Subject: DOCBOOK-APPS: Paper Size & Headers
Hello! I got a few questions concerning DSSSL style sheets: 1. How is the default paper size determined? Do I have to override an existing style sheet or does it depend on the lang attribute? (This applies to both the HTML and the print variant of the modular docbook style sheets. I have seen many lines chooped off when printing an HTML document using Netscape's print command.) 2. I would like customize the page headers and footers in the following way: For odd numbered pages: Header: company_logo author's name Revision number document title complete date in national format followed by a horizontal line. That means the company logo should appear on the left side and should span two lines, the author's name should appear in the center, the word "Revision" followed by the revision number should appear right justified. The second line of the header should consist of the document title which is supposed to be centered, and the date should appear right justified. Is it possible to take different date formats into account when doing this? Footer: A horizontal line followed by: file name Page x of y copyright holder and year For even numbered pages: Header: Revision number author's name company logo document title followed by a horzontal line Footer: A horizontal line followed by copyright holder and year Page x of y file name Is it possible to take different languages into account at this point. This would be useful for the date, for the page numbering and the word "Revision". By the way, I was already looking at a few DSSSL tutorials, but in my point of view they don't show you how to create a suitable layout (including page margings, headers and footers, etc.) from scratch. Or can someone point me to a good URL? The tutorials I read were: - Chapter 4.4 of "DocBook: The Definitive Guide" - The Tutorial written by Mr. German - Another tutorial somewhere below www.mulberrytech.com Thanks for taking your time. Any help is greatly appreciated! Greetings, Holger
