Re: [docbook-apps] refentryinfo is ignored?

["Bob Stayton" <bobs@sagehill.net>]

You are right that refentryinfo elements are currently not processed at all
by the DocBook stylesheets.  I guess they were left as an exercise for the
user.  8^)

You were closer than you imagined to having it working, at least for
chunking HTML.  In the chunking stylesheet, the context node for the
user.footer.content template is the current element being chunked, which
might be a refentry.  Since a refentryinfo element is a child of refentry,
your test can just be to name the element:

<xsl:if test="refentryinfo">

This means "if there is a refentryinfo child in the current context" ...

Likewise for your other items, you can give an XPath down to the
information.

<p><xsl:value-of select="refentryinfo/title"/></p>

You might want to also check for the existance of each element before you
output a paragraph for it, though.

The important point here is knowing what the current context is and how you
can address elements below that context with XPath.
