Re: [docbook-apps] issue with 1.79.1 stylesheets and table id

[Tim Arnold <jtim.arnold@gmail.com>]

hi Bob, thanks!

I must still be doing something wrong since I keep getting that attribute. Here is my test.xsl customization layer:

<?xml version='1.0'?>

<xsl:stylesheet

    xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"

    version="1.0">

  <xsl:import href="">

  <xsl:template mode="htmlTableAtt" select="xml:id" />

</xsl:stylesheet>

any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?

thanks,

--Tim

Hi Tim,
Yes, this is a bug.  In DocBook 5, HTML-coded tables were allowed to have attributes with HTML attribute names such as @onmouseover, and they were expected to be passed through to the HTML table output.  To support such attributes, version 1.79.1 added a template that starts with this:

<!-- copy these through -->
<xsl:template mode="htmlTableAtt"
              match="@abbr
                   | @align
                   | @axis
                   ...

which copies those attributes through.  Unfortunately, it mistakenly includes xml:id, which should not be there, because the id is output elsewhere.

So the workaround for you is to add this to your customization layer:

<xsl:template mode="htmlTableAtt" select="xml:id" />

I'm using the 1.79.1 html stylesheets with the following example
document I get an "xml:id" attribute on the resulting html table.

That attribute causes some problems for me further down the processing
line. This didn't occur with the 1.78.1 stylesheets. I'm guessing that
this is a bug?

Here's the example:

<chapter xnlns="http://docbook.org/ns/docbook" version="5.0" xml:id="test">
<info><title>My Chapter</title></info>
   <para>
     <table xml:id="one.two.three">
       <caption>My Table</caption>
       <tr><th>column 1</th><th>column 2</th></tr>
     </table>
   </para>
</chapter>

I get xml:id on the resulting html table, using this command line:

xsltproc/path/to/docbook/xsl-1.79.1/html/docbook.xsl test.xml

<div class="table">
   <a name="one.two.three"></a>
   <p class="title"><b>Table▒1.1.▒My Table</b></p>
   <div class="table-contents">
     <table*xml:id="one.two.three"*>
       <tr><th>column 1</th><th>column 2</th></tr>
     </table>
   </div>
</div>


When I change to the 1.78.1 stylesheets:

xsltproc /path/to/docbook/xsl-1.78.1/html/docbook.xsl test.xml

The output is okay:

<div class="table">
   <a name="one.two.three"></a>
   <p class="title"><b>Table▒1.1.▒My Table</b></p>
   <div class="table-contents">
     <table>
       <tr><th>column 1</th><th>column 2</th></tr>
     </table>
   </div>
</div>

Is there something I can do outside of postprocessing the html to omit
that attribute?

thanks,
