Re: [docbook-apps] productionset counter issue

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

Hi Robert,

The stylesheet seems to be hard coded with continuous numbering throughout the document.  The template that handles production (in fo/ebnf.xsl) uses this xsl:number instruction:

 

<xsl:template match="production">

  ...

  <xsl:number count="production" level="any"/>

 

To change that behavior, you would need to copy that template to a customization layer and change the xsl:number element to reset at whatever boundary you want by adding a "from" attribute:

 

<xsl:number count="production" level="any" from="chapter|article|appendix"/>

 

This element is a bit of an exception in the stylesheets.  Most numbered items are numbered using a template with mode="label.markup".  Using a mode enables the number to be reused in more than one place, as for a table of contents or cross reference.  I'm going to file that as a bug so it can get fixed for a future release.

Subject: [docbook-apps] productionset counter issue

Hi,

I have a book that contains several articles. There are two

productionset elements within the book, each one in a different

article. One contains 10 production elements, second 47 elements. I

use DocbookXSL 1.75.0, XHTML output.

Now, the problem is that for the first set, the counter starts from 1

and goes to 10, and for the second set the counter starts form 11. I

would expect that the counter resets, i.e. starts from 1, for each

productionset. Is this expected behaviour? Is there a way to control

that?

Thanks,

Robert
