Re: [docbook-apps] table customization problem

[Holger Morch <morch@osiag.de>]

Hi Mita,

I had a similar problem while transforming to a html file. I'd differ 
between two kinds of table.

My docbook xml file looks like that:

    <section role="table1">
        <title>ABC</title>
        <informaltable>
             ...
        </informaltable>
    </section>

    <section role="table2">
        <title>DEF</title>
        <informaltable>
             ...
        </informaltable>
    </section>


With this extension in customization layer a surrounding div-tag has not 
only the class "table" but also the class named with the role attribute. 
The output is <div class="table table1">

<xsl:template match="section">
  <xsl:variable name="depth" select="count(ancestor::section)+1"/>

  <div>
      <xsl:attribute name="class">
          <xsl:value-of select="name(.)" />
          <xsl:if test="@role">
                  <xsl:value-of select="concat(' ', @role)" />
          </xsl:if>
      </xsl:attribute>
    <xsl:call-template name="language.attribute"/>
    <xsl:call-template name="section.titlepage"/>

    <xsl:variable name="toc.params">
      <xsl:call-template name="find.path.params">
        <xsl:with-param name="table" 
select="normalize-space($generate.toc)"/>
      </xsl:call-template>
    </xsl:variable>

    <xsl:if test="contains($toc.params, 'toc') and $depth &lt;= 
$generate.section.toc.level">
      <xsl:call-template name="section.toc">
        <xsl:with-param name="toc.title.p" select="contains($toc.params, 
'title')"/>
      </xsl:call-template>
      <xsl:call-template name="section.toc.separator"/>
    </xsl:if>
    <xsl:apply-templates/>
    <xsl:call-template name="process.chunk.footnotes"/>
  </div>
</xsl:template>


In my css file I added the formating of the two tables like this.

div.table1 table { ... }
div.table2 table { ... }

I hope that helps you.
