Subject: abbrev/acronym expansion(amplification)


how do I get
    <acronym title="Fully Qualified Domain Name">FQDN</acronym>
into my XHTML output from DocBook/XML?

it appears that this question was asked 3.5 years ago already
<http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/docbook-tc/200201/msg00017.html>
but the issue is still here.

So, acronym (and abbrev) in DocBook/XML does not have an attribute I
could use here.

<acronym>FQDN<remark>Fully Qualified Domain Name</remark></acronym>
appears to be the only option (right?)

now I need a stylesheet:

<xsl:template match="acronym">
 <acronym>
  <xsl:attribute name="title">
   <xsl:value-of select="remark"/>
  </xsl:attribute>
  <xsl:apply-imports/>
 </acronym>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="acronym/remark"/>

it appears to work.
is it OK?

thanks.

There are two ways to write error-free programs; only the third one works.
