Subject: RE: DOCBOOK-APPS: page chunking
From my reading of the origial question <beginpage> is exactly what he wanted as he started with a hardcopy and has made a softcopy in Docbook. -----Original Message----- From: Bob Stayton [mailto:bobs@caldera.com] Sent: Saturday, 31 August 2002 2:55 AM To: agon glo; docbook-apps@lists.oasis-open.org Subject: Re: DOCBOOK-APPS: page chunking On Fri, Aug 30, 2002 at 06:27:41AM -0400, agon glo wrote: > Hello, > > I've converted a print book into XML using the DocBook DTD.

You can't, unless you are willing to do some pretty heavy customizing of the chunking stylesheet. My first question is: how did you get <beginpage/> to start a new page in your print output? That is not its purpose (although you are not alone in thinking that it is). See "DocBook: The Definitive Guide" for a description of the beginpage tag (http://docbook.org/tdg/en/html/docbook.html). The DocBook XSL stylesheets don't respond to <beginpage/> unless some customization was done. There is no facility in the chunking stylesheets for arbitrary chunks. A DocBook file is chunked at chapter and section breaks. You have some control over which sections cause a break using stylesheet parameters. See http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/doc/html/index.html for a description of the HTML stylesheet parameters. Hope this helps.
