Re: [docbook-apps] table customization problem

[HolgerMorch <morch@osiag.de>]

Hello Mita,

My solution was relating to a single html file and described only the 
change for section. Your problem is to include the customization at the 
right place.

Javahelp imports html/chunk.xsl but this file processes chapters and 
sections into multiple files before calling to original template to 
generate the content (<xsl:apply-imports/> is used).

As Bob Stayton in "DocBook XSL: The Complete Guide" Section "Chunking 
customization" 
(http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/ChunkingCustomization.html) 
describes the customization for the single page output must be imported 
before the chunking directives.

I use eclipse and ant to generate html, html_chunk and pdf. The 
following description refer to docbook-xsl-1.69.1.zip. I don't know the 
best way for you to import the files into each other. Maybe you edit the 
files directly in the zip or you extract it.

Finally you use javahelp.xsl or profile-javahelp.xsl as stylesheet for 
your xsl-processor. In line 6 this file imports the html/chunk.xsl file. 
The first possibility is to redirect this to an other file (e.g. 
mychunk.xsl) or you edit html/chunk.xsl.

1st case:
mychunk.xsl is a copy of html/chunk.xsl. Paste the customization of the 
section after
<xsl:import href="docbook.xsl"/>	line 18

2nd case:
Edit html/chunk.xsl in line 18 from
<xsl:import href="docbook.xsl"/>
to
<xsl:import href="mydocbook.xsl"/>.
mydocbook.xsl contains your customization for the single files. See 
"DocBook XSL: The Complete Guide", "Chapter 8. Customization methods", 
"Example 8.1. Customization layer".
Important  is marker 3. This imports the standard html transformations.
At marker 4 you can change the standard for a section by pasting the 
customization of the section.

I think the second possibility is better because you don't change the 
behavior of the html chunk function.

Take care of the paths to the different files.I can't test this because 
I have no sources to build javahelp from. But I hope this time it will work.


    Regards

       Holger
