RE: [docbook-apps] Adding attributes/parameters to the "<para>" template?

["David White" <davidw@kencook.com>]

Something like this?

 

<xsl:template match="para[@pm='+++']">

<xsl:param name="pm" select="self::*[@pm][1]/@pm"/>

<fo:inline>

<xsl:value-of select="$pm"/></xsl:apply-templates>

</fo:inline>

</xsl:template>

 

If <para> has no pm attribute this template would be ignored.

<xsl:template match="strict_para[@pm] != 'xxx' ">

</xsl:template>

The above would catch any use of <strict_para> that didn't have an attribute pm which equals 'xxx'.

A good place to read up on XSLT: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XSLT

Hope that helps,

David White

Subject: [docbook-apps] Adding attributes/parameters to the "<para>" template?

Hi,

I am having a hard time trying add a "para template" in my "customization" layer.

I would want to add an parameter to the para template.  This parameter would

contain a string that would be prepended to the paragraph.

So if I had in my xml file this ...

<para pm="+++ ">Hi there </para>

... output would be in html something like ...

<p>+++ Hi there</p>

Also how would I make the template use a default value if the attribute/parameter

was left out?  Also how could I make another template say ... strict_para ... that

would cause an error if the parameter was left out?

I guess I should get a book on xsl ... right?  or is xstl?

Thanks

Plankton
