Re: [docbook-apps] Possible <Glossary>/<Subtitle> bug?

Unfortunately, what you are seeing is some obsolete code that should

be removed.  The component.title.mode is no longer used by

the stylesheets.  It was replaced by the titlepage mechanism that

uses the titlepage.templates.xml specification file.  I'll see about

removing the obsolete code.

 

In fact, the glossary subtitle is being handled by the default template for

subtitle in mode='titlepage.mode'.  This template is in xhtml/titlepage.xsl:

 

<xsl:template match="subtitle" mode="titlepage.mode">
  <h2 class="{name(.)}">
    <xsl:apply-templates mode="titlepage.mode"/>
  </h2>
</xsl:template>

 

If you want something different for a glossary subtitle, you can add a

template like this to your customization layer:

 

<xsl:template match="subtitle" mode="glossary.recto.titlepage.mode">
  <h3 class="{name(.)}">
    <xsl:apply-templates mode="titlepage.mode"/>
  </h3>
</xsl:template>

 

This template uses the mode specific to glossary title pages. The

sequence of modes used in titlepages is described in:

You could also change the style of the h2 using a CSS stylesheet

associated with your HTML pages.

Subject: [docbook-apps] Possible <Glossary>/<Subtitle> bug?

I'm experiencing some odd behaviour with the XHTML Stylesheets when processing Glossarys.

For example:

<glossary>
  <title>A Glossary</title>
  <subtitle>subby gloss</subtitle>
...
</glossary>

outputs:

<div>
  <h2 xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" class="title"><a ...></a>A Glossary</h2>
</div>
<div>
  <h2 xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" class="subtitle">subby gloss</h2>
</div>

Glossary.xml (from the latest full release) provides:

<!-- ********************************************************************
     $Id: glossary.xsl,v 1.15 2003/02/28 16:44:35 bobstayton Exp $
     ********************************************************************
...
<xsl:template match="glossary/title" mode="component.title.mode">
  <h2 xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
    <xsl:apply-templates/>
  </h2>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="glossary/subtitle" mode="component.title.mode">
  <h3 xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
    <i><xsl:apply-templates/></i>
  </h3>
</xsl:template>

I can see that match="glossary/title" is working as expected to produce my <h2>s but for some reason match="glossary/subtitle" isn't getting called to produce my <h3>s - I get another <h2>...

Am I understanding the XSL correctly or is there actually something wrong? There's nothing outstanding on the Sourceforge bug tracker...

TIA
