RE: [docbook-apps] Rendering issues - foodnotes and qandaset

[Jeff Beal <jeff.beal@ansys.com>]

FOP doesn't support the baseline-shift property, but it does support the
verticle-align property, which can be used to create superscripts.  The
following template used to work to get the footnote marks to work: (I say
'used to' because I haven't tested it with current versions of FOP or the
XSL stylesheets.  It should still work.)

<xsl:template name="format.footnote.mark">
  <xsl:param name="mark" select="'?'"/>
  <fo:inline vertical-align="super" font-size="90%">
    <xsl:copy-of select="$mark"/>
  </fo:inline>
</xsl:template>

On a related note, if you use the DocBook <superscript/> and <subscript/>
elements, the following templates will work in FOP:

<xsl:template name="inline.superscriptseq">
  <xsl:param name="content">
    <xsl:apply-templates/>
  </xsl:param>
  <fo:inline font-size="90%">
    <fo:inline vertical-align="super">
      <xsl:copy-of select="$content"/>
    </fo:inline>
  </fo:inline>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template name="inline.subscriptseq">
  <xsl:param name="content">
    <xsl:apply-templates/>
  </xsl:param>
    <fo:inline font-size="90%">
  <fo:inline vertical-align="sub">
    <xsl:copy-of select="$content"/>
  </fo:inline>
  </fo:inline>
</xsl:template>
