Re: [docbook-apps] DocBook XSL Stylesheets V1.62.4 released

[Bob Stayton <bobs@sco.com>]

I want to point out one change that may affect
your customization layer.  This applies to anyone
customizing the generated text for cross references.

In the locale files, the previous versions had the
gentext templates for xrefs divided into these
'context' elements:

xref
section-xref
section-xref-numbered
xref-number-and-title

In version 1.62.x, the templates were made more
consistent and divided into these contexts:

xref
xref-number
xref-number-and-title

The description of when each of these contexts
is used can be found at:

http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/CustomXrefs.html

You may need to update your customization if you use
these contexts.  In particular, the 'xref' context
formerly output number and title for many elements. Now
the xref-number and xref-number-and-title contexts are
used instead for numbered elements.  Which one is used
depends on the parameter 'xref.with.number.and.title',
so you might want to customize for both possiblities.
