritz Jeanson: titles.xsl

Added an update the fix made in revision 7528 (handling of xref/link in no.anchor.mode mode).
-Having xref in title is not a problem as long as the target is not an ancestor element. 
-Closes bug #1838136.
-
-Note that an xref that is in a title and whose target is an ancestor element is still not 
-rendered in the TOC. This could be considered a bug, but on the other hand I cannot really
-see the point in having such an xref in a document.

Mauritz Jeanson: titles.xsl

Added a "not(ancestor::title)" test to work around "too many nested 
-apply-templates" problems when processing xrefs or links in no.anchor.mode mode.
-Hopefully, this closes bug #1811721.

Mauritz Jeanson: titles.xsl

Removed old template matching "link" in no.anchor.mode mode.

Mauritz Jeanson: titles.xsl

Process <link> in no.anchor.mode mode with the same template as <xref>. 
-Closes bug #1759205 (Empty link in no.anchor.mode mode).

Mauritz Jeanson: titles.xsl

In no.anchor.mode mode, do not output anchors for elements that are descendants 
-of <title>. Previously, having inline elements with @id/@xml:id in <title>s 
-resulted in anchors both in the TOC and in the main flow. Closes bug #1797492.

- -

FO

- -

The following changes have been made to the - fo code - since the 1.73.2 release.

Mauritz Jeanson: pi.xsl

Updated documentation for keep-together.

Mauritz Jeanson: task.xsl

Enabled use of the keep-together PI on task elements.

Robert Stayton: index.xsl

FOP1 requires fo:wrapper for inline index entries, not fo:inline.

Robert Stayton: index.xsl

Fixed non-working inline.or.block template for indexterm wrappers.
-Add fop1 to list of processors using inline.or.block.

Mauritz Jeanson: table.xsl

Fixed bug #1891965 (colsep in entytbl not working).

Mauritz Jeanson: titlepage.xsl

Added support for title in revhistory. Closes bug #1842847.

-
Mauritz Jeanson: pi.xsl
```
Small doc cleanup (dbfo float-type).
```
-

Mauritz Jeanson: titlepage.xsl

Insert commas between multiple copyright holders.

Mauritz Jeanson: autotoc.xsl; division.xsl

Added modifications to support nested set elements. See bug #1853172.

David Cramer: glossary.xsl

Added normalize-space to xsl:sorts to avoid missorting of glossterms due to stray leading spaces.

David Cramer: glossary.xsl

Fixed bug #1854199: glossary.xsl should use the sortas attribute on glossentry

Mauritz Jeanson: inline.xsl

Added a template for citebiblioid. The hyperlink target is the parent of the referenced biblioid,
-and the "hot text" is the biblioid itself enclosed in brackets.

Mauritz Jeanson: inline.xsl

Moved declaration of comment.block.parents entity to common/entities.ent.

Mauritz Jeanson: docbook.xsl

Updated message about unmatched element.

-
Mauritz Jeanson: param.xweb
```
Added link to profiling chapter of TCG.
```

David Cramer: fop.xsl; fop1.xsl; ptc.xsl; xep.xsl

Added test to check generate.index param when generating pdf bookmarks

-
Mauritz Jeanson: graphics.xsl
```
Added support for MathML in imagedata.
```
-

Michael(tm) Smith: math.xsl

Removed unnecessary extra test condition in test express that
-checks for passivetex.

Michael(tm) Smith: math.xsl

Don't use fo:instream-foreign-object if we are processing with
-passivetex. Closes #1806899. Thanks to Justus Piater.

Mauritz Jeanson: component.xsl

Added code to output a TOC for an appendix in an article when 
-generate.toc='article/appendix toc'. Closes bug #1669658.

Dongsheng Song: biblio-iso690.xsl

Change encoding from "windows-1250" to "UTF-8".

Mauritz Jeanson: pi.xsl

Updated documentation for dbfo_label-width.

Added support for the dbfo_label-width PI in calloutlists.

Robert Stayton: biblio.xsl

Support finding glossary database entries inside bibliodivs.

Robert Stayton: formal.xsl

Complete support for <?dbfo pgwide="1"?> for informal
-elements too.

Mauritz Jeanson: table.xsl

In the table.block template, added a check for the dbfo_keep-together PI, so that 
-a table may break (depending on the PI value) at a page break. This was needed 
-since the outer fo:block that surrounds fo:table has keep-together.within-column="always" 
-by default, which prevents the table from breaking. Closes bug #1740964 (Titled 
-table does not respect dbfo PI).

-
Mauritz Jeanson: pi.xsl
```
Added a few missing @role="tcg".
```
-

Mauritz Jeanson: inline.xsl

Use normalize-space() in glossterm comparisons (as in html/inline.xsl).

Mauritz Jeanson: autoidx.xsl

Removed the [&scope;] predicate from the target variable in the template with name="reference".
-This filter was the cause of missing index backlinks when @zone and @type were used on indexterms,
-with index.on.type=1. Closes bug #1680836.

Michael(tm) Smith: inline.xsl; xref.xsl; footnote.xsl

Added capability in FO output for displaying URLs for all
-hyperlinks (elements marked up with xlink:href attributes) in the
-same way as URLs for ulinks are already handled (which is to say,
-either inline or as numbered footnotes).
-
-Background on this change:
-DocBook 5 allows "ubiquitous" linking, which means you can make
-any element a hyperlink just by adding an xlink:href attribute to
-it, with the value set to an external URL. That's in contrast to
-DocBook 4, which only allows you to use specific elements (e.g.,
-the link and ulink elements) to mark up hyperlinks.
-
-The existing FO stylesheets have a mechanism for handling display
-of URLs for hyperlinks that are marked up with ulink, but they did
-not handle display of URLs for elements that were marked up with
-xlink:href attributes. This change adds handling for those other
-elements, enabling the URLs they link to be displayed either
-inline or as numbered footnotes (depending on what values the user
-has the ulink.show and ulink.footnotes params set to).
-
-Note that this change only adds URL display support for elements
-that call the simple.xlink template -- which currently is most
-(but not all) inline elements.
-
-This change also moves the URL display handling out of the ulink
-template and into a new "hyperlink.url.display" named template;
-the ulink template and the simple.xlink named template now both
-call the hyperlink.url.display template.
-
-Warning: In the stylesheet code that determines what footnote
-number to assign to each footnote or external hyperlink, there is
-an XPath expression for determining whether a particular
-xlink:href instance is an external hyperlink; that expression is
-necessarily a bit complicated and further testing may reveal that
-it doesn't handle all cases as expected -- so some refinements to
-it may need to be done later.
-
-Closes #1785519. Thanks to Ken Morse for reporting and
-troubleshooting the problem.

HTML

- -

The following changes have been made to the - html code - since the 1.73.2 release.

Keith Fahlgren: inline.xsl; synop.xsl

Work to make HTML and XHTML targets more valid

Keith Fahlgren: table.xsl

Add better handling for tables that have footnotes in the titles

Keith Fahlgren: biblio.xsl
```
Add anchors to bibliodivs
```
-
Keith Fahlgren: formal.xsl; Makefile; htmltbl.xsl
```
Initial checkin/merge of epub target from work provided by Paul Norton of Adobe
-and Keith Fahlgren of O'Reilly.
```
-
This change includes new code for generating the XHTML 1.1 target sanely.
-

Mauritz Jeanson: biblio.xsl

Added code for creating URLs from biblioids with @class="doi" (representing Digital 
-Object Identifiers). See FR #1934434 and http://doi.org.
-
-To do: 1) Add support for FO output. 2) Figure out how @class="doi" should be handled 
-for bibliorelation, bibliosource and citebiblioid.

Norman Walsh: formal.xsl

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.

Michael(tm) Smith: Makefile

Added checks and hacks to various makefiles to enable building
-under Cygwin. This stuff is ugly and maybe not worth the mess and
-trouble, but does seem to work as expected and not break anything
-else.

Michael(tm) Smith: docbook.xsl

added "exslt" namespace binding to html/docbook.xsl file (in
-addition to existing "exsl" binding. reason is because lack of it
-seems to cause processing problems when using the profiled
-version of the stylsheet

-
Norman Walsh: chunk-common.xsl
```
Rename link
```
-

Mauritz Jeanson: table.xsl

Added a fix to make rowsep apply to the last row of thead in entrytbl.

Michael(tm) Smith: synop.xsl

Simplified and streamlined handling of output for ANSI-style
-funcprototype output, to correct a problem that was causing type
-data to be lost in the output parameter definitions. For example,
-for an instance like this:
-  <paramdef>void *<parameter>dataptr</parameter>[]</paramdef>
-... the brackets (indicating an array type) were being dropped.

Michael(tm) Smith: synop.xsl

Changed HTML handling of K&R-style paramdef output. The parameter
-definitions are no longer output in a table (though the prototype
-still is). The reason for the change is that the
-kr-tabular-funcsynopsis-mode template was causing type data to be
-lost in the output parameter definitions. For example, for an
-instance like this:
-  <paramdef>void *<parameter>dataptr</parameter>[]</paramdef>
-... the brackets (indicating an array type) were being dropped.
-The easiest way to deal with the problem is to not try to chop up
-the parameter definitions and display them in table format, but to
-instead just output them as-is. May not look quite as pretty, but
-at least we can be sure no information is being lost...

Michael(tm) Smith: pi.xsl

updated wording of doc for funcsynopsis-style PI

Michael(tm) Smith: param.xweb; param.ent; synop.xsl

Removed the funcsynopsis.tabular.threshold param. It's no longer
-being used in the code and hasn't been since mid 2006.

Mauritz Jeanson: graphics.xsl

Added support for the img.src.path parameter for SVG graphics. Closes bug #1888169.

-
Mauritz Jeanson: chunk-common.xsl
```
Added missing space.
```
-

Norman Walsh: component.xsl

Fix bug where component titles inside info elements were not handled properly

Michael(tm) Smith: pi.xsl

Moved dbhtml_stop-chunking embedded doc into alphabetical order,
-fixed text of TCG section it see-also'ed.

David Cramer: pi.xsl

Added support for <?dbhtml stop-chunking?> processing instruction

David Cramer: chunk-common.xsl; pi.xsl

Added support for <?dbhtml stop-chunking?> processing instruction

David Cramer: glossary.xsl

Fixed bug #1854199: glossary.xsl should use the sortas attribute on glossentry. Also added normalize-space to avoid missorting due to stray leading spaces.

Mauritz Jeanson: inline.xsl

Added a template for citebiblioid. The hyperlink target is the parent of the referenced biblioid,
-and the "hot text" is the biblioid itself enclosed in brackets.

Mauritz Jeanson: inline.xsl

Added support for @xlink:show in the simple.xlink template. The "new" and "replace" 
-values are supported (corresponding to values of "_blank" and "_top" for the 
-ulink.target parameter). I have assumed that @xlink:show should override ulink.target
-for external URI links. This closes bugs #1762023 and #1727498.

Mauritz Jeanson: inline.xsl

Moved declaration of comment.block.parents entity to common/entities.ent.

-
Mauritz Jeanson: param.xweb
```
Added link to profiling chapter of TCG.
```
-

Dongsheng Song: biblio-iso690.xsl

Change encoding from "windows-1250" to "UTF-8".

Robert Stayton: biblio.xsl

Add support in biblio collection to entries in bibliodivs.

-
Mauritz Jeanson: pi.xsl
```
Added missing @role="tcg".
```
-

Mauritz Jeanson: chunk-common.xsl; titlepage.xsl

Refactored legalnotice/revhistory chunking, so that the use.id.as.filename 
-parameter as well as the dbhtml_filename PI are taken into account. A new named
-template in titlepage.xsl is used to compute the filename.

Mauritz Jeanson: chunk-common.xsl; titlepage.xsl

An update to the fix for bug #1790495 (r7433):
-The "ln-" prefix is output only when the legalnotice doesn't have an
-@id/@xml:id, in which case the stylesheets generate an ID value, 
-resulting in a filename like "ln-7e0fwgj.html". This is useful because 
-without the prefix, you wouldn't know that the file contained a legalnotice. 
-The same logic is also applied to revhistory, using an "rh-" prefix.

Mauritz Jeanson: autoidx.xsl

Removed the [&scope;] predicate from the target variable in the template with name="reference".
-This filter was the cause of missing index backlinks when @zone and @type were used on indexterms,
-with index.on.type=1. Closes bug #1680836.

Mauritz Jeanson: titlepage.xsl

Added 'ln-' prefix to the name of the legalnotice chunk, in order to match the 
-<link href"..."> that is output by make.legalnotice.head.links (chunk-common.xsl).
-Modified the href attribute on the legalnotice link.
-Closes bug #1790495.

- -

Manpages

- -

The following changes have been made to the - manpages code - since the 1.73.2 release.

Michael(tm) Smith: other.xsl

slightly adjusted spacing around admonition markers

Michael(tm) Smith: refentry.xsl; utility.xsl

make sure refsect3 titles are preceded by a line of space, and
-make the indenting of their child content less severe

Michael(tm) Smith: block.xsl

only indent verbatim environments in TTY output, not in non-TTY/PS

Michael(tm) Smith: block.xsl

made another adjustment to correct vertical alignment of admonition marker

Michael(tm) Smith: block.xsl; other.xsl

Adjusted/corrected alignment of adominition marker in PS/non-TTY output.

Michael(tm) Smith: endnotes.xsl

For PS/non-TTY output, display footnote/endnote numbers in
-superscript.

Michael(tm) Smith: table.xsl; synop.xsl; utility.xsl

Changed handling of hanging indents for cmdsynopsis, funcsynopsis,
-and synopfragment such that they now look correct in non-TTY/PS
-output. We now use the groff \w escape to hang by the actual width
--- in the current font -- of the command, funcdef, or
-synopfragment references number (as opposed to hanging by the
-number of characters). This rendering in TTY output remains the
-same, since the width in monospaced TTY output is the same as the
-number of characters.
-
-Also, created new synopsis-block-start and synopsis-block-end
-templates to use for cmdsynopsis and funcsynopsis instead of the
-corresponding verbatim-* templates.
-
-Along with those changes, also corrected a problem that caused the
-content of synopfragment to be dropped, and made a
-vertical-spacing change to adjust spacing around table titles and
-among sibling synopfragment instances.

Michael(tm) Smith: other.xsl

use common l10.language.name template to retrieve English-language name

Michael(tm) Smith: synop.xsl; inline.xsl

added comment in code explaining why we don't put filename output
-in italic (despite the fact that man guidelines say we should)

Michael(tm) Smith: inline.xsl

put filename output in monospace instead of italic

-
Michael(tm) Smith: synop.xsl
```
put cmdsynopsis in monospace
```
-

Michael(tm) Smith: inline.xsl

removed template match for literal. template matches for monospace
-inlines are all imported from the HTML stylesheet

Michael(tm) Smith: block.xsl

don't indent verbatim environments that are descendants of
-refsynopsisdiv, not put backgrounds behind them

Michael(tm) Smith: inline.xsl

set output of the literal element in monospace. this causes all
-inline monospace instances in the git man pages to be set in
-monospace (since DocBook XML source for git docs is generated with
-asciidoc and asciidoc consistently outputs only <literal> for
-inline monospace (not <command> or <code> or anything else).
-Of course this only affects non-TTY output...

-
Michael(tm) Smith: utility.xsl
```
Added inline.monoseq named template.
```
-

Michael(tm) Smith: utility.xsl

don't bother using a custom register to store the previous
-font-family value when setting blocks of text in code font; just
-use \F[] .fam with no arg to switch back

Michael(tm) Smith: endnotes.xsl

put links in blue in PS output (note that this matches how groff
-renders content marked up with the .URL macro)

Michael(tm) Smith: endnotes.xsl; param.xweb; param.ent

removed man.links.are.underlined and added man.font.links. Also,
-changed the default font formatting for links to bold.

Michael(tm) Smith: endnotes.xsl; param.xweb; param.ent

Added new param man.base.url.for.relative.links .. specifies a
-base URL for relative links (for ulink, @xlink:href, imagedata,
-audiodata, videodata) shown in the generated NOTES section of
-man-page output. The value of man.base.url.for.relative.links is
-prepended to any relative URI that is a value of ulink url,
-xlink:href, or fileref attribute.
-
-If you use relative URIs in link sources in your DocBook refentry
-source, and you leave man.base.url.for.relative.links unset, the
-relative links will appear "as is" in the NOTES section of any
-man-page output generated from your source. That's probably not
-what you want, because such relative links are only usable in the
-context of HTML output. So, to make the links meaningful and
-usable in the context of man-page output, set a value for
-man.base.url.for.relative.links that points
-to the online version of HTML output generated from your DocBook
-refentry source. For example:
-
-  <xsl:param name="man.base.url.for.relative.links"
-  >http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/</xsl:param>

Michael(tm) Smith: info.xsl

If a source refentry contains a Documentation or DOCUMENTATION
-section, don't report it as having missing AUTHOR information.
-Also, if missing a contrib/personblurb for a person or org, report
-pointers to http://docbook.sf.net/el/personblurb and to
-http://docbook.sf.net/el/contrib

Michael(tm) Smith: info.xsl

If we encounter an author|editor|othercredit instance that lacks a
-personblurb or contrib, report it to the user (because that means
-we have no information about that author|editor|othercredit to
-display in the generated AUTHOR|AUTHORS section...)

Michael(tm) Smith: info.xsl; docbook.xsl; other.xsl

if we can't find any usable author data, emit a warning and insert
-a fixme in the output

Michael(tm) Smith: info.xsl

fixed bug in indenting of output for contrib instances in AUTHORS
-section. Thanks to Daniel Leidert and the fglrx docs for exposing
-the bug.

Michael(tm) Smith: block.xsl

for a para or simpara that is the first child of a callout,
-suppress the .sp or .PP that would normally be output (because in
-those cases, the output goes into a table cell, and the .sp or .PP
-markup causes a spurious linebreak before it when displayed

Michael(tm) Smith: lists.xsl

Added support for rendering co callouts and calloutlist instances.
-So you can now use simple callouts -- marking up programlisting
-and such with co instances -- and have the callouts displayed in
-man-page output. ("simple callouts" means using co@id and
-callout@arearefs pointing to co@id instances; in man/roff output,
-we can't/don't support markup that uses areaset and area)

Michael(tm) Smith: block.xsl

only put a line of space after a verbatim if it's followed by a
-text node or a paragraph

Michael(tm) Smith: utility.xsl

put verbatim environments in slightly smaller font in non-TTY
-output

Michael(tm) Smith: lists.xsl

minor whitespace-only reformatting of lists.xsl source

Michael(tm) Smith: lists.xsl

Made refinements/fixes to output of orderedlist and itemizedlist
--- in part, to get mysql man pages to display correctly. This
-change causes a "\c" continuation marker to be added between
-listitem markers and contents (to ensure that the content remains
-on the same line as the marker when displayed)

Michael(tm) Smith: block.xsl

put a line of vertical space after all verbatim output that has
-sibling content following it (not just if that sibling content is
-a text node)

Michael(tm) Smith: block.xsl

refined spacing around titles for admonitions

Michael(tm) Smith: block.xsl; other.xsl

Deal with case of verbatim environments that have a linebreak
-after the opening tag. Assumption is that users generally don't
-want that linebreak to appear in output, so we do some groff
-hackery to mess with vertical spacing and close the space.

Michael(tm) Smith: inline.xsl

indexterm instances now produce groff comments like this:
-
-  .\" primary: secondary: tertiary
-
-remark instances, if non-empty, now produce groff comments

Michael(tm) Smith: charmap.groff.xsl; other.xsl

convert no-break space character to groff "\ \&" (instead of just
-"\ "). the reason is that if a space occurs at the end of a line,
-our processing causes it to be eaten. a real-world case of this is
-the mysql(1) man page. appending the "\&" prevents that

Michael(tm) Smith: block.xsl

output "sp" before simpara output, not after it (outputting it
-after results in undesirable whitespace in particular cases; for
-example, in the hg/mercurial docs

Michael(tm) Smith: table.xsl; synop.xsl; utility.xsl

renamed from title-preamble to pinch.together and replaced "sp -1"
-between synopsis fragments with call to pinch.together instead

Michael(tm) Smith: table.xsl

use title-preamble template for table titles (instead of "sp -1"
-hack), and "sp 1" after all tables (instead of just "sp"

Michael(tm) Smith: utility.xsl

created title-preamble template for suppressing line spacing after
-headings

Michael(tm) Smith: info.xsl

further refinement of indenting in AUTHORS section

-
Michael(tm) Smith: block.xsl; other.xsl
```
refined handling of admonitions
```
-

Michael(tm) Smith: lists.xsl

Use RS/RE in another place where we had IP ""

Michael(tm) Smith: info.xsl

Replace (ab)use of IP with "sp -1" in AUTHORS section with RS/RE
-instead.

-
Michael(tm) Smith: table.xsl; synop.xsl; info.xsl
```
changed all instances of ".sp -1n" to ".sp -1"
```
-

Michael(tm) Smith: other.xsl

add extra line before SH heads only in non-TTY output

Michael(tm) Smith: block.xsl

Reworked output for admonitions (caution, important, note, tip,
-warning). In TTY output, admonitions now get indented. In non-TTY
-output, a colored marker (yellow) is displayed next to them.

Michael(tm) Smith: other.xsl

Added BM/EM macros for putting a colored marker in margin next to
-a block of text.

Michael(tm) Smith: utility.xsl

created make.bold.title template by moving title-bolding part out
-from nested-section-title template. This allows the bolding to
-also be used by the template for formatting admonitions

Michael(tm) Smith: info.xsl

put .br before copyright contents to prevent them from getting run in

Michael(tm) Smith: refentry.xsl; other.xsl; utility.xsl

made point size of output for Refsect2 and Refsect3 heads bigger

Michael(tm) Smith: other.xsl

put slightly more space between SH head and underline in non-TTY
-output

Michael(tm) Smith: param.xweb; param.ent; other.xsl

Added the man.charmap.subset.profile.english parameter and refined
-the handling of charmap subsets to differentiate between English
-and non-English source.
-
-This way charmap subsets are now handled is this:
-
-If the value of the man.charmap.use.subset parameter is non-zero,
-and your DocBook source is not written in English (that is, if its
-lang or xml:lang attribute has a value other than en), then the
-character-map subset specified by the man.charmap.subset.profile
-parameter is used instead of the full roff character map.
-
-Otherwise, if the lang or xml:lang attribute on the root element
-in your DocBook source or on the first refentry element in your
-source has the value en or if it has no lang or xml:lang
-attribute, then the character-map subset specified by the
-man.charmap.subset.profile.english parameter is used instead of
-man.charmap.subset.profile.
-
-The difference between the two subsets is that
-man.charmap.subset.profile provides mappings for characters in
-Western European languages that are not part of the Roman
-(English) alphabet (ASCII character set).

Michael(tm) Smith: other.xsl

Various updates, mainly related to uppercasing SH titles:
-
-  - added a "Language: " metadata line to the top comment area of
-    output man pages, to indicate the language the page is in
-
-  - added a "toupper" macro of doing locale-aware uppercasing of
-    SH titles and cross-references to SH titles; the mechanism
-    relies on the uppercase.alpha and lowercase.alpha DocBook
-    gentext keys to do locale-aware uppercasing based on the
-    language the page is written in
-
-  - added a "string.shuffle" template, which provides a library
-    function for "shuffling" two strings together into a single
-    string; it takes the first character for the first string, the
-    first character from second string, etc. The only current use
-    for it is to generate the argument for the groff tr request
-    that does string uppercasing.
-
-  - added make.tr.uppercase.arg and make.tr.normalcase.arg named
-    templates for use in generating groff code for uppercasing and
-    "normal"-casing SH titles
-
-  - made the BB/BE "background drawing" macros have effect only in
-    non-TTY output
-
-  - output a few comments in the top part of source

-
Michael(tm) Smith: utility.xsl
```
removed some leftover kruft
```
-

Michael(tm) Smith: refentry.xsl

To create the name(s) for each man page, we now replace any spaces
-in the refname(s) with underscores. This ensures that tools like
-lexgrog(1) will be able to parse the name (lexgrog won't parse
-names that contain spaces).

Michael(tm) Smith: docbook.xsl

Put a comment into source of man page to indicate where the main
-content starts. (We now have a few of macro definitions at the
-start of the source, so putting this comment in helps those that
-might be viewing the source.)

Michael(tm) Smith: refentry.xsl

refined mechanism for generating SH titles

Michael(tm) Smith: charmap.groff.xsl

Added zcaron, Zcaron, scaron, and Scaron to the groff character map.
-This means that generated Finnish man pages will no longer contain
-any raw accented characters -- they'll instead by marked up with
-groff escapes.

Michael(tm) Smith: other.xsl; utility.xsl

corrected a regression I introduced about a year ago that caused
-dots to be output just as "\." -- instead needs to be "\&." (which
-is what it will be now, after this change)

Michael(tm) Smith: refentry.xsl

Changed backend handling for generating titles for SH sections and
-for cross-references to those sections. This should have no effect
-on TTY output (behavior should remain the same hopefully) but
-results in titles in normal case (instead of uppercase) in PS
-output.

Michael(tm) Smith: info.xsl

use make.subheading template to make subheadings for AUTHORS and
-COPYRIGHT sections (instead of harcoding roff markup)

Michael(tm) Smith: block.xsl

put code font around programlisting etc.

Michael(tm) Smith: synop.xsl; docbook.xsl

embed custom macro definitions in man pages, plus wrap synopsis in
-code font

Michael(tm) Smith: endnotes.xsl

use the make.subheading template to generated SH subheading for
-endnotes section.

Michael(tm) Smith: lists.xsl

Added some templates for generating if-then-else conditional
-markup in groff, so let's use those instead of hard-coding it in
-multiple places...

Michael(tm) Smith: other.xsl; utility.xsl

Initial checkin of some changes related to making PS/PDF output
-from "man -l -Tps" look better. The current changes:
-
-  - render synopsis and verbatim sections in a monospace/code font
-
-  - put a light-grey background behind all programlisting, screen,
-    and literallayout instances
-
-  - prevent SH heads in PS output from being rendered in uppercase
-    (as they are in console output)
-
-  - also display xrefs to SH heads in PS output in normal case
-    (instead of uppercase)
-
-  - draw a line under SH heads in PS output
-
-The changes made to the code to support the above features were:
-
-  - added some embedded/custom macros: one for conditionally
-    upper-casing SH x-refs, one for redefining the SH macro
-    itself, with some conditional handling for PS output, and
-    finally a macro for putting a background/screen (filled box)
-    around a block of text (e.g., a program listing) in PS output
-
-  - added utility templates for wrapping blocks of text in code
-    font; also templates for inline code font

Robert Stayton: refentry.xsl

refpurpose nodes now get apply-templates instead of just normalize-space().

Michael(tm) Smith: lists.xsl

Fixed alignment of first lined of text for each listitem in
-orderedlist output for TTY. Existing code seemed to have been
-causing an extra undesirable space to appear.

Michael(tm) Smith: lists.xsl

Wrapped some roff conditionals around roff markup for orderedlist
-and itemizedlist output, so that the lists look acceptable in PS
-output as well as TTY.

Michael(tm) Smith: pi.xsl; synop.xsl; param.xweb; param.ent

Added the man.funcsynopsis.style parameter. Has the same effect in
-manpages output as the funcsynopsis.style parameter has in HTML
-output -- except that its default value is 'ansi' instead of 'kr'.

Michael(tm) Smith: synop.xsl

Reworked handling of K&R funcprototype output. It no longer relies
-on the HTML kr-tabular templates, but instead just does direct
-transformation to roff. For K&R output, it displays the paramdef
-output in an indented list following the prototype.

Michael(tm) Smith: synop.xsl

Properly integrated handling for K&R output into manpages
-stylesheet. The choice between K&R output and ANSI output is
-currently controlled through use of the (HTML) funcsynopsis.style
-parameter. Note that because the mechanism does currently rely on
-funcsynopsis.style, the default in manpages output is now K&R
-(because that's the default of that param). But I suppose I ought
-to create a man.funcsynopsis.style and make the default for that
-ANSI (to preserve the existing default behavior).

-
Michael(tm) Smith: docbook.xsl
```
added manpages/pi.xsl file
```
-

Michael(tm) Smith: .cvsignore; pi.xsl

Added "dbman funcsynopsis-style" PI and incorporated it into the
-doc build.

Michael(tm) Smith: refentry.xsl

Fixed regression that caused an unescaped dash to be output
-between refname and refpurpose content. Closes bug #1894244.
-Thanks to Daniel Leidert.

Michael(tm) Smith: other.xsl

Fixed problem with dots being escaped in filenames of generated
-man files. Closes #1827195. Thanks to Daniel Leidert.

Michael(tm) Smith: inline.xsl

Added support for processing structfield (was appearing in roff
-output surrounded by HTML <em> tags; fixed so that it gets roff
-ital markup). Closes bug #1858329.  Thanks to Sam Varshavchik.

Slides

- -

The following changes have been made to the - slides code - since the 1.73.2 release.

Michael(tm) Smith: fo/Makefile; html/Makefile

Added checks and hacks to various makefiles to enable building
-under Cygwin. This stuff is ugly and maybe not worth the mess and
-trouble, but does seem to work as expected and not break anything
-else.

-
Jirka Kosek: html/plain.xsl
```
Added support for showing foil number
```
-

- -

Website

- -

The following changes have been made to the - website code - since the 1.73.2 release.

-
Michael(tm) Smith: extensions/saxon64/.classes/.gitignore; extensions/xalan2/.classes/com/⋯
```
renamed a bunch more .cvsignore files to .gitignore (to facilitate use of git-svn)
```
-

- -

Params

- -

The following changes have been made to the - params code - since the 1.73.2 release.

Keith Fahlgren: epub.autolabel.xml
```
New parameter for epub, epub.autolabel
```
-
Mauritz Jeanson: table.frame.border.color.xml; table.cell.padding.xml; table.cell.border.t⋯
```
Added missing refpurposes and descriptions.
```
-

Keith Fahlgren: ade.extensions.xml

Extensions to support Adobe Digital Editions extensions in .epub output.

Mauritz Jeanson: fop.extensions.xml; fop1.extensions.xml

Clarified that fop1.extensions is for FOP 0.90 and later. Version 1 is not here yet...

Michael(tm) Smith: man.links.are.underlined.xml; man.endnotes.list.enabled.xml; man.font.l⋯

removed man.links.are.underlined and added man.font.links. Also,
-changed the default font formatting for links to bold.

Michael(tm) Smith: man.base.url.for.relative.links.xml

Added new param man.base.url.for.relative.links .. specifies a
-base URL for relative links (for ulink, @xlink:href, imagedata,
-audiodata, videodata) shown in the generated NOTES section of
-man-page output. The value of man.base.url.for.relative.links is
-prepended to any relative URI that is a value of ulink url,
-xlink:href, or fileref attribute.
-
-If you use relative URIs in link sources in your DocBook refentry
-source, and you leave man.base.url.for.relative.links unset, the
-relative links will appear "as is" in the NOTES section of any
-man-page output generated from your source. That's probably not
-what you want, because such relative links are only usable in the
-context of HTML output. So, to make the links meaningful and
-usable in the context of man-page output, set a value for
-man.base.url.for.relative.links that points
-to the online version of HTML output generated from your DocBook
-refentry source. For example:
-
-  <xsl:param name="man.base.url.for.relative.links"
-  >http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/</xsl:param>

Michael(tm) Smith: man.string.subst.map.xml

squeeze .sp\n.sp into a single .sp (to prevent a extra, spurious
-line of whitespace from being inserted after programlisting etc.
-in certain cases)

Michael(tm) Smith: refentry.manual.fallback.profile.xml; refentry.source.fallback.profile.⋯

don't use refmiscinfo@class=date value as fallback for refentry
-"source" or "manual" metadata fields

-
Michael(tm) Smith: man.charmap.subset.profile.xml; man.charmap.enabled.xml; man.charmap.su⋯
```
made some further doc tweaks related to the
-man.charmap.subset.profile.english param
```
-

Michael(tm) Smith: man.charmap.subset.profile.xml; man.charmap.enabled.xml; man.charmap.su⋯

Added the man.charmap.subset.profile.english parameter and refined
-the handling of charmap subsets to differentiate between English
-and non-English source.
-
-This way charmap subsets are now handled is this:
-
-If the value of the man.charmap.use.subset parameter is non-zero,
-and your DocBook source is not written in English (that is, if its
-lang or xml:lang attribute has a value other than en), then the
-character-map subset specified by the man.charmap.subset.profile
-parameter is used instead of the full roff character map.
-
-Otherwise, if the lang or xml:lang attribute on the root element
-in your DocBook source or on the first refentry element in your
-source has the value en or if it has no lang or xml:lang
-attribute, then the character-map subset specified by the
-man.charmap.subset.profile.english parameter is used instead of
-man.charmap.subset.profile.
-
-The difference between the two subsets is that
-man.charmap.subset.profile provides mappings for characters in
-Western European languages that are not part of the Roman
-(English) alphabet (ASCII character set).

Michael(tm) Smith: man.charmap.subset.profile.xml

Added to default charmap used by manpages:
-
-  - the "letters" part of the 'C1 Controls And Latin-1 Supplement
-    (Latin-1 Supplement)' Unicode block
-  - Latin Extended-A block (but not all of the characters from
-    that block have mappings in groff, so some of them are still
-    passed through as-is)
-
-The effects of this change are that in man pages generated for
-most Western European languages and for Finnish, all characters
-not part of the Roman alphabet are (e.g., "accented" characters)
-are converted to groff escapes.
-
-Previously, by default we passed through those characters as is
-(and users needed to use the full charmap if they wanted to have
-those characters converted).
-
-As a result of this change, man pages generated for Western
-European languages will be viewable in some environments in which
-they are not viewable if the "raw" non-Roman characters are in them.

-
Mauritz Jeanson: generate.legalnotice.link.xml; generate.revhistory.link.xml
```
Added information on how the filename is computed.
```
-
-
Mauritz Jeanson: default.table.width.xml
```
Clarified PI usage.
```
-

Michael(tm) Smith: man.funcsynopsis.style.xml

Added the man.funcsynopsis.style parameter. Has the same effect in
-manpages output as the funcsynopsis.style parameter has in HTML
-output -- except that its default value is 'ansi' instead of 'kr'.

Michael(tm) Smith: funcsynopsis.tabular.threshold.xml

Removed the funcsynopsis.tabular.threshold param. It's no longer
-being used in the code and hasn't been since mid 2006.

Mauritz Jeanson: table.properties.xml

Set keep-together.within-column to "auto". This seems to be the most sensible
-default value for tables.

-
Mauritz Jeanson: informal.object.properties.xml; admon.graphics.extension.xml; informalequ⋯

Profiling

- -

The following changes have been made to the - profiling code - since the 1.73.2 release.

Jirka Kosek: xsl2profile.xsl

Added new rules to profile all content generated by HTML Help (including alias files)

Robert Stayton: profile-mode.xsl

use mode="profile" instead of xsl:copy-of for attributes so
-they can be more easily customized.

- - -

Tools

- -

The following changes have been made to the - tools code - since the 1.73.2 release.

Michael(tm) Smith: make/Makefile.DocBook

various changes and additions to support making with asciidoc as
-an input format

Michael(tm) Smith: make/Makefile.DocBook

make dblatex the default PDF maker for the example makefile

Michael(tm) Smith: xsl/build/html2roff.xsl

Reworked handling of K&R funcprototype output. It no longer relies
-on the HTML kr-tabular templates, but instead just does direct
-transformation to roff. For K&R output, it displays the paramdef
-output in an indented list following the prototype.

Mauritz Jeanson: xsl/build/make-xsl-params.xsl

Made attribute-sets members of the param list. This enables links to attribute-sets in the
-reference documentation.

Michael(tm) Smith: xsl/build/html2roff.xsl

use .BI handling in K&R funsynopsis output for manpages, just as
-we do already of ANSI output

Michael(tm) Smith: xsl/build/html2roff.xsl

Implemented initial support for handling tabular K&R output of
-funcprototype in manpages output. Accomplished by adding more
-templates to the intermediate HTML-to-roff stylesheet that the
-build uses to create the manpages/html-synop.xsl stylesheet.

Michael(tm) Smith: xsl/build/doc-link-docbook.xsl

Made the xsl/tools/xsl/build/doc-link-docbook.xsl stylesheet
-import profile-docbook.xsl, so that we can do profiling of release
-notes. Corrected some problems in the target for the release-notes
-HTML build.

- -

Extensions

Release Notes: 1.73.2

- -

This is solely a minor bug-fix update to the 1.73.1 release. - It fixes a packaging error in the 1.73.1 package, as well as a - bug in footnote handling in FO output.

- -

Release: 1.73.1

- -

This is mostly a bug-fix update to the 1.73.0 release.

FO

- -

The following changes have been made to the - fo code - since the 1.73.0 release.

Mauritz Jeanson: table.xsl

Modified the tgroup template so that, for tables with multiple tgroups, 
-a width attribute is output on all corresponding fo:tables. Previously, 
-there was a test prohibiting this (and a comment saying that outputting more
-than one width attribute will cause an error). But this seems to be no longer 
-relevant; it is not a problem with FOP 0.93 or XEP 4.10. Closes bug #1760559.

Mauritz Jeanson: graphics.xsl

Replaced useless <a> elements with warning messages (textinsert extension).

Mauritz Jeanson: admon.xsl

Enabled generation of ids (on fo:wrapper) for indexterms in admonition titles, so that page
-references in the index can be created. Closes bug #1775086.

Michael(tm) Smith: pi.xsl; synop.xsl

Changed handling of HTML output for the cmdsynopsis and
-funcsynopsis elements, such that a@id instances are generated for
-them if they are descendants of any element containing a dbcmdlist
-or dbfunclist PI. Also, update the embedded reference docs for the
-dbcmdlist and dbfunclist PIs to make it clear that they can be
-used within any element for which cmdsynopsis or funcsynopsis are
-valid children.

Michael(tm) Smith: formal.xsl

Reverted the part of revision 6952 that caused a@id anchors to be
-generated for output of informal objects. Thanks to Sam Steingold
-for reporting.

Robert Stayton: glossary.xsl

Account for a glossary with no glossdiv or glossentry children.

Mauritz Jeanson: titlepage.xsl

Modified legalnotice template so that the base.name parameter is calculated 
-in the same way as for revhistory chunks. Using <xsl:apply-templates 
-mode="chunk-filename" select="."/> did not work for single-page output since
-the template with that mode is in chunk-code.xsl.

Mauritz Jeanson: graphics.xsl

Updated support for SVG (must be a child of imagedata in DB 5).
-Added support for MathML in imagedata.

Mauritz Jeanson: pi.xsl

Added documentation for the dbhh PI (used for context-sensitive HTML Help).
-(The two templates matching 'dbhh' are still in htmlhelp-common.xsl).

- -

The following changes have been made to the - manpages code - since the 1.73.0 release.

Michael(tm) Smith: endnotes.xsl

```
Regular formatting re-org.
```
-

- -

Release: 1.73.0

- -

This release includes important bug fixes and adds the following -significant feature changes: -

New localizations and localization updates: -
We added two new localizations: Latvian and - Esperanto, and made updates to the Czech, Chinese - Simplified, Mongolian, Serbian, Italian, and Ukrainian - localizations.
-
ISO690 citation style for bibliography output.: -
Set the - bibliography.style parameter to - iso690 to use ISO690 style.
-
New documentation for processing instructions (PI): -
The reference documentation that ships with the - release now includes documentation on all PIs that you can use to - control output from the stylesheets.
-
New profiling parameters for audience and wordsize: -
You can now do profiling based on the values of the - audience and - wordsize attributes.
-
Changes to man-page output: -
The manpages stylesheet now supports single-pass - profiling and single-pass DocBook 5 namespace stripping - (just as the HTML and FO stylesheets also do). Also, added - handling for mediaobject & - inlinemediaobject. (Each imagedata, - audiodata, or videodata element - within a mediaobject or inline - mediaobject is now treated as a "notesource" - and so handled in much the same way as links and - annotation/alt/footnote - are in manpages output.) And added the - man.authors.section.enabled and - man.copyright.section.enabled - parameters to enable control over whether output includes - auto-generated AUTHORS and - COPYRIGHT sections.
-
Highlighting support for C: -
The highlighting mechanism for generating - syntax-highlighted code snippets in output now supports C - code listings (along with Java, PHP, XSLT, and others).
-
Experimental docbook-xsl-update script: -
We added an experimental docbook-xsl-update - script, the purpose of which is to facilitate - easy sync-up to the latest docbook-xsl snapshot (by means - of rsync).
-

- -

Moved declaration and documentation of javahelp.encoding from javahelp.xsl to the
-regular "parameter machinery".

Michael(tm) Smith: admon.xsl

-(Previously, we were outputting an empty h3 if the admon.textlabel
-was zero and if the admonition had no title.)

-Because sometimes you really don't want or need that title
-there...

Michael(tm) Smith: chunk-code.xsl; graphics.xsl

When we are chunking long descriptions for mediaobject instances
-into separate HTML output files, and use.id.as.filename is
-non-zero, if a mediaobject has an ID, use that ID as the basename
-for the long-description file (otherwise, we generate an ID for it
-and use that ID as the basename for the file).
-The parallels the recent change made to cause IDs for legalnotice
-instances to be used as basenames for legalnotice chunks.
-Also, made some minor refinements to the recent changes for
-legalnotice chunk handling.

Michael(tm) Smith: titlepage.xsl

Added support to the HTML stylesheets for proper processing of

Michael(tm) Smith: chunk-code.xsl

When $generate.legalnotice.link is non-zero and
-$use.id.as.filename is also non-zero, if a legalnotice has an ID,
-then instead of assigning the "ln-<generatedID>" basename to the
-output file for that legalnotice, just use its real ID as the
-basename for the file -- as we do when chunking other elements
-that have IDs.

David Cramer: xref.xsl

Handle alt text on xrefs to steps when the step doesn't have a title.

David Cramer: lists.xsl

Added <p> element around term in variablelist when formatted as table to avoid misalignment of term and listitem in xhtml (non-quirks mode) output

David Cramer: qandaset.xsl

Added <p> element around question and answer labels to avoid misalignment of label and listitem in xhtml (non-quirks mode) output

-* Added curly braces around all $language attribute values. 
-* Moved declaration of language variable to top level of stylesheet.
-Tested with Xalan, Saxon, and xsltproc.

Manpages

- -

The following changes have been made to the - manpages code - since the 1.72.0 release.

Michael(tm) Smith: param.xweb; docbook.xsl; param.ent

Added the man.authors.section.enabled and
-man.copyright.section.enabled parameters. Set those to zero when
-you want to suppress display of the auto-generated AUTHORS and
-COPYRIGHT sections. Closes request #1467806. Thanks to Daniel
-Leidert.

Michael(tm) Smith: docbook.xsl

Took the test that the manpages stylesheet does to see if there
-are any Refentry chilren in current doc, and made it
-namespace-agnostic. Reason for that is because the test otherwise
-won't work when it is copied over into the generated
-profile-docbook.xsl stylesheet.

Michael(tm) Smith: Makefile

Added a manpages/profile-docbook.xsl file to enable single-pass
-profiling for manpages output.

Michael(tm) Smith: info.xsl

Output copyright and legalnotice in man-page output in whatever
-place they are in in document order. Closes #1690539. Thanks to
-Daniel Leidert for reporting.

Michael(tm) Smith: docbook.xsl

Restored support for single-pass namespace stripping to manpages
-stylesheet.

Michael(tm) Smith: synop.xsl; block.xsl; info.xsl; inline.xsl; lists.xsl; endnotes.xsl; ut⋯

Changed handling of bold and italic/underline output in manpages
-output. Should be transparent to users, but...
-
-This touches handling of all bold and italic/underline output. The
-exact change is that the mode="bold" and mode="italic" utility
-templates were changed to named templates. (I think maybe I've
-changed it back and forth from mode to named before, so this is
-maybe re-reverting it yet again).
-
-Anyway, the reason for the change is that the templates are
-sometimes call on dynamically node-sets, and using modes to format
-those doesn't allow passing info about the current/real context
-node from the source (not the node-set created by the stylesheet)
-to that formatting stage.
-
-The named templates allow the context to be passed in as a
-parameter, so that the bold/ital formatting template can use
-context-aware condition checking.
-
-This was basically necessary in order to suppress bold formatting
-in titles, which otherwise gets screwed up because of the numbnut
-way that roff handles nested bold/ital.
-
-Closes #1674534). Much thanks to Daniel Leidert, whose in his
-docbook-xsl bug-finding kung-fu has achieved Grand Master status.

Michael(tm) Smith: block.xsl

Fixed handling of example instances by adding the example element
-to the same template we use for processing figure. Closes
-#1674538. Thanks to Daniel Leidert.

Michael(tm) Smith: utility.xsl

Don't include lang in manpages filename/pathname if lang=en (that
-is, only generate lang-qualified file-/pathnames for non-English).

Michael(tm) Smith: endnotes.xsl

In manpages output, emit warnings for notesources (footnote, etc.)
-that have something other than para as a child.
-
-The numbered-with-hanging-indent formatting that's used for
-rendering endnotes in the NOTES section of man pages places some
-limits/assumptions on how the DocBook source is marked up; namely,
-for notesources (footnote, annotation, etc.) that can contain
-block-level children, if the they have a block-level child such as
-a table or itemizedlist or orderedlist that is the first child of
-a footnote, we have no way of rendering/indenting its content
-properly in the endnotes list.
-
-Thus, the manpages stylesheet not emits a warning message for that
-case, and suggests the "fix" (which is to wrap the table or
-itemizedlist or whatever in a para that has some preferatory text.

Michael(tm) Smith: utility.xsl

Added support to mixed-block template for handling tables in
-mixed-blocks (e.g., as child of para) correctly.

Michael(tm) Smith: table.xsl; synop.xsl; block.xsl; info.xsl; lists.xsl; refentry.xsl; end⋯

Reverted necessary escaping of backslash, dot, and dash
-out of the well-intentioned (but it now appears,
-misguided) "marker" mechanism (introduced in the 1.72.0
-release) -- which made use of alternative "marker"
-characters as internal representations of those
-characters, and then replaced them just prior to
-serialization -- and back into what's basically the
-system that was used prior to the 1.69.0 release; that
-is, into a part of stylesheet code that gets executed
-at the beginning of processing -- before any other roff
-markup up is. This change obviates the need for the
-marker system. It also requires a lot less RAM during
-processing (for large files, the marker mechanism
-ending up requiring gigabytes of memory).
-
-Closes bug #1661177. Thanks to Scott Smedley for
-providing a test case (the fvwm man page) that exposed
-the problem with the marker mechanism.
-
-Also moved the mechanism for converting non-breaking
-spaces back into the same area of the stylesheet code.

Michael(tm) Smith: lists.xsl

Fixed problem with incorrect formatting of nested variablelist.
-Closes bug #1650931. Thanks to Daniel "Eagle Eye" Leidert.

Michael(tm) Smith: lists.xsl

Make sure that all listitems in itemizedlist and orderedlist are
-preceded by a blank line. This fixes a regression that occurred
-when instances of the TP macro that were use in a previous
-versions of the list-handling code were switched to RS/RE (because
-TP doesn't support nesting). TP automatically generates a blank
-line, but RS doesn't. So I added a .sp before each .RS

Michael(tm) Smith: block.xsl; inline.xsl; param.xweb; docbook.xsl; links.xsl; param.ent

Made a number of changes related to elements with
-out-of-line content:
-
-- Added handling for mediaobject & inlinemediaobject.
-  Each imagedata, audiodata, or videodata element
-  within a mediaobject or inline mediaobject is now
-  treated as a "notesource" and so handled in much the
-  same way as links and annotation/alt/footnotes.
-
-  That means a numbered marker is generated inline to
-  mark the place in the main flow where the imagedata,
-  audiodata, or videodata element occurs, and a
-  corresponding numbered endnote for it is generated in
-  the endnotes list at the end of the man page; the
-  endnote contains the URL from the fileref attribute
-  of the imagedata, audiodata, or videodata element.
-
-  For mediobject and inlinemediaobject instances that
-  have a textobject child, the textobject is displayed
-  within the main text flow.
-
-- Renamed several man.link.* params to man.endnotes.*,
-  to reflect that fact that the endnotes list now
-  contains more than just links. Also did similar
-  renaming for a number of stylesheet-internal vars.
-
-- Added support for xlink:href (along with existing
-  support for the legacy ulink element).
-
-- Cleaned up and streamlined the endnotes-handling
-  code. It's still messy and klunky and the basic
-  mechanism it uses is very inefficent for documents
-  that contain a lot of notesources, but at least it's
-  a bit better than it was.

Release: 1.72.0

- -

This release includes important bug fixes and adds the following -significant feature changes: -

Automatic sorting of glossary entries

The HTML and FO stylesheets now support automatic sorting - of glossary entries. To enable glossary sorting, set - the value of the glossary.sort parameter - to 1 (by default, it’s value is - 0). When you enable glossary sorting, - glossentry elements within a glossary, - glossdiv, or glosslist are sorted on the - glossterm, using the current language setting. If you - don’t enable glossary sorting, then the order of - glossentry elements is left “as is” — that is, they - are not sorted but are instead just displayed in document - order.

WordML renamed to Roundtrip, OpenOffice support added

Stylesheets for “roundtrip” conversion between documents in - OpenOffice format (ODF) and DocBook XML have been added to the set - of stylesheets that formerly had the collective title - WordML, and that set of stylesheets has - been renamed to Roundtrip to better - reflect the actual scope and purpose of its contents.

So the DocBook XSL Stylesheets now support roundtrip - conversion (with certain limitations) of WordML, OpenOffice, and - Apple Pages documents to and from DocBook XML.

Including QandASet questions in TOCs

The HTML stylesheet now provides support for including - QandASet questions in the document TOC. To - enable display of questions in the document TOC, set - the value of the qanda.in.toc to - 1 (by default, it’s 0). When you - enable qanda.in.toc, then the generated - table of contents for a document will include - qandaset titles, qandadiv titles, and - question elements. The default value of zero - excludes them from the TOC. -

Note

The qanda.in.toc parameter does - not affect any tables of contents that may be generated - within a qandaset or - qandadiv (only in the document TOC).

Language identifier in man-page filenames and pathnames

Added new parameter man.output.lang.in.name.enabled, which controls whether - a language identifier is included in man-page filenames and - pathnames. It works like this:

- -

If the value of man.output.lang.in.name.enabled is non-zero, - man-page files are output with a language identifier included in - their filenames or pathnames as follows:

- -

if - man.output.subdirs.enabled is non-zero, - each file is output to, e.g., a - /$lang/man8/foo.8 pathname
if - man.output.subdirs.enabled is zero, - each file is output with a foo.$lang.8 - filename

- -

index.page.number.properties property set

For FO output, use the - index.page.number.properties to control - formatting of page numbers in index output — to (for - example) to display page numbers in index output in a - different color (to indicate that they are links).

Crop marks in output from Antenna House XSL Formatter

Support has been added for generating crop marks in - print/PDF output generated using Antenna House XSL Formatter

More string-substitution hooks in manpages output

The man.string.subst.map.local.pre - and man.string.subst.map.local.post - parameters have been added to enable easier control over - custom string substitutions.

Moved verbatim properties to attribute-set

The hardcoded properties used in verbatim elements (literallayout, - programlisting, screen) were moved to the verbatim.properties - attribute-set so they can be more easily customized.

enhanced simple.xlink template

Now the simple.xlink template in inline.xsl works with - cross reference elements xref and link as well. Also, more elements - call simple.xlink, which enables DB5 xlink functionality. -

DocBook 5 compatibility

Stylesheets now consistently support DocBook 5 attributes - (such as xml:id). Also, DocBook 5 info elements are now checked - along with other *info elements, and the use of name() function - was replaced by local-name() so it also matches on DocBook 5 elements. - These changes enable reusing the stylesheets with DocBook 5 - documents with minimal fixup. -

HTML class attributes now handled in class.attribute mode

The HTML class attributes were formerly hardcoded to the - element name. Now the class attribute is generated by applying - templates in class.attribute mode so class attribute names - can be customized. The default is still the element name.

arabic-indic numbering enabled in autolabels

Numbering of chapter, sections, and pages can now use - arabic-indic numbering when number format is set to 'arabicindic' or - to ١.

-The following is a detailed list of changes (not -including bug fixes) that have been made since the 1.71.1 -release.

Add support for sorting glossary entries
-
-
Add support for qanda.in.toc to add qandaentry questions to document TOC.
-
-
add simple.xlink support to variablelist term and simplelist member.
-
-
*.propagates.style now handled in class.attribute mode.
-
-
add class parameter to class.attribute mode to set default class.
-
-
Convert all class attributes to use the class.attribute mode
-so class names can be customized more easily.
-
-

-
-
Add support for info.
-
-
Fixed imagemaps so they work properly going from calspair coords
-to HTML area coords.
-

- -

Manpages

- -

The following changes have been made to the - manpages code - since the 1.71.1 release.

-
Added doc for man.output.lang.in.name.enabled parameter. This
-checkin completes support for writing file/pathnames for man-pages
-with $lang include in the names. Closes #1585967. knightly
-accolades to Daniel Leidert for providing the feature request.
-
-
Added new param man.output.lang.in.name.enabled, which
-controls whether $LANG value is included in manpages
-filenames and pathnames. It works like this:
-
-If the value of man.output.lang.in.name.enabled is non-zero,
-man-page files are output with the $lang value included in
-their filenames or pathnames as follows;
-
-- if man.output.subdirs.enabled is non-zero, each file is
- output to, e.g., a /$lang/man8/foo.8 pathname
-
-- if man.output.subdirs.enabled is zero, each file is output
- with a foo.$lang.8 filename
-
-
Use "\e" instead of "\\" for backslash output, because the
-groff docs say that's the correct thing to do; also because
-testing (thanks, Paul Dubois) shows that "\\" doesn't always
-work as expected; for example, "\\" within a table seems to
-mess things up.
-
-
Added the man.string.subst.map.local.pre and
-man.string.subst.map.local.post parameters. Those parameters
-enable local additions and changes to string-substitution mappings
-without the need to change the value of man.string.subst.map
-parameter (which is for standard system mappings). Closes
-#1456738. Thanks to Sam Steingold for constructing a true
-stylesheet torture test (the clisp docs) that exposed the need for
-these params.
-
-
Added the Markup element to the list of elements that get output
-in bold. Thanks to Eric S. Raymond.
-
-
Replaced all dots in roff requests with U+2302 ("house"
-character), and added escaping in output for all instances of dot
-that are not in roff requests. This fixes the problem case where a
-string beginning with a dot (for example, the string ".bashrc")
-might occur at the beginning of a line in output, in which case
-would mistakenly get interpreted as a roff request. Thanks to Eric
-S. Raymond for pushing to fix this.
-
-
Made change to ensure that list content nested in
-itemizedlist and orderedlist instances is properly indented. This
-is a switch from using .TP to format those lists to using .RS/.RE
-to format them instead (because .TP does not allow nesting). Closes bug #1602616.
-Thanks to Daniel Leidert.
-

- -

Params

- -

The following changes have been made to the - params code - since the 1.71.1 release.

-
Added doc for man.output.lang.in.name.enabled parameter. This
-checkin completes support for writing file/pathnames for man-pages
-with $lang include in the names. Closes #1585967. knightly
-accolades to Daniel Leidert for providing the feature request.
-
-
Added new param man.output.lang.in.name.enabled, which
-controls whether $LANG value is included in manpages
-filenames and pathnames. It works like this:
-
-If the value of man.output.lang.in.name.enabled is non-zero,
-man-page files are output with the $lang value included in
-their filenames or pathnames as follows;
-
-- if man.output.subdirs.enabled is non-zero, each file is
- output to, e.g., a /$lang/man8/foo.8 pathname
-
-- if man.output.subdirs.enabled is zero, each file is output
- with a foo.$lang.8 filename
-
-
Added the man.string.subst.map.local.pre and
-man.string.subst.map.local.post parameters. Those parameters
-enable local additions and changes to string-substitution mappings
-without the need to change the value of man.string.subst.map
-parameter (which is for standard system mappings). Closes
-#1456738. Thanks to Sam Steingold for constructing a true
-stylesheet torture test (the clisp docs) that exposed the need for
-these params.

Template

- -

The following changes have been made to the - template code - since the 1.71.1 release.

-
Added workaround for Xalan bug: use for-each and copy instead of copy-of (#1604770).
-

- -

Roundtrip

- -

The following changes have been made to the - roundtrip code - since the 1.71.1 release.

-
rename to roundtrip, add OpenOffice support
-

- -

Release: 1.71.1

- -

This is a minor update to the 1.71.0 release. Along with a -number of bug fixes, it includes two feature changes: - -

-
Added support for profiling based on xml:lang and status attributes.
-
-
Added initial support in manpages output for - footnote, annotation, and alt - instances. Basically, they all now get handled the same way - ulink instances are. They are treated as a class as - "note sources": A numbered marker is generated at the place in the - main text flow where they occur, then their contents are displayed - in an endnotes section at the end of the man page.
-

- -

Common

- -

The following changes have been made to the - common code - since the 1.71.1 release.

-
For backward compatability autoidx-ng.xsl is invoking "kosek" indexing method again.
-
-
Add support for Xalan generating a root xml:base like saxon.
-

- -

FO

- -

The following changes have been made to the - fo code - since the 1.71.1 release.

-
For backward compatability autoidx-ng.xsl is invoking "kosek" indexing method again.
-
-
Add support for Xalan to add root node xml:base for db5 docs.
-
-
Added support for profiling based on xml:lang and status attributes.
-

- -

HTML

- -

The following changes have been made to the - html code - since the 1.71.1 release.

-
For backward compatability autoidx-ng.xsl is invoking "kosek" indexing method again.
-
-
Add support for Xalan to add root node xml:base for db5 docs.
-
-
Added support for profiling based on xml:lang and status attributes.
-
-
Made changes in namespace declarations to prevent xmllint's
-canonicalizer from treating them as relative namespace URIs.
-
-  - Changed xmlns:k="java:com.isogen.saxoni18n.Saxoni18nService"
-    to xmlns:k="http://www.isogen.com/functions/com.isogen.saxoni18n.Saxoni18nService";
-    Saxon accepts either form
-    (see http://www.saxonica.com/documentation/extensibility/functions.html);
-    to Saxon, "the part of the URI before the final '/' is immaterial".
-
-  - Changed, e.g. xmlns:xverb="com.nwalsh.xalan.Verbatim" to
-    xmlns:xverb="xalan://com.nwalsh.xalan.Verbatim"; Xalan accepts
-    either form
-    (see http://xml.apache.org/xalan-j/extensions.html#java-namespace-declare);
-    just as Saxon does, it will "simply use the string to the
-    right of the rightmost forward slash as the Java class name".
-
-  - Changed xmlns:xalanredirect="org.apache.xalan.xslt.extensions.Redirect"
-    to xmlns:redirect="http://xml.apache.org/xalan/redirect", and
-    adjusted associated code to make the current Xalan redirect spec.
-    (see http://xml.apache.org/xalan-j/apidocs/org/apache/xalan/lib/Redirect.html)
-
-
Added the html.append and chunk.append parameters. By default, the
-value of both is empty; but the internal DocBook XSL stylesheets
-build sets their value to "<xsl:text>
</xsl:text>", in order
-to ensure that all files in the docbook-xsl-doc package end in a
-newline character. (Because diff and some other tools may emit
-error messages and/or not behave as expected when processing
-files that are not newline-terminated.)
-

- -

Highlighting

- -

The following changes have been made to the - highlighting code - since the 1.71.1 release.

-
Added license information
-

- -

Manpages

- -

The following changes have been made to the - manpages code - since the 1.71.1 release.

-
Added initial support in manpages output for footnote, annotation,
-and alt instances. Basically, they all now get handled the same
-way ulink instances are. They are treated as a class as "note
-sources": A numbered marker is generated at the place in the main
-text flow where they occur, then their contents are displayed in
-an endnotes section at the end of the man page (currently titled
-REFERENCES, for English output, but will be changed to NOTES).
-
-This support is not yet complete. It works for most "normal"
-cases, but probably mishandles a good number of cases. More
-testing will be needed to expose the problems. It may well also
-introduce some bugs and regressions in other areas, including
-basic paragraph handling, handling of "mixed block" content,
-handling of other indented content, and handling of authorblurb
-and personblurb in the AUTHORS section.
-

- -

Params

- -

The following changes have been made to the - params code - since the 1.71.1 release.

-
Added support for profiling based on xml:lang and status attributes.
-
-
Added the html.append and chunk.append parameters. By default, the
-value of both is empty; but the internal DocBook XSL stylesheets
-build sets their value to "<xsl:text>
</xsl:text>", in order
-to ensure that all files in the docbook-xsl-doc package end in a
-newline character. (Because diff and some other tools may emit
-error messages and/or not behave as expected when processing
-files that are not newline-terminated.)
-

- -

Profiling

- -

The following changes have been made to the - profiling code - since the 1.71.1 release.

-
Added support for profiling based on xml:lang and status attributes.
-

- -

Release: 1.71.0

- -

This is mainly a bug fix release, but it also includes two -significant feature changes: -

Highlighting support added

The stylesheets now include support for source-code - highlighting in output of programlisting instances (controlled - through the highlight.source - parameter). The Java-based implementation requires Saxon and - makes use of Michal Molhanec’s XSLTHL. More details are available at Jirka Kosek’s - website:

http://xmlguru.cz/2006/07/docbook-syntax-highlighting

The support is currently limited to highlighting - of XML, Java, PHP, Delphi, Modula-2 sources, and INI - files.

Changes to autoindexing

The templates that handle alternative indexing methods - were reworked to avoid errors produced by certain processors not - being able to tolerate the presence of unused functions. With - this release, none of the code for the 'kimber' or 'kosek' - methods is included in the default stylesheets. In order to use - one of those methods, your customization layer must import one - of the optional stylesheet modules:

- html/autoidx-kosek.xsl -
- html/autoidx-kimber.xsl -
- fo/autoidx-kosek.xsl -
- fo/autoidx-kimber.xsl -

- See the index.method parameter - reference page for more information. -

Two other changes to note: -

- The default indexing method now can handle accented - characters in latin-based alphabets, not just English. This - means accented latin letters will group and sort with their - unaccented counterpart. -
- The default value for the - index.method parameter was changed - from 'english' to 'basic' because now the default method can - handle latin-based alphabets, not just English. -

-The following is a list of changes that have -been made since the 1.70.1 release.

-

The following is a detailed list of enhancements and API - changes that have been made since the 1.69.1 release.

- -

Common

- -

The following changes have been made to the - common code - since the 1.69.1 release.

-
Add the xsl:key for the kimber -indexing method.
-
Modified: common/autoidx-ng.xsl,1.2 - Robert -Stayton
-
-
Add support for -qandaset.
-
Modified: common/labels.xsl,1.37; -common/subtitles.xsl,1.7; common/titles.xsl,1.35 - Robert -Stayton
-
-
Support dbhtml/dbfo start PI for -orderedlist numbering in both HTML and -FO
-
Modified: common/common.xsl,1.61; html/lists.xsl,1.50 - Norman -Walsh
-
-
Added CVS -header.
-
Modified: common/stripns.xsl,1.12 - Robert -Stayton
-
-
Changed content model of text -element to ANY rather than #PCDATA because they could contain -markup.
-
Modified: common/targetdatabase.dtd,1.7 - Robert -Stayton
-
-
Added -refentry.meta.get.quietly param.
-
If zero (the -default), notes and warnings about "missing" markup are generated -during gathering of refentry metadata. If -non-zero, the metadata is gathered "quietly" -- that is, the -notes and warnings are suppressed.
-
NOTE: If you are -processing a large amount of refentry content, you -may be able to speed up processing significantly by setting a -non-zero value for -refentry.meta.get.quietly.
-
Modified: common/refentry.xsl,1.17; -manpages/param.ent,1.15; manpages/param.xweb,1.17; -params/refentry.meta.get.quietly.xml,1.1 - Michael(tm) -Smith
-
-
After namespace stripping, the -source document is the temporary tree created by the stripping -process and it has the wrong base URI for relative -references. Earlier versions of this code used to try to fix that -by patching the elements with relative @fileref attributes. That -was inadequate because it calculated an absolute base URI -without considering that there might be xml:base attributes -already in effect. It seems obvious now that the right thing to -do is simply to put the xml:base on the root of the document. And -that seems to work.
-
Modified: common/stripns.xsl,1.7 - Norman -Walsh
-
-
Added support for "software" and -"sectdesc" class values on refmiscinfo; "software" is -treated identically to "source", and "setdesc" is treated -identically to "manual".
-
Modified: common/refentry.xsl,1.10; -params/man.th.extra2.max.length.xml,1.3; -params/refentry.source.name.profile.xml,1.4 - Michael(tm) -Smith
-
-
Added support for DocBook 5 -namespace-stripping in manpages stylesheet. Closes request -#1210692.
-
Modified: common/common.xsl,1.56; manpages/docbook.xsl,1.57 - -Michael(tm) Smith
-
-
Added <xsl:template -match="/"> to make stripns.xsl usable as a standalone -stylesheet for stripping out DocBook 5/NG to DocBook 4. Note that -DocBook XSLT drivers that include this stylesheet all override -the match="/" template.
-
Modified: common/stripns.xsl,1.4 - Michael(tm) -Smith
-
-
Number figures, examples, and -tables from book if there is no prefix (i.e. if -chapter.autolabel is set to 0). This avoids -having the list of figures where the figures mysteriously restart -their numeration periodically when -chapter.autolabel is set to -0.
-
Modified: common/labels.xsl,1.36 - David Cramer
-
-
Add task template in -title.markup mode.
-
Modified: common/titles.xsl,1.34 - Robert -Stayton
-
-
Add children (with ids) of formal -objects to target data.
-
Modified: common/targets.xsl,1.10 - Robert -Stayton
-
-
Added support for case when -personname doesn't contain specific name markup (as allowed -in DocBook 5.0)
-
Modified: common/common.xsl,1.54 - Jirka -Kosek
-

-
-
Handle the case where the imageFn -is actually a URI. This still needs -work.
-
Modified: extensions/saxon643/com/nwalsh/saxon/ImageIntrinsics.java,1.4 -- Norman Walsh

-
Modified: fo/pagesetup.xsl,1.59 -- Michael(tm) Smith
-

-
Modified: fo/param.xweb,1.100; -html/param.xweb,1.94 - Michael(tm) Smith
-
-
Added two new parameters for -handling of multi-term -varlistentry elements:
-
variablelist.term.break.after: -When the variablelist.term.break.after is -non-zero, it will generate a line break after each -term multi-term -varlistentry.
-
variablelist.term.separator: -When a varlistentry contains multiple term -elements, the string specified in the value of the -variablelist.term.separator parameter is -placed after each term except the last. The default -is ", " (a comma followed by a space). To suppress rendering of -the separator, set the value of -variablelist.term.separator to the empty -string ("").
-
These parameters are primarily intended to be -useful if you have multi-term varlistentries that have long -terms.
-
Closes #1306676. Thanks to Sam Steingold for -providing an example "lots of long terms" doc that demonstrated -the value of having these options.
-
Also, added -normalize-space() call to processing of each -term.
-
This change affects all output formats -(HTML, PDF, manpages). The default behavior should pretty much -remain the same as before, but it is possible (as always) that -the change may introduce some -new bugginess.
-
Modified: fo/lists.xsl,1.62; fo/param.ent,1.88; -fo/param.xweb,1.99; html/lists.xsl,1.48; html/param.ent,1.86; -html/param.xweb,1.93; manpages/lists.xsl,1.22; -manpages/param.ent,1.14; manpages/param.xweb,1.16; -params/variablelist.term.break.after.xml,1.1; -params/variablelist.term.separator.xml,1.1 - Michael(tm) -Smith

-
Added bunch of new parameters (attribute sets) -that affect list presentation: list.block.properties, -itemizedlist.properties, orderedlist.properties, -itemizedlist.label.properties and -orderedlist.label.properties.

-
Modified: fo/lists.xsl,1.61; fo/param.ent,1.87; -fo/param.xweb,1.98; params/itemizedlist.label.properties.xml,1.1; -params/itemizedlist.properties.xml,1.1; -params/list.block.properties.xml,1.1; -params/orderedlist.label.properties.xml,1.1; -params/orderedlist.properties.xml,1.1 - Jirka -Kosek

-
Modified: html/pi.xsl,1.9 - Robert -Stayton
-
-

-
Modified: html/chunk-code.xsl,1.15; -html/param.ent,1.93; html/param.xweb,1.102; -params/chunk.tocs.and.lots.has.title.xml,1.1 - Jirka -Kosek

-
If the value -of autotoc.label.in.hyperlink is non-zero, labels -are included in hyperlinked titles in the TOC. If it -is instead zero, labels are still displayed prior to the -hyperlinked titles, but are not hyperlinked along with the -titles.
-
Closes patch #1065868. Thanks to anatoly techtonik -for the patch.
-
Modified: html/autotoc.xsl,1.36; html/param.ent,1.92; -html/param.xweb,1.101; params/autotoc.label.in.hyperlink.xml,1.1 - -Michael(tm) Smith
-
-
Added two new params: -html.head.legalnotice.link.types -and html.head.legalnotice.link.multiple.
-
If -the value of the generate.legalnotice.link is -non-zero, then the stylesheet generates (in the head -section of the HTML source) either a single HTML -link element or, if the value of -the html.head.legalnotice.link.multiple is -non-zero, one link element for each link -type specified. Each link has the -following attributes:
-
- a rel attribute whose value -is derived from the value of -html.head.legalnotice.link.types
-
- -an href attribute whose value is set to the URL of the file -containing the legalnotice
-
- a title -attribute whose value is set to the title of the -corresponding legalnotice (or a title -programatically determined by the stylesheet)
-
For -example:
-
<link rel="copyright" -href="ln-id2524073.html" title="Legal Notice">
-
Closes -#1476450. Thanks to Sam Steingold.

-
Modified: fo/param.ent,1.93; fo/param.xweb,1.106; html/param.ent,1.90; -html/param.xweb,1.99; params/refclass.suppress.xml,1.1 - Michael(tm) -Smith
-

-
Modified: fo/task.xsl,1.3; html/task.xsl,1.3 - -Jirka Kosek
-
-
Added new -refclass.suppress param for suppressing display -of Refclass in HTML and FO output. Did not add it to -manpages because manpages stylesheet is currently just silently -ignoring Refclass anyway. Closes request -#1461065. Thanks to Davor Ocelic (docelic) for -reporting.

-
-
Add template for task -in mode="xref-to".
-
Modified: fo/xref.xsl,1.63; html/xref.xsl,1.57 - Robert -Stayton
-
-

Modified: html/html.xsl,1.17 - Norman -Walsh
-
-

-
Modified: html/formal.xsl,1.21 - Robert -Stayton
-
-
Handling of xref to -area/areaset need support in extensions code also. I currently have no -time to touch extensions code, so code is here to be enabled when -extension is fixed also.
-
Modified: html/xref.xsl,1.56 - Jirka -Kosek
-
-
Added 3 parameters for overriding -gentext for index -punctuation.
-
Modified: html/param.ent,1.89; html/param.xweb,1.98 - Robert -Stayton
-
-
Added parameters to support -localization of index item punctuation. Added -index.separator named template to compute -the separator punctuation based on -locale.
-
Modified: html/autoidx.xsl,1.27 - Robert -Stayton
-
-
Added a <div -class="{$class}-contents"> wrapper around output of contents -of all formal objects. Also, added an optional <br -class="{class}-break"/> linebreak after all formal -objects.
-
WARNING: Because this change places an additional -DIV between the DIV wrapper for the equation and the -equation contents, it may break some existing CSS -stylesheets that have been created with the assumption that there -would never be an intervening DIV there.
-
The following is -an example of what Equation output looks like as a -result of the changes described above.
-
<div -class="equation"> <a name="three" -id="three"></a>
-
<p -class="title"><b>(1.3)</b></p>
-
-<div class="equation-contents"> <span -class="mathphrase">1+1=3</span> -</div> </div><br -class="equation-break">
-
Rationale: These changes allow -CSS control of the placement of the formal-object -title relative to the formal-object -contents. For example, using the CSS "float" property -enables the title and contents to be rendered on the -same line. Example stylesheet:
-
.equation -{ margin-top: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; } -.equation-contents { float: left; }
-
-.equation .title { margin-top: 0; -float: right; margin-right: 200px; }
-
-.equation .title b { font-weight: -normal; }
-
.equation-break { clear: both; -}
-
Note that the purpose of the ".equation-break" class is -to provide a way to clear off the floats.
-
If you want -to instead have the equation title rendered to -the left of the equation contents, you can do -something like this:
-
.equation { -margin-top: 20px; width: 300px; margin-bottom: 20px; -} .equation-contents { float: right; }
-
-.equation .title { margin-top: 0; -float: left; margin-right: 200px; }
-
-.equation .title b { font-weight: -normal; }
-
.equation-break { clear: both; -}

-
-
If the -keep.relative.image.uris parameter is true, -don't use the absolute URI (as calculated from xml:base) in -the img src attribute, us the value the author -specified. Note that we still have to calculate the absolute -filename for use in the image intrinsics -extension.
-
Modified: html/graphics.xsl,1.56 - Norman -Walsh
-
-
Support date as an -inline
-
Modified: fo/inline.xsl,1.43; html/inline.xsl,1.46 - Norman -Walsh

-
Added two new parameters for -handling of multi-term -varlistentry elements:
-
variablelist.term.break.after: -When the variablelist.term.break.after is -non-zero, it will generate a line break after each -term multi-term -varlistentry.
-
variablelist.term.separator: -When a varlistentry contains multiple term -elements, the string specified in the value of the -variablelist.term.separator parameter is -placed after each term except the last. The default -is ", " (a comma followed by a space). To suppress rendering of -the separator, set the value of -variablelist.term.separator to the empty -string ("").
-
These parameters are primarily intended to be -useful if you have multi-term varlistentries that have long -terms.
-
Closes #1306676. Thanks to Sam Steingold for -providing an example "lots of long terms" doc that demonstrated -the value of having these options.

-
-
Added "wrapper-name" param to -inline.charseq named template, enabling it to output inlines -other than just "span". Acronym and Abbrev -templates now use inline.charseq to output HTML -"acronym" and "abbr" elements (instead of -"span"). Closes #1305468. Thanks to Sam Steingold for suggesting -the change.
-
Modified: html/inline.xsl,1.45 - Michael(tm) -Smith

Manpages

- -

The following changes have been made to the - manpages code - since the 1.69.1 release.

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

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

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

-
-
Changed names of all boolean -indentation params to man.indent.* Also discarded individual -man.indent.*.value params and switched to just using a common -man.indent.width param (3n by default).
-
Modified: manpages/docbook.xsl,1.66; -manpages/info.xsl,1.19; manpages/lists.xsl,1.29; -manpages/other.xsl,1.18; manpages/refentry.xsl,1.13 - Michael(tm) -Smith

-
Modified: manpages/docbook.xsl,1.65; -manpages/utility.xsl,1.14 - Michael(tm) Smith
-

Added options for controlling -indentation of verbatim output. Controlled through the -man.indentation.verbatims.adjust -and man.indentation.verbatims.value params. Closes -#1242997
-
Modified: manpages/block.xsl,1.15; manpages/docbook.xsl,1.64 - -Michael(tm) Smith
-
-
Added options for controlling -indentation in lists and in *blurb output in the AUTHORS -section. Controlled through -the man.indentation.lists.adjust, -man.indentation.lists.value, man.indentation.authors.adjust, and -man.indentation.authors.value parameters. Default is 3 characters -(instead of the roff default of 8 characters). Closes -#1449369.
-
Also, removed the indent that was being set on -informalexample outuput. I will instead add an option -for indenting verbatims, which I think is what the -informalexample indent was intended -for originally.

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

Refined XPath statements and -notification messages for refentry metadata -handling.
-

-
-
Added support for -copyright and legalnotice. The manpages -stylesheets now output a COPYRIGHT section, -after the AUTHORS section, if a copyright -or legalnotice is found in the source. The -section contains the copyright contents followed -by the legalnotice contents. Closes -#1450209.
-
Modified: manpages/docbook.xsl,1.59; manpages/info.xsl,1.17 - -Michael(tm) Smith
-
-
Drastically reworked all of the -XPath expressions used in refentry metadata gathering --- completely removed $parentinfo and turned $info into a set of -nodes that includes the *info contents of the Refentry -plus the *info contents all all of its ancestor elements. The -basic XPath expression now used throughout is (using the example -of checking for a date):
-
-(($info[//date])[last()]/date)[1].
-
That selects the "last" -*info/date date in document order -- that is, the one -eitther on the Refentry itself or on the -closest ancestor to the Refentry.
-
It's -likely this change may break some things; may need to pick up -some pieces later.
-
Also, changed the default value for the -man.th.extra2.max.length from 40 to -30.
-

-
Fixed handling of table -footnotes. With this checkin, the table support in the -manpages stylesheet is now basically feature complete. So this -change closes request #619532, "No support for tables" -- the -oldest currently open manpages feature request, submitted by Ben -Secrest (blsecres) on 2002-10-07. Congratulations to me [patting -myself on the back].
-
Modified: manpages/block.xsl,1.11; -manpages/docbook.xsl,1.55; manpages/table.xsl,1.15 - Michael(tm) -Smith
-
-
Added handling for -table titles. Also fixed handling of nested tables; -nest tables are now "extracted" and displayed just after their -parent tables.
-
Modified: manpages/docbook.xsl,1.54; manpages/table.xsl,1.14 -- Michael(tm) Smith
-
-
Added option for turning off bold -formatting in Funcsynopsis. Boldface formatting in -function synopsis is mandated in the -man(7) man page and is used almost universally in existing man -pages. Despite that, it really does look like crap to have an -entire Funcsynopsis output in bold, so I added params -for turning off the bold formatting and/or replacing it with a -different roff special font (e.g., "RI" for alternating -roman/italic instead of the default "BI" for alternating -bold/italic). The new params -are "man.funcprototype.font" and -"man.funcsynopsisinfo.font". To be documented -later.
-
Closes #1452247. Thanks to Joe Orton for the feature -request.

-
-
Use AUTHORS instead of -AUTHOR if we have multiple people to attribute. Also, -fixed checking such that we generate -author section even if we don't have an -author (as long as there is at least one other -person/entity we can put in the -section). Also adjusted assembly of content for -Author metainfo field such that we now not only use -author, but try to find a "best match" if we can't -find an author name to put there.
-
Closes -#1233592. Thanks to Sam Steingold for the -request.
-
Modified: manpages/info.xsl,1.12 - Michael(tm) -Smith

-
Changes for request #1243027, -"Impove handling of AUTHOR section." This -adds support for Collab, Corpauthor, Corpcredt, -Orgname, Publishername, and -Publisher. Also adds support for output -of Affiliation and its children, and support for using -gentext strings for auto-attributing roles (Author, -Editor, Publisher, Translator, etc.). Also -did a lot of code cleanup and modularization of all the -AUTHOR handling code. And fixed a bug that was causing -Author info to not be picked up correctly -for metainfo comment we embed in man-page -source.
-
Modified: manpages/info.xsl,1.11 - Michael(tm) -Smith
-
-
Support bold output for -"emphasis remap='B'". (because Eric Raymond's -doclifter(1) tool converts groff source marked up with ".B" -request or "\fB" escapes to DocBook "emphasis -remap='B'".)
-
Modified: manpages/inline.xsl,1.14 - Michael(tm) -Smith
-
-
Added support for -Segmentedlist. Details: Output is tabular, with no -option for "list" type output. Output for Segtitle -elements can be supressed by -setting man.segtitle.suppress. If Segtitle -content is output, it is rendered in italic type (not bold -because not all terminals support bold and so italic ensures the -stand out on those terminals). Extra space (.sp line) at end of -table code ensures that it gets handled correctly in -the case where its source is the child of a Para. -Closes feature-request #1400097. Thanks to Daniel Leidert for the -patch and push, and to Alastair Rankine for filing the original -feature request.
-
Modified: manpages/lists.xsl,1.23; -manpages/utility.xsl,1.10 - Michael(tm) Smith

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

Modified: params/biblioentry.properties.xml,1.1 - -Robert Stayton
-
-
Added new parameter -chunk.tocs.and.lots.has.title which -controls presence of title in a separate chunk with -ToC/LoT. Disabling title can be very useful if you are -generating frameset output (well, yes those frames, but some customers -really want them ;-).
-
Modified: html/chunk-code.xsl,1.15; -html/param.ent,1.93; html/param.xweb,1.102; -params/chunk.tocs.and.lots.has.title.xml,1.1 - Jirka -Kosek

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

Modified: html/autotoc.xsl,1.36; html/param.ent,1.92; -html/param.xweb,1.101; params/autotoc.label.in.hyperlink.xml,1.1 - -Michael(tm) Smith
-
-
Added two new params: -html.head.legalnotice.link.types -and html.head.legalnotice.link.multiple.
-
If -the value of the generate.legalnotice.link is -non-zero, then the stylesheet generates (in the head -section of the HTML source) either a single HTML -link element or, if the value of -the html.head.legalnotice.link.multiple is -non-zero, one link element for each link -type specified. Each link has the -following attributes:
-
- a rel attribute whose value -is derived from the value of -html.head.legalnotice.link.types
-
- -an href attribute whose value is set to the URL of the file -containing the legalnotice
-
- a title -attribute whose value is set to the title of the -corresponding legalnotice (or a title -programatically determined by the stylesheet)
-
For -example:
-
<link rel="copyright" -href="ln-id2524073.html" title="Legal Notice">
-
Closes -#1476450. Thanks to Sam Steingold.
-
Modified: html/chunk-common.xsl,1.45; -html/param.ent,1.91; html/param.xweb,1.100; -params/generate.legalnotice.link.xml,1.4; -params/html.head.legalnotice.link.multiple.xml,1.1; -params/html.head.legalnotice.link.types.xml,1.1 - Michael(tm) -Smith
-
-
Added the following -params:
-
- man.indent.width (string-valued) - -man.indent.refsect (boolean) - man.indent.blurbs (boolean) -- man.indent.lists (boolean) - man.indent.verbatims -(boolean)
-
Note that in earlier snapshots, man.indent.width -was named man.indentation.default.value and the boolean params -had names like man.indentation.*.adjust. Also the -man.indent.blurbs param was called man.indentation.authors.adjust -(or something).
-
The behavior now is: If the value of a -particular man.indent.* boolean param is non-zero, the -corresponding contents (refsect*, list items, -authorblurb/personblurb, vervatims) are displayed with a left -margin indented by a width equal to the value -of man.indent.width.

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

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

Added two new parameters for -handling of multi-term -varlistentry elements:
-
variablelist.term.break.after: -When the variablelist.term.break.after is -non-zero, it will generate a line break after each -term multi-term -varlistentry.
-
variablelist.term.separator: -When a varlistentry contains multiple term -elements, the string specified in the value of the -variablelist.term.separator parameter is -placed after each term except the last. The default -is ", " (a comma followed by a space). To suppress rendering of -the separator, set the value of -variablelist.term.separator to the empty -string ("").
-
These parameters are primarily intended to be -useful if you have multi-term varlistentries that have long -terms.
-

Profiling

- -

The following changes have been made to the - profiling code - since the 1.69.1 release.

-
Profiling now works together with -namespace stripping (V5 documents). Namespace striping should work -with all stylesheets named profile-, even if they are not supporting -namespace stripping in a non-profiling -variant.
-
Modified: profiling/profile-mode.xsl,1.4; -profiling/xsl2profile.xsl,1.7 - Jirka Kosek
-
-
Moved profiling stage out of -templates. This make possible to reuse profiled content by several -templates and still maintaing node indentity (needed for example for -HTML Help where content is processed multiple times).
-
I -don't know why this was not on the top level before. Maybe some XSLT -processors choked on it. I hope this will be OK -now.

Release 1.69.1

- -

This release is a minor bug-fix update to the 1.69.0 - release. Along with bug fixes, it includes one - configuration-parameter change: The default value of the - annotation.support parameter is now - 0 (off). The reason for that change is that - there have been reports that annotation handling is - causing a significant performance degradation in processing of - large documents with xsltproc.

- - -

Release 1.69.0

- -

The release includes major feature changes, - particularly in the manpages - stylesheets, as well as a large number of bug fixes.

- -

As with all DocBook Project “dot zero” releases, this is an - experimental release .

- -

Common

- -

-
This release adds localizations for the following - languages: - Albanian, Amharic, Azerbaijani, Hindi, Irish (Gaelic), Gujarati, Kannada, Mongolian, Oriya, Punjabi, Tagalog, Tamil, and Welsh.
-
-
Added support for specifying number format for auto - labels for chapter, appendix, - part, and preface. Contolled with the - appendix.autolabel, - chapter.autolabel, - part.autolabel, and - preface.autolabel parameters.
-
-
Added basic support for biblioref cross - referencing.
-
-
Added support for align - on caption in mediaobject.
-
-
Added support for processing documents that use the - DocBook V5 namespace.
-
-
Added support for termdef and - mathphrase.
-
-
EXPERIMENTAL: Incorporated the Slides and Website - stylesheets into the DocBook XSL stylesheets package. So, - for example, Website documents can now be processed using - the following URI for the driver Website - tabular.xsl file:
```
http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/website/tabular.xsl
```
-
-
A procedure without a title is - now treated as an “informal” procedure (meaning - that it is not added to any generated “list of - procedures” and has no affect on numbering of - generated labels for other procedures).
-
-
docname is no longer added to - olink when pointing to a root element.
-
-
Added support for generation of choice separator in - inline simplelist. This enables auto-generation of an - appropriate localized “choice separator” (for - example, “and” or “or”) before the - final item in an inline simplelist.
-
To indicate that you want a choice separator - generated for a particular list, you need to put a processing - instruction (PI) of the form - <?dbchoice choice="foo"?> as a - child of the list. For example: -
```
  <para>Choose from
-  ONE and ONLY ONE of the following: 
-  <simplelist type="inline">
-  <?dbchoice choice="or" ?>
-  <member>A</member>
-  <member>B</member>
-  <member>C</member>.</simplelist></para>
```
- - Output (for English): -
-
Choose from ONE and only ONE of the - following choices: A, B, or C.
-
- As a temporary workaround for the fact that most of the - DocBook non-English locale files don't have a localization for - the word “or”, you can put in a literal string to - be used; example for French: <?dbchoice choice="ou">. That is, use - “ou” instead of “or”.
-

FO

- -

-
Added content-type property to - external-graphic element, based on - imagedata format - attribute.
-
-
Added support for generating - <rx:meta-field creator="$VERSION"/> - field for XEP output. This makes the DocBook XSL - stylesheet version information available through the - Document Properties menu in Acrobat - Reader and other PDF viewers.
-
-
Trademark symbol handling made consistent with - handling of same in HTML stylesheets. Prior to this change, - if you processed a document that contained no value for the - class attribute on the - trademark element, the HTML stylesheets would - default to rendering a superscript TM -symbol after the trademark contents, - but the FO stylesheets would render nothing.
-
-
Added support for generating XEP bookmarks for - refentry.
-
-
Added support for HTML markup table border attribute, applied to each - table cell.
-
-
The table.width template can now - sum column specs if none use % or - *.
-
-
Added fox:destination extension - inside fox:outline to support linking to - internal destinations.
-
-
Added support for customizing - abstract with property sets. Controlled - with the abstract.properties and - abstract.title.properties - parameters.
-
-
Add footnotes in table title to - table footnote set, and add support for table footnotes to - HTML table markup.
-
-
Added support for title in - glosslist.
-
-
Added support for itemizedlist symbol - none.
-
-
Implemented the new - graphical.admonition.properties and - nongraphical.admonition.properties - attribute sets.
-
-
Added id to - formalpara and some other blocks that were - missing it.
-
-
Changed the anchor template to output - fo:inline instead of - fo:wrapper.
-
-
Added support for toc.max.depth - parameter.
-

- -

Help

- -

-
Eclipse Help: Added support for generating olink - database.
-

- -

HTML

- -

-
Added a first cut at support in HTML output for - DocBook 5 style annotations. Controlled using the - annotation.support parameter, and - implemented using JavaScript and CSS styling. For more - details, see the documentation for the - annotation.js, - annotation.css, - annotation.graphic.open, and - annotation.graphic.close - parameters.
-
-
Generate client-side image map for - imageobjectco with areas using - calspair units
-
-
Added support for <?img.src.path?> PI.
-
-
Added support for passing - img.src.path to DocBook Java XSLT - image extensions when appropriate. Controlled using the - graphicsize.use.img.src.path - parameter.
-
-
Added support for (not - valid for DocBook 4) xlink:href - on area and (not valid for DocBook 4) - alt in area.
-
-
Added new parameter - default.table.frame to control table - framing if there is no frame - attribute on a table.
-
-
Added initial, experimental support for generating - content for the HTML title attribute from - content of the alt element. This change adds - support for the following inline elements only (none of them - are block elements): - abbrev, accel, acronym, action, application, authorinitials, beginpage, citation, citerefentry, citetitle, city, classname, code, command, computeroutput, constant, country, database, email, envar, errorcode, errorname, errortext, errortype, exceptionname, fax, filename, firstname, firstterm, foreignphrase, function, glossterm, guibutton, guiicon, guilabel, guimenu, guimenuitem, guisubmenu, hardware, honorific, interface, interfacename, keycap, keycode, keysym, lineage, lineannotation, literal, markup, medialabel, methodname, mousebutton, option, optional, otheraddr, othername, package, parameter, personname, phone, pob, postcode, productname, productnumber, prompt, property, quote, refentrytitle, remark, replaceable, returnvalue, tag, shortcut, state, street, structfield, structname, subscript, superscript, surname, symbol, systemitem, tag, termdef, token, trademark, type, uri, userinput, varname, and wordasword -
-
-
Added support for chunking revhistory into - separate file (similar to the support for doing same with - legalnotice). Patch from Thomas - Schraitle. Controlled through new - generate.revhistory.link parameter.
-
-
l10n.xsl: Made language codes RFC compliant. Added a - new boolean config parameter, - l10n.lang.value.rfc.compliant. If it - is non-zero (the default), any underscore in a language code - will be converted to a hyphen in HTML output. If it is zero, - the language code will be left as-is.
-

man

- -

This release closes out 44 manpages stylesheet bug reports - and feature requests. It adds more than 35 new configuration - parameters for controlling aspects of man-page output -- - including hyphenation and justification, handling of links, - conversion of Unicode characters, and contents of man-page - headers and footers.

-
New options for globally disabling/enabling - hyphenation and justification: - man.justify and - man.hyphenate.
-
Note that the default - for the both of those is zero (off), because justified text - looks good only when it is also hyphenated; to quote the - “Hyphenation” node from the groff info page: -
-
Since the odds are not great for finding a - set of words, for every output line, which fit nicely on a - line without inserting excessive amounts of space between - words, `gtroff' hyphenates words so that it can justify - lines without inserting too much space between - words.
-
- The problem is that groff can end up hyphenating a lot of - things that you don't want hyphenated (variable names and - command names, for example). Keeping both justification and - hyphenation disabled ensures that hyphens won't get inserted - where you don't want to them, and you don't end up with - lines containing excessive amounts of space between - words. These default settings run counter to how most - existing man pages are formatted. But there are some notable - exceptions, such as the perl man pages.
-
-
Added parameters for controlling hyphenation of - computer inlines, filenames, and URLs. By default, even when - hyphenation is enabled (globally), hyphenation is now - suppressed for "computer inlines" (currently, just - classname, constant, envar, - errorcode, option, - replaceable, userinput, - type, and varname, and for - filenames, and for URLs from link. It - can be (re)enabled using the - man.hyphenate.computer.inlines, - man.hyphenate.filenames, and - man.hyphenate.urls parameters.
-
-
Implemented a new system for replacing Unicode - characters. There are two parts to the new system: a - “string substitution map” for doing - “essential” replacements, and a - “character map” that can optionally be disabled - and enabled.
-
The new system fixes all open bugs that had to do with - literal Unicode numbered entities such as “ and - ” showing up in output, and greatly expands the - ability of the stylesheets to generate “good” roff - equivalents for Unicode symbols and special - characters.
-
Here are some details...
-
The previous manpages mechanism for replacing Unicode - symbols and special characters with roff equivalents (the - replace-entities template) was not - scalable and not complete. The mechanism handled a somewhat - arbitrary selection of less than 20 or so Unicode - characters. But there are potentially more than - 800 Unicode special characters that - have some groff equivalent they can be mapped to. And there - are about 34 symbols in the Latin-1 (ISO-8859-1) block - alone. Users might reasonably expect that if they include - any of those Latin-1 characters in their DocBook source - documents, they will get correctly converted to known roff - equivalents in output.
-
In addition to those common symbols, certain users may - have a need to use symbols from other Unicode blocks. Say, - somebody who is documenting an application related to math - might need to use a bunch of symbols from the - “Mathematical Operators” Unicode block (there - are about 65 characters in that block that have reasonable - roff equivalents). Or somebody else might really like - Dingbats -- such as the checkmark character -- and so might - use a bunch of things from the “Dingbat” block - (141 characters in that that have roff equivalents or that - can at least be “degraded” somewhat gracefully - into roff).
-
So, the old replace-entities - mechanism was replaced with a completely different mechanism - that is based on use of two “maps”: a - “substitution map” and a “character - map” (the latter in a format compliant with the XSLT - 2.0 spec and therefore completely “forward - compatible” with XSLT 2.0).
-
The substitution map is controlled through the - man.string.subst.map parameter, and - is used to replace things like the backslash character - (which needs special handling to prevent it from being - interpreted as a roff escape). The substitution map cannot - be disabled, because disabling it will cause the output to - be broken. However, you can add to it and change it if - needed.
- -
The “character map” mechanism, on the - other hand, can be completely disabled. It is enabled by - default, and, by default, does replacement of all Latin-1 - symbols, along with most special spaces, dashes, and quotes - (about 75 characters by default). Also, you can optionally - enable a “full” character map that provides - support for converting all 800 or so of the characters that - have some reasonable groff equivalent.
- -
The character-map mechanism is controlled through the - following parameters: -
man.charmap.enabled
turns character-map support - on/off
man.charmap.use.subset
specifies that a subset of the character - map is used instead of the full map
man.charmap.subset.profile
specifies profile of character-map - subset
man.charmap.uri
specifies an alternate character map to - use instead of the “standard” character map - provided in the distribution
-
-
-
Implemented out-of-line handling of display of URLs - for links (currently, only for ulink). This gives - you three choices for handling of links: -
1. -
  Number and list links. Each link is numbered - inline, with a number in square brackets preceding the - link contents, and a numbered list of all links is added - to the end of the document.
  -
2. -
  Only list links. Links are not numbered, but an - (unnumbered) list of links is added to the end of the - document.
  -
3. -
  Suppress links. Don't number links and don't add - any list of links to the end of the document.
  -
- You can also choose whether links should be underlined. The - default is “the works” -- list, number, and - underline links. You can use the - man.links.list.enabled, - man.links.are.numbered, and - man.links.are.underlined parameters - to change the defaults. The default heading for the link - list is REFERENCES. You can be change that using the - man.links.list.heading - parameter.
-
-
Changed default output encoding to UTF-8. This does not mean that man pages are output in - raw UTF-8, because the character map is applied - before final output, causing all UTF-8 characters covered in - the map to be converted to roff equivalents.
-
-
Added support for processing refsect3 and - formalpara and nested refsection - elements, down to any arbitrary level of nesting.
-
-
Output of the NAME and - SYNOPSIS and AUTHOR - headings and the headings for admonitions (note, - caution, etc.) are no longer hard-coded for - English. Instead, headings are generated for those in the - correct locale (just as the FO and HTML stylesheets - do).
-

Re-worked mechanism for assembling page - headers/footers (the contents of the .TH - macro “title line”).

- -

Here are some details...

- -

All man pages contain a .TH roff - macro whose contents are used for rendering the “title - line” displayed in the header and footer of each - page. Here are a couple of examples of real-world man pages - that have useful page headers/footers:

-  gtk-options(7)    GTK+ User's Manual   gtk-options(7) <-- header
-  GTK+ 1.2              2003-10-20       gtk-options(7) <-- footer
-
-  svgalib(7)       Svgalib User Manual       svgalib(7) <-- header
-  Svgalib 1.4.1      16 December 1999        svgalib(7) <-- footer

- -

And here are the terms with which the - groff_man(7) man page refers to the - various parts of the header/footer:

-  title(section)  extra3  title(section)  <- header
-  extra2          extra1  title(section)  <- footer

Or, using the names with which the man(7) - man page refers to those same fields:

-  title(section)  manual  title(section)  <- page header
-  source          date    title(section)  <- page footer

- -

The easiest way to control the contents of those - fields is to mark up your refentry content like - the following (note that this is a “minimal” - example).

-  <refentry>
-    <info>
-      <date>2003-10-20</date> 
-    </info>
-    <refmeta>
-      <refentrytitle>gtk-options</refentrytitle> 
-      <manvolnum>7</manvolnum> 
-      <refmiscinfo class="source-name">GTK+</refmiscinfo> 
-      <refmiscinfo class="version">1.2</refmiscinfo> 
-      <refmiscinfo class="manual">GTK+ User's Manual</refmiscinfo> 
-    </refmeta>
-    <refnamediv>
-      <refname>gtk-options</refname>
-      <refpurpose>Standard Command Line Options for GTK+ Programs</refpurpose>
-    </refnamediv>
-    <refsect1>
-      <title>Description</title>
-      <para>This manual page describes the command line options, which
-      are common to all GTK+ based applications.</para>
-    </refsect1>
-  </refentry>

	- Sets the “date” part of the header/footer. -
	- Sets the “title” part. -
	- Sets the “section” part. -
	- Sets the “source name” part. -
	- Sets the “version” part. -
	- Sets the “manual” part. -

Below are explanations of the steps the stylesheets - take to attempt to assemble and display - “good” headers and footer. [In the - descriptions, note that *info - is the refentry “info” child - (whatever its name), and - parentinfo is the - “info” child of its parent (again, whatever - its name).] -

extra1 field (date)

Content of the “extra1” field is - what shows up in the center - footer position of each page. The - man(7) man page describes it as - “the date of the last revision”.

To provide this content, if the - refentry.date.profile.enabled - is non-zero, the stylesheets check the value of - refentry.date.profile.

Otherwise, by default, they check for a - date or pubdate not only in the - *info contents, but also in - the parentinfo - contents.

If a date cannot be found, the stylesheets now - automatically generate a localized “long - format” date, ensuring that this field always - has content in output.

However, if for some reason you want to suppress - this field, you can do so by setting a non-zero value - for man.th.extra1.suppress.

extra2 field (source)

On Linux systems and on systems with a modern - groff, the content of the “extra2” field - are what shows up in the left - footer position of each page.

- -

The man(7) man page describes - this as “the source of the command”, and - provides the following examples: -

-
For binaries, use somwething like: GNU, - NET-2, SLS Distribution, MCC Distribution.
-
-
For system calls, use the version of the - kernel that you are currently looking at: Linux - 0.99.11.
-
-
For library calls, use the source of the - function: GNU, BSD 4.3, Linux DLL 4.4.1.
-

- -

In practice, there are many pages that simply - have a version number in the “source” - field. So, it looks like what we have is a two-part - field, - Name Version, - where: -

Name: -
product name (e.g., BSD) or org. name - (e.g., GNU)
-
Version: -
version name
-

- Each part is optional. If the - Name is a product name, - then the Version is - probably the version of the product. Or there may be - no Name, in which case, if - there is a Version, it is - probably the version of the item itself, not the - product it is part of. Or, if the - Name is an organization - name, then there probably will be no - Version. -

To provide this content, if the - refentry.source.name.profile.enabled - and - refentry.version.profile.enabled - parameter are non-zero, the stylesheets check the - value of refentry.source.name.profile - refentry.version.profile.

- -

Otherwise, by default, they check the following - places, in the following order: -

-
```
*info/productnumber
```
-
-
```
*info/productnumber
```
-
-
```
refmeta/refmiscinfo[@class = 'version']
```
-
-
```
parentinfo/productnumber
```
-
-
```
*info/productname
```
-
-
```
parentinfo/productname
```
-
-
```
refmeta/refmiscinfo
```
-
-
[nothing found, so leave it empty]
-

extra3 field

On Linux systems and on systems with a modern - groff, the content of the “extra3” field - are what shows up in the center - header position of each page. Some man - pages have “extra2” content, some - don't. If a particular man page has it, it is most - often “context” data about some larger - system the documented item belongs to (for example, - the name or description of a group of related - applications). The stylesheets now check the following - places, in the following order, to look for content to - add to the “extra3” field.

-
```
parentinfo/title
```
-
-
```
parent's title
```
-
-
```
refmeta/refmiscinfo
```
-
-
[nothing found, so leave it empty]
-

-
Reworked *info gathering. For - each refentry found, the stylesheets now cache its - *info content, then check for any - valid parent of it that might have metainfo content and cache - that, if found; they then then do all further matches against - those node-sets (rather than re-selecting the original - *info nodes each time they are - needed).
-
-
New option for breaking strings after forward - slashes. This enables long URLs and pathnames to be broken - across lines. Controlled through - man.break.after.slash parameter.
-
-
Output for servicemark and trademark are now - (SM) and (TM). There is - a groff "\(tm" escape, but output from that - is not acceptable.
-
-
New option for controlling the length of the title - part of the .TH title line. Controlled - through the man.th.title.max.length - parameter.
-
-
New option for specifying output encoding of each man - page; controlled with - man.output.encoding (similar to the - HTML chunker.output.encoding - parameter).
-
-
New option for suppressing filename messages when - generating output; controlled with - man.output.quietly (similar to the HTML - chunk.quietly parameter).
-
-
The text of cross-references to first-level - refentry (refsect1, top-level - refsection, refnamediv, and - refsynopsisdiv) are now capitalized.
-
-
Cross-references to refnamediv now use the - localized NAME title instead of using the - first refname child. This makes the output - inconsistent with HTML and FO output, but for man-page output, - it seems to make better sense to have the - NAME. (It may actually make better sense to - do it that way in HTML and FO output as well...)
-
-
Added support for processing funcparams.
-
-
Removed the space that was being output between - funcdef and paramdef; example: was: - float rand (void); now: - float rand(void)
-
-
Turned off bold formatting for the type - element when it occurs within a funcdef or - paramdef
-
-
Corrected rendering of simplelist. Any - <simplelist type="inline" instance - is now rendered as a comma-separated list (also with an - optional localized “and” or “or” before the last item -- see - description elsewhere in these release notes). Any simplelist - instance whose type is not - inline is rendered as a one-column vertical - list (ignoring the values of the type and columns attributes if present)
-
-
Comment added at top of roff source for each page now - includes DocBook XSL stylesheets version number (as in the - HTML stylesheets)
-
-
Made change to prevent “sticky” fonts - changes. Now, when the manpages stylesheets encounter node - sets that need to be boldfaced or italicized, they put the - \fBfoo\fR and \fIbar\fR - groff bold/italic instructions separately around each node in - the set.
-
-
synop.xsl: Boldface everything in - funcsynopsis output except parameters (which are in - ital). The man(7) man page says: -
-
For functions, the arguments are always specified - using italics, even in the SYNOPSIS section, where the rest - of the function is specified in bold.
-
- A look through the contents of the - man/man2 directory shows that most - (all) existing pages do follow this “everything in - funcsynopsis bold” rule. That means the - type content and any punctuation (parens, - semicolons, varargs) also must be bolded.
-
-
Removed code for adding backslashes before periods/dots - in roff source, because backslashes in front of periods/dots - in roff source are needed only in the very rare case where a - period is the very first character in a line, without any - space in front of it. A better way to deal with that rare case - is for you to add a zero-width space in front of the offending - dot(s) in your source
-
-
Removed special handling of the quote - element. That was hard-coded to cause anything marked up with - the quote element to be output preceded by two - backticks and followed by two apostrophes -- that is, that - old-school kludge for generating “curly” quotes in Emacs and - in X-Windows fonts. While Emacs still seems to support that, I - don't think X-Windows has for a long time now. And, anyway, it - looks (and has always looked) like crap when viewed on a - normal tty/console. In addition, it breaks localiztion of - quote. By default, quote content is - output with localized quotation marks, which, depending on the - locale, may or may not be left and right double quotation - marks.
-
-
Changed mappings for left and right single quotation - marks. Those had previously been incorrectly mapped to the - backtick (`) and apostrophe (&39;) characters (for - kludgy reasons -- see above). They are now correctly mapped to - the \(oq and \(cq roff - escapes. If you want the old (broken) behavior, you need to - manually change the mappings for those in the value of the - man.string.subst.map parameter.
-
-
Removed xref.xsl file. Now, of the - various cross-reference elements, only the ulink - element is handled differently; the rest are handled exactly - as the HTML stylesheets handle them, except that no hypertext - links are generated. (Because there is no equivalent hypertext - mechanism is man pages.)
-
-
New option for making “subheading dividers” in generated - roff source. The dividers are not visible in the rendered man - page; they are just there to make the source - readable. Controlled using - man.subheading.divider.
-
-
Fixed many places where too much space was being added - between lines.
-

Release 1.68.1

- -

The release adds localization support for Farsi (thanks to - Sina Heshmati) and improved support for the XLink-based DocBook NG - db:link element. Other than that, it is a minor - bug-fix update to the 1.68.0 release. The main thing it fixes is a - build error that caused the XSLT Java extensions to be jarred up - with the wrong package structure. Thanks to Jens Stavnstrup for - quickly reporting the problem, and to Mauritz Jeanson for - investigating and finding the cause.

Release 1.67.2

- -

This release fixes a table bug introduced in the 1.67.1 - release.

Release 1.67.1

- -

This release includes a number of bug fixes.

The following lists provide details about API and feature changes. -

-
Tables: Inherited cell properties are now passed to the - table.cell.properties template so they can - be overridden by a customization.
-
-
Tables: Added support for bgcolor PI on table row - element.
-
-
TOCs: Added new parameter - simplesect.in.toc; default value of - 0 causes simplesect to be omitted from TOCs; to - cause simplesect to be included in TOCs, you - must set the value of simplesect.in.toc to - 1.Comment from Norm: - -
-
Simplesect elements aren't supposed to - appear in the ToC at all... The use case for simplesect - is when, for example, every chapter in a book ends with - "Exercises" or "For More Information" sections and you - don't want those to appear in the ToC.
-
-
-
-
Sections: Reverted change that caused a variable reference - to be used in a template match and rewrote code to preserve - intended semantics.
-
-
Lists: Added workaround to prevent "* 0.60 + 1em" garbage in - list output from PassiveTeX
-
-
Moved the literal attributes from - component.title to the - component.title.properties attribute-set so - they can be customized.
-
-
Lists: Added glossdef's first - para to special handling in - fo:list-item-body.
-

- -

HTML

-
TOCs: Added new parameter - simplesect.in.toc; for details, see - the list of FO changes for this - release.
-
-
Indexing: Added new parameter - index.prefer.titleabbrev; when set to - 1, index references will use - titleabbrev instead of - title when available.
-

HTML Help

-
Added support for generating windows-1252-encoded - output using Saxon; for more details, see the list of XSL Java extensions changes for this release.
-

man pages

-
Replaced named/numeric character-entity references for - non-breaking space with groff equivalent (backslash-tilde).
-

XSL Java extensions

Saxon extensions: Added the - Windows1252 class. It extends Saxon - 6.5.x with the windows-1252 character set, which is - particularly useful when generating HTML Help for Western - European Languages (code from - Pontus Haglund and contributed to the - DocBook community by Sectra AB, Sweden).

To use: -

-
Make sure that the Saxon 6.5.x jar file and the jar file for - the DocBook XSL Java extensions are in your CLASSPATH
-

Create a DocBook XSL customization layer -- a file named - mystylesheet.xsl or whatever -- that, at a - minimum, contains the following: -

  <xsl:stylesheet
-    xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
-    version='1.0'>
-    <xsl:import href="http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/htmlhelp/htmlhelp.xsl"/>
-    <xsl:output method="html" encoding="WINDOWS-1252" indent="no"/>
-    <xsl:param name="htmlhelp.encoding" select="'WINDOWS-1252'"></xsl:param>
-    <xsl:param name="chunker.output.encoding" select="'WINDOWS-1252'"></xsl:param>
-    <xsl:param name="saxon.character.representation" select="'native'"></xsl:param>
-  </xsl:stylesheet>

Invoke Saxon with the - encoding.windows-1252 Java system property set - to com.nwalsh.saxon.Windows1252; for example -

  java \
-    -Dencoding.windows-1252=com.nwalsh.saxon.Windows1252 \
-  com.icl.saxon.StyleSheet \
-  mydoc.xml mystylesheet.xsl

- - Or, for a more complete "real world" case showing other - options you'll typically want to use: -

  java \
-    -Dencoding.windows-1252=com.nwalsh.saxon.Windows1252 \
-    -Djavax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory=org.apache.xerces.jaxp.DocumentBuilderFactoryImpl \
-    -Djavax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory=org.apache.xerces.jaxp.SAXParserFactoryImpl \
-    -Djavax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory=com.icl.saxon.TransformerFactoryImpl \
-  com.icl.saxon.StyleSheet \
-    -x org.apache.xml.resolver.tools.ResolvingXMLReader \
-    -y org.apache.xml.resolver.tools.ResolvingXMLReader \
-    -r org.apache.xml.resolver.tools.CatalogResolver \
-  mydoc.xml mystylesheet.xsl

- - In both cases, the "mystylesheet.xsl" file should be a - DocBook customization layer containing the parameters - show in step 2.

-
Saxon extensions: Removed Saxon 8 extensions from release package
-

Release 1.67.0

- -

-
A number of important bug fixes.
-
-
Added Saxon8 extensions
-
-

-
-
Added support for role=strong on - emphasis in FO output
-
-
Added new FO parameter - hyphenate.verbatim that can be used to turn - on "intelligent" wrapping of verbatim environments.
-
-
Replaced all <tt></tt> output with - <code></code>
-
-
Changed admon.graphic.width template to a - mode so that different admonitions can have different graphical - widths.
-
-
Deprecated the HTML shade.verbatim - parameter (use CSS instead)
-
-
Wrapped ToC - refentrytitle/refname and - refpurpose in span with class values. This - makes it possible to style them using a CSS stylesheet.
-
-
Use strong/em instead of - b/i in HTML output
-
-
Added support for converting Emphasis to - groff italic and Emphasis role='bold' to - bold. Controlled by - emphasis.propagates.style param, but not - documented yet using litprog system. Will do that next (planning - to add some other parameter-controllable options for hyphenation - and handling of line spacing).
-
-
callout.graphics.number.limit.xml - param: Changed the default from 10 to - 15.
-
-
verbatim.properties: Added - hyphenate=false

Release 1.66.1

- -

-
A number of important bug fixes. -
-
-
-Now xml:base attributes that are generated by an -XInclude processor are resolved for image files. -
-
-
-Rewrote olink templates to support several new features. -
-
- -
  -Extended full olink support to FO output. -
  -
- -
  -Add support for xrefstyle attribute in olinks. -
  -
- -
  -New parameters to support new olink features: -insert.olink.page.number, insert.olink.pdf.frag, -olink.debug, olink.lang.fallback.sequence, olink.properties, -prefer.internal.olink. -See the reference page for each parameter for more -information.
  -
-
-
-Added index.on.type parameter for new type -attribute introduced in DocBook 4.3 for indexterms and index. -This allows you to create multiple indices containing -different categories of entries. -For users of 4.2 and earlier, you can use the new parameter index.on.role -instead. -
-
-
-Added new -section.autolabel.max.depth parameter to turn off section numbering -below a certain depth. -This permits you to number major section levels and leave minor -section levels unnumbered.
-
-
-Added footnote.sep.leader.properties attribute set to format -the line separating footnotes in printed output. -
-
-
-Added parameter img.src.path as a prefix to HTML img src -attributes. -The prefix is added to whatever path is already generated by the -stylesheet for each image file.
-
-
-Added new attribute-sets -informalequation.properties, -informalexample.properties, -informalfigure.properties, and informaltable.properties, -so each such element type can be formatted -individually if needed. -
-
-
-Add component.label.includes.part.label -parameter to add any part number to chapter, appendix -and other component labels when -the label.from.part parameter is nonzero. -This permits you to distinguish multiple chapters with the same -chapter number in cross references and the TOC.
-
-
-Added chunk.separate.lots parameter for HTML output. -This parameter lets you generate separate chunk files for each LOT -(list of tables, list of figures, etc.).
-
-
Added several table features:
-
- -
  -Added table.table.properties attribute set to add -properties to the fo:table element. -
  -
- -
  -Added placeholder templates named table.cell.properties -and table.cell.block.properties to enable adding properties -to any fo:table-cell or the cell's fo:block, respectively. - These templates are a start for implementing table styles.
  -
-
-
-Added new attribute -set component.title.properties for easy modifications of -component's title formatting in FO output. -
-
-
-Added Saxon support for an encoding attribute on the textdata element. Added new parameter -textdata.default.encoding which specifies encoding when -encoding attribute on -textdata is missing. -
-
-
-Template label.this.section now controls whole -section label, not only sub-label which corresponds to -particular label. Former behaviour was IMHO bug as it was -not usable. -
-
-
-Formatting in titleabbrev for TOC and headers -is preserved when there are no hotlink elements in the title. Formerly the title showed only the text of the title, no font changes or other markup. -
-
-
-Added intial.page.number template to set the initial-page-number -property for page sequences in print output. -Customizing this template lets you change when page numbering restarts. This is similar to the format.page.number template that lets you change how the page number formatting changes in the output. -
-
-
-Added force.page.count template to set the force-page-count -property for page sequences in print output. -This is similar to the format.page.number template. -
-
-
-Sort language for localized index sorting in autoidx-ng.xsl is now taken from document -lang, not from system environment. -
-
-
-Numbering and formatting of normal -and ulink footnotes (if turned on) has been unified. -Now ulink footnotes are mixed in with any other footnotes.
-
-
-Added support for renderas attribute in section and -sect1 et al. -This permits you to render a given section title as if it were a different level.
-
-
-Added support for label attribute in footnote to manually -supply the footnote mark. -
-
-
-Added support for DocBook 4.3 corpcredit element. -
-
-
-Added support for a dbfo keep-together PI for -formal objects (table, figure, example, equation, programlisting). That permits a formal object to be kept together if it is not already, or to be broken if it -is very long and the -default keep-together is not appropriate. -
-
-
-For graphics files, made file extension matching case -insensitive, and updated the list of graphics extensions. -
-
-
-Allow calloutlist to have block content before -the first callout -
-
-
-Added dbfo-need processing instruction to provide -soft page breaks. -
-
-
-Added implementation of existing but unused -default.image.width parameter for graphics. -
-
-
-Support DocBook NG tag inline element. -
-
-
-It appears that XEP now supports Unicode characters in -bookmarks. There is no further need to strip accents from -characters. -
-
-
-Make segmentedlist HTML markup -more semantic and available to CSS styles. -
-
-
-Added user.preroot placeholder template to -permit xsl-stylesheet and other PIs and comments to be -output before the HTML root element. -
-
-
-Non-chunked legalnotice now gets an <a -name="id"> element in HTML output -so it can be referenced with xref or link. -
-
-
-In chunked HTML output, changed link rel="home" to rel="start", -and link rel="previous" to rel="prev", per W3C HTML 4.01 -spec. -
-
-
-Added several patches to htmlhelp from W. Borgert -
-
-
-Added Bosnian locale file as common/bs.xml. -
-

Release 1.65.0

- -

-
A number of important bug fixes. -
-
-
Added a workaround to allow these stylesheets to process DocBook NG -documents. (It’s a hack that pre-processes the document to strip off the -namespace and then uses exsl:node-set to process -the result.) -
-
-
Added alternative indexing mechanism which has better -internationalization support. New indexing method allows grouping of -accented letters like e, é, ë into the same group under letter "e". It -can also treat special letters (e.g. "ch") as one character and place -them in the correct position (e.g. between "h" and "i" in Czech -language).
-
In order to use this mechanism you must create customization -layer which imports some base stylesheet (like -fo/docbook.xsl, -html/chunk.xsl) and then includes appropriate -stylesheet with new indexing code -(fo/autoidx-ng.xsl or -html/autoidx-ng.xsl). For example:
-
```
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
-                version="1.0">
-
-<xsl:import href="http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/fo/docbook.xsl"/>
-<xsl:include href="http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/fo/autoidx-ng.xsl"/>
-
-</xsl:stylesheet>
```
-
New method is known to work with Saxon and it should also work -with xsltproc 1.1.1 and later. Currently supported languages are -English, Czech, German, French, Spanish and Danish.
-

Release 1.64.1

- -

General bug fixes and improvements. Sorry about the failure to produce -an updated release notes file for 1.62.0—1.63.2

-
In the course of fixing bug #849787, wrapping Unicode callouts -with an appropriate font change in the Xalan extensions, I discovered -that the Xalan APIs have changed a bit. So xalan2.jar -will work with older Xalan 2 implementations, xalan25.jar -works with Xalan 2.5.
-

Release 1.61.0

- -

Lots of bug fixes and improvements.

-
Initial support for timestamp PI. From now you - can use <?dbtimestamp format="Y-m-d H:M:S"?> to get current - datetime in your document. Added localization support for datetime PI -
-
-
Added level 6 to test for section depth in -section.level template so that -section.title.level6.properties will be used for sections -that are 6 deep or deeper. This should also cause a h6 to be -created in html output. -
-
-
Don't use SVG graphics if use.svg=0 -
-
-
Now uses number-and-title-template for sections - only if section.autolabel is not zero. -
-
-
Added missing 'english-language-name' attribute to -the l10n element, and the missing 'style' attribute to the -template element so the current gentext documents will -validate. -
-
-
Corrected several references to parameter - qanda.defaultlabel that were missing the "$". -
-
-
Now accepts admon.textlabel parameter to turn off - Note, Warning, etc. label. -

-
-
Handle othercredit on titlepage a little -better -

Release 1.60.1

- -

Lots of bug fixes.

The format of the titlepage.templates.xml files and -the stylesheet that transforms them have been significantly changed. All of the -attributes used to control the templates are now namespace qualified. So what -used to be:

<t:titlepage element="article" wrapper="fo:block">

is now:

<t:titlepage t:element="article" t:wrapper="fo:block">

Attributes from other namespaces (including those that are unqualified) are -now copied directly through. In practice, this means that the names that used -to be “fo:” qualified:

<title named-template="component.title"
-       param:node="ancestor-or-self::article[1]"
-       fo:text-align="center"
-       fo:keep-with-next="always"
-       fo:font-size="&hsize5;"
-       fo:font-weight="bold"
-       fo:font-family="{$title.font.family}"/>

are now unqualified:

<title t:named-template="component.title"
-       param:node="ancestor-or-self::article[1]"
-       text-align="center"
-       keep-with-next="always"
-       font-size="&hsize5;"
-       font-weight="bold"
-       font-family="{$title.font.family}"/>

The t:titlepage and t:titlepage-content -elements both generate wrappers now. And unqualified attributes on those elements -are passed through. This means that you can now make the title font apply to -ane entire titlepage and make the entire “recto” -titlepage centered by specifying the font and alignment on the those elements:

<t:titlepage t:element="article" t:wrapper="fo:block"
-             font-family="{$title.font.family}">
-
-  <t:titlepage-content t:side="recto"
-             text-align="center">

About dot-zero releases

- -

DocBook Project “dot zero” releases should be - considered experimental and are always - followed by stable “dot one plus” releases, usually within - two or three weeks. Please help to ensure the stability of - “dot one plus” releases by carefully testing each - “dot zero” release and reporting back about any - problems you find.

It is not recommended that you use a “dot zero” - release in a production system. Instead, you should wait for - the “dot one” or greater versions.
