Subject: DOCBOOK-APPS: Please forgive the blind fool
I almost certain these questions have been asked time and time again. But I just couldn't find the post in the archive to address them. Maybe I'm blind or incredibly impatient. So I ask you to please forgive me. First I'll address some minor fixes I had to make. 1) The DSSSL for HTML rendering wouldn't print the revhistory block but the print version did. I worked around this by overriding the bookinfo definition in my custom.dsl like so: (define (book-titlepage-recto-elements) (list (normalize "title") (normalize "subtitle") (normalize "graphic") (normalize "mediaobject") (normalize "corpauthor") (normalize "authorgroup") (normalize "author") (normalize "editor") (normalize "copyright") (normalize "abstract") (normalize "legalnotice") (normalize "revhistory"))) I hope I haven't violated any compatibility issues here. 2) TeX rendered callout improperly which I fixed using the (define %callout-fancy-bug% #f) Trick. 3) This one was just minor cosmetics. I wanted to divide a chapter of a book with a small centered solid line. Many fiction based novels would use this technique to separate a change in point-of-view but wouldn't merit a new chapter because the subject matter was the same. With Norman's suggestion I made a custom style for the bridgehead tag. I was a little tough at first as I didn't want to break current functionality but since the renderas="other" wasn't implemented I thought it was safe to use. So now when ever I want a little line separating paragraphs like this: ===== I just place a <bridgehead renderas="other"/> into my document. And the other renderas= tags still work (sect1...sect5). I've attached my custom.dsl to depict how I did this. Once again I hope I haven't broken some compatibility issue or something. Now I'll head into the issues I couldn't work out. 1) <revhistory>. When rendering in html revhistory displays perfectly as does when I use the rtf backend. However when I use the tex backend it does fair to well. First is a spacing issue which I know was address prior on this list. I even double checked the DSSSL code and found a simple (if) block that handles this: cell-before-column-margin: (if (equal? (print-backend) 'tex) 6pt 0pt) Which I can't figure out why this doesn't seem to work. It should use the 6pt but instead it not. I use the `-t tex' argument with openjade is print-backend not expanding to 'tex for some reason? 2) <revremark>. In all the other rendering backends this seems to work fine but in tex mode it doesn't wrap the text. So I once again dove into the DSSSL spec and found that the paragraph Characteristic `lines' defaults to wrap. And oddly enough the the revhistory element prints revremark as a paragraph with no setting for `lines' Unless there is some other Characteristic that's overriding this I can't see how it not working. The wrapping works in rtf mode which uses the print DSSSL's. Maybe a teTeX bug? 3) Page numbering using the print style sheets work fine but the TOC doesn't seem to keep up. If I use the tex backend I get ?? for all the TOC's page numbers. With the rtf backend I get i for the first page. ii for the preface. 1 for the TOC page. 2 for the first chapter. and then the rest stays at 2. I bet I missed a step. Maybe there is a post processor there which will sync up the TOC (what's that collateindex.pl?). Any helpful tips? To the best of my knowladge I'm useing the following: DocBook XML V4.1.2 DocBook DSSSL V1.61 OpenJade version "1.3" OpenSP version "1.3.4" TeX (Web2C 7.3.1) 3.14159 kpathsea version 3.3.1 pdfTeX (Web2C 7.3.1) 3.14159-0.13d kpathsea version 3.3.1 $Id: jadetex.dtx,v 1.3 1999/07/07 23:57:15 clasen Exp $ Thanks in advance for bearing through such silliness. -- Important letters which contain no errors will develop errors in the mail.
