Subject: Lot of doubts about formatting with xsltproc
Dear all, I am trying to put up a DocBook system (task not so easy on Cygwin...), and the first document I am working on is a set of quotations. I managed to convert a sample file, with command xsltproc file:///lib/docbook-xsl/xhtml/docbook.xsl citazioni.xml > citazioni.html You may see both files at http://xmau.com/scra/ . I have a lot of doubts, however. Most of them must be simple, and if someone could point me to a good tutorial I would be really grateful. (a) I would like to have my output coded in ISO-8859-1 rather than in UTF-8; it's not mandatory, since a remote page is loaded fine, but I am annoyed since I cannot see the file correctly on my local machine. Is it possible to do so? (b) Another nuisance is that the output is a loooong line. Is there a way to have it split? (c) I don't want to see the standard text like "Sommario" and "Capitolo 1". Is there a way to modify the behaviour of the transformation filter? (d) Am I correct in inferring that the "right" way to have some leading and trailing space between quotes, and return lines between quotes in a blockquote block, is to apply a style sheet? If so, is there a way to add its location in the original XML file? (BTW, I would have preferred to use <para> instead of <quote>, but I think that it is not possible, right?) (e) I also want to start from the XML source and generate a plain text file in a format apt to be used by fortune. What should I do? (f) (and last!) Why the public identifier for DocBook does not seem to work? what should I do in order to cope with this? TIA, .mau.
