Subject: Re: DOCBOOK-APPS: Greek identifiers in footnotes
/ Bruce Clavey <claveyb@us.ibm.com> was heard to say: | I would like to figure out how DocBook can identify two items per entry | (i.e., a defining standard and a symbol version) in an interface table. I | would ideally use a superscript for one, and a subscript for the other, but | docbook doesn't expose those as they are formatting issues, not structural | issues. You can specify both sub- and super-scripts. | I'll simply resort to using multiple footnotes per interface. My current | footnotes use automatically assigned roman numerals. I would like for my | versions to come from Greek letters, if possible. I believe there are | entities in Docbook that define these, but I'm not sure how to use them in | a FOOTNOTE ID="XXX" way. | | Any idea how to specify the Greek entities? That would require some stylesheet hackery. Are you using XSL or DSSSL? Can you post a sample of what you need? Be seeing you, norm -- Norman Walsh <ndw@nwalsh.com> | There is no glory so bright but http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/ | the veil of business can hide it Chair, DocBook Technical Committee | effectually. With most men life is | postponed to some trivial business | and so therefore is heaven. Men | think foolishly they may abuse and | misspend life as they please and | when they get to heaven turn over | a new leaf.--Thoreau
