Subject: Re: [docbook-apps] Formatting different items
Hi Pontus, I think I can answer at least three of your questions: > 2. I would like increased space before and after a titled figure or > any other formal object. I have tried all sorts of xsl stuff in my > customizationfile without success. There's an attribute set named formal.object.properties [1]. Just define the space before and the space after like this: <xsl:attribute-set name="formal.object.properties"> <xsl:attribute name="space-before.minimum">0.5em</xsl:attribute> <xsl:attribute name="space-before.optimum">1em</xsl:attribute> <xsl:attribute name="space-before.maximum">2em</xsl:attribute> <xsl:attribute name="space-after.minimum">0.5em</xsl:attribute> <xsl:attribute name="space-after.optimum">1em</xsl:attribute> <xsl:attribute name="space-after.maximum">2em</xsl:attribute> </xsl:attribute-set> > 3. I would like figure titles to be non-bolded. > This can be done by using the formal.title.properties attribute set [2]. Here's a snippet from my customisation layer which - sets a special font for formal titles (ScalaSans-Bold) - defines font size - switches off hyphenation - defines space before and after the formal title <xsl:attribute-set name="formal.title.properties" use-attribute-sets="normal.para.spacing"> <xsl:attribute name="font-family">ScalaSans-Bold</xsl:attribute> <xsl:attribute name="font-size">9pt</xsl:attribute> <xsl:attribute name="hyphenate">false</xsl:attribute> <xsl:attribute name="space-before.minimum">0pt</xsl:attribute> <xsl:attribute name="space-before.optimum">0pt</xsl:attribute> <xsl:attribute name="space-before.maximum">0pt</xsl:attribute> <xsl:attribute name="space-after.minimum">8.5pt</xsl:attribute> <xsl:attribute name="space-after.optimum">9pt</xsl:attribute> <xsl:attribute name="space-after.maximum">9.5pt</xsl:attribute> </xsl:attribute-set> Simply change "ScalSans-Bold" to the name of the font you want to use. Another way of achieving this is to set <xsl:attribute name="font-weight">normal</xsl:attribute> in the above attribute set. It depends on the font(s) you use. > 4. I would like the crossreferences to be written as "Chapter: Foo" instead > of "Chapter, Foo". > This can be done by changeing the generated text for this purpose [3]. Here's another snippet from my customisation layer which may get you started: <l:context name="xref-number-and-title"> <l:template name="sect1" style="long" text="Chapter %n %t on page %p"/> <l:template name="sect2" style="long" text="Chapter %n %t on page %p"/> <l:template name="sect3" style="long" text="Chapter %n %t on page %p"/> <l:template name="sect1" style="short" text="Chapter %n"/> <l:template name="sect2" style="short" text="Chapter %n"/> <l:template name="sect3" style="short" text="Chapter %n"/> </l:context> As you can see there are two different styles defined. Using "<xref linkend="some_target" xrefstyle="imperia"> results in "Chapter 1.2.3 <chapter title here> on page 123" in my document. Using "<xref linkend="some_target" xrefstyle="short"> gives me "Chapter 1.2.3".without title or page number. You can define as many styles as you like. You can name these styles (style="your-name") whatever you like, of course.
