Subject: Re: [docbook-apps] A docbook-xsl parameter "bridgehead.renderas"

Hi Erik, I don't see anything wrong with the idea, though I'm not sure it would be widely used (bridgeheads themselves don't seem to be widely used, though they can be really helpful). You can enter Feature Requests at http://sourceforge.net/p/docbook/feature-requests/. You probably need a sourceforge login, but that's easy and free.
OK. I started doing that, editing the request in the web interface, attaching a file with a patch, but when hitting the Save button nothing happened. Hitting once more: no dice.
Please, instead, find attached a proposed implementation of the feature that I described. It's a customization of the distribution-supplied bridgehead template in fo/sections.xsl. It presumes a newly introduced FO parameter "bridgehead.renderas", to be initially defined as:
<xsl:param name="bridgehead.renderas"/>The parameter can be assigned the same values as the "renderas" attribute to the bridgehead element: sect1, sect2, sect3, sect4, sect5.
For any particular bridgehead instance, the setting for its renderas attribute overrides the setting of the document level parameter. This stylesheet is provided to the docbook-xsl project as a basis for a patch, at their discretion. And to everybody to use at liberty. Greetings, Erik Leunissen. --

As it happens, I find myself repeatedly in the situation where I want to use bridgeheads. In all of these cases I want all bridgeheads throughout the document to be rendered in the same way; as a section at a specific level (e.g. sect5). [*] The facility to customize this is the renderas attribute to the bridgehead element. In my use case, it strikes me as inapt to have to adjust that attribute in ever the same way for each instance of a bridgehead in the document. It seems logical/practical to have a docbook-xsl parameter (e.g. "bridgehead.renderas") which handles this at at the document level. The docbook-xsl stylesheets do not currently provide such a facility. Well, I guess that amounts to a Feature Request ... Anything wrong with this idea? Greetings, Erik Leunissen.
