Subject: Re: [docbook] numbered para element for program language statutes/clauses or legalese?
You could achieve this by assigning a role attribute to those special paragraphs, such as role="statute" or whatever it is you are counting. The stylesheet customization would add a template that matches on para with that role. The number could be generated using xsl:number, and with the right attributes it will number continuously through a document, chapter, or whatever. Something like this: <xsl:template match="para[@role = 'statute']"> <fo:block xsl:use-attribute-sets="normal.para.spacing"> <xsl:call-template name="anchor"/> <xsl:number count="para[@role = 'statute']" level="any"/> <xsl:text>. </xsl:text> <xsl:apply-templates/> </fo:block> </xsl:template> Bob Stayton Sagehill Enterprises DocBook Consulting bobs@sagehill.net ----- Original Message ----- From: "Doug du Boulay" <ddb@owari.msl.titech.ac.jp> To: <docbook@lists.oasis-open.org> Sent: Monday, January 17, 2005 1:23 AM Subject: [docbook] numbered para element for program language statutes/clauses or legalese? > > I was wondering what the (DocBook and XSL) options are for having > sequentially numbered/labelled paragraphs such as legal statutes or > clauses where the labelling remains sequential, continuous across multiple > section? > > Basically I am looking to emulate something like: > http://www.iucr.org/iucr-top/cif/spec/version1.1/cifsemantics.html > (hmmm. seems to be off air at the moment) > > where most paragraphs are numbered, but for instance, the second etc. para > elements of a certain point aren't.
