Re: [docbook-apps] Author name in header or footer

Hi

You may find the code below helpful.

The mistakes I made in getting this to work was:

- not setting the namespace correctly

- not setting up default handling for the book meta data

Damon

<!--********

  document meta data element handling

  

  With the way docbook is structured, default handling for all book meta data is explicitly switched off,

  this is to stop accidental processing. It is switched on for <date> because that element is used across the

  document. However (say) <legalnotice> is not handled. The solution is to created a new mode for the titlepage

  template, then apply the usual processing. If this is not here, compile errors and generated. If you use

  xsl-value, then you only get the text appearing, and not the processing of the embedded trademark element

  within legalnotice. Hence this needs to be here.

********-->

<xsl:template match="/d:book/d:info/d:legalnotice" mode="book.titlepage.footer">

  <xsl:apply-templates />

</xsl:template>

<!--********

  footer content

********-->

<xsl:template name="footer.content">

<xsl:param name="pageclass" select="''"/>

<xsl:param name="sequence" select="''"/>

<xsl:param name="position" select="''"/>

<xsl:param name="gentext-key" select="''"/>

<fo:block>

<xsl:if test="not ($pageclass = 'coversequence' and $sequence = 'first')">

<xsl:choose>

<xsl:when test="$position = 'left'">

<xsl:apply-templates select="/d:book/d:info/d:date"/>

<fo:block/>

<xsl:text>v: </xsl:text>

<xsl:apply-templates select="/d:book/d:info/d:revhistory/d:revision[last()]/d:revnumber"/>

</xsl:when>

<xsl:when test="$position = 'center'">

<xsl:apply-templates select="/d:book/d:info/d:legalnotice" mode="book.titlepage.footer"/>

<fo:block/>

<xsl:apply-templates select="/d:book/d:info/d:copyright" mode="titlepage.mode"/>

</xsl:when>

<xsl:when test="$position = 'right'">

<xsl:text>Page: </xsl:text>

<fo:page-number/>

</xsl:when>

</xsl:choose>

</xsl:if>

</fo:block>

</xsl:template>

Hi,

 

I would like to produce a PDF file with docbook-xsl fo stylesheets with authorname in header or footer. All examples I find on the web don’t work.

And the same question with the book’s title.

 

Cordialement,
