Subject: ANNOUNCE: DocBook XSL 1.70.0 released
Version 1.70.0 of the DocBook XSL stylesheets is now available for
download from the DocBook project site:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/docbook
The release notes are included below. HTML and PDF versions of the
release notes are also available:
http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/RELEASE-NOTES.html
http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/RELEASE-NOTES.pdf
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As with all DocBook Project dot-zero releases, this is an experimental
release. It will be followed shortly by a stable release.
This release adds a number of new features, including:
* support for selecting alternative index-collation methods (in particular,
support for using a collation library developed by Eliot Kimber)
* improved handling of DocBook 5 document instances (through a
namespace-stripping mechanism)
* full support for CALS and HTML tables in manpages output
* a mechanism for preserving relative URIs in documents that make use of
XInclude
* support for the "new" .90 version of FOP
* enhanced capabilities for controlling formatting of lists in HTML and FO
output
* autogeneration of AUTHOR and COPYRIGHT sections in manpages output
* support for generating crop marks in FO/PDF output
The following is a detailed list of enhancements and API changes that have
been made since the 1.69.1 release.
Common
The following changes have been made to the common code since the 1.69.1
release.
* Add the xsl:key for the kimber indexing method.
* Add support for qandaset.
* Support dbhtml/dbfo start PI for orderedlist numbering in both HTML and FO
* Added CVS header.
* Changed content model of text element to ANY rather than #PCDATA
because they could contain markup.
* Added refentry.meta.get.quietly param.
If zero (the default), notes and warnings about "missing" markup
are generated during gathering of refentry metadata. If non-zero,
the metadata is gathered "quietly" -- that is, the notes and
warnings are suppressed.
NOTE: If you are processing a large amount of refentry content,
you may be able to speed up processing significantly by
setting a non-zero value for refentry.meta.get.quietly.
* After namespace stripping, the source document is the temporary tree
created by the stripping process and it has the wrong base URI for
relative references. Earlier versions of this code used to try to
fix that by patching the elements with relative @fileref attributes.
That was inadequate because it calculated an absolute base URI without
considering that there might be xml:base attributes already in effect.
It seems obvious now that the right thing to do is simply to put the
xml:base on the root of the document. And that seems to work.
* Added support for "software" and "sectdesc" class values on
refmiscinfo; "software" is treated identically to "source", and
"setdesc" is treated identically to "manual".
* Added support for DocBook 5 namespace-stripping in manpages
stylesheet. Closes request #1210692.
* Added <xsl:template match="/"> to make stripns.xsl usable as a
standalone stylesheet for stripping out DocBook 5/NG to DocBook 4.
Note that DocBook XSLT drivers that include this stylesheet all
override the match="/" template.
* Number figures, examples, and tables from book if there is no prefix (i.e.
if chapter.autolabel is set to 0). This avoids having the list of figures
where the figures mysteriously restart their numeration periodically when
chapter.autolabel is set to 0.
* Add task template in title.markup mode.
* Add children (with ids) of formal objects to target data.
* Added support for case when personname doesn't contain specific name
markup (as allowed in DocBook 5.0)
Extensions
The following changes have been made to the extensions code since the 1.69.1
release.
* Support Xalan 2.7
* Handle the case where the imageFn is actually a URI. This still needs
work.
FO
The following changes have been made to the fo code since the 1.69.1 release.
* Adapted to the new indexing code. Now works just like a wrapper that calls
kosek indexing method, originally implemented here.
* Added parameters for header/footer table minimum height.
* Add the index.method parameter.
* Integrate support for three indexing methods:
- the original English-only method.
- Jirka Kosek's method using EXSLT extensions.
- Eliot Kimber's method using Saxon extensions.
Use the 'index.method' parameter to select.
* Add support for TOC for qandaset in fo output.
* Added parameter ulink.hyphenate.chars.
Added parameter insert.link.page.number.
* Implemented feature request #942524 to add insert.link.page.number to
allow link element cross references to have a page number.
* Add support for ulink.hyphenate.chars so more characters can
be break points in urls.
* Implemented patch #1075144 to make the url text in a ulink in FO
output an active link as well.
* table footnotes now have their own table.footnote.properties attribute
set.
* Add qandaset to root.elements.
* Added mode="page.sequence" to make it easier to put content
into a page sequence. First used for qandaset.
* Implemented feature request #1434408 to support formatting of
biblioentry.
* Added biblioentry.properties.
* Support PTC/Arbortext bookmarks
* Added table.footnote.properties to permit table footnotes to
format differently from regular footnotes.
* Refactored table templates to unify their processing and
support all options in all types. Now table and informaltable,
in both Cals and Html markup, use the same templates where
possible, and all support pgwide, rotation, and floats.
There is also a placeholder table.container template to support
wrapping a table in a layout table, so the XEP table title
"continued" extension can be more easily implemented.
* Added new attribute set toc.line.properties for controlling appearance of
lines in ToC/LoT
* Added support for float to example and equation.
Added support for pgwide to figure, example, and equation
(the latter two via a dbfo pgwide="1" processing instruction).
* Add pgwide.properties attribute-set.
* Added refclass.suppress param.
If the value of refclass.suppress is non-zero, then display
refclass contents is suppressed in output. Affects HTML and FO
output only.
* Improved support for task subelements
* Adjusted spacing around K&R-formatted Funcdef and Paramdef output
such that it can more easily be discerned where one ends and the
other begins. Closes #1213264.
* Made handling of paramdef/parameter in FO output consistent with
that in HTML and manpages output. Closes #1213259.
* Made handling of Refnamediv consistent with formatting in HTML and
manpages output; specifically, changed so that Refname
(comma-separated list of multiple instances found) is used
(instead of Refentrytitle as previously), then em-dash, then the
Refpurpose. Closes #1212562.
* Added output of Releaseinfo to recto titlepage ("copyright" page)
for Book in FO output. This makes it consistent with HTML output.
Closes #1327034. Thanks to Paul DuBois for reporting.
* Added condition for setting block-progression-dimension.minimum on
table-row, instead of height, when fop1.extensions is non-zero.
For an explanation of the reason for the change, see:
http://wiki.apache.org/xmlgraphics-fop/Troubleshooting/CommonLogMessages
* Added new refclass.suppress param for suppressing display of
Refclass in HTML and FO output. Did not add it to manpages because
manpages stylesheet is currently just silently ignoring Refclass
anyway. Closes request #1461065. Thanks to Davor Ocelic (docelic)
for reporting.
* Add support for keep-together PI to informal objects.
* Add support for fop1.extensions.
* Add support for fop1 bookmarks.
* Add fop1.extentions parameter to add support for
fop development version.
* Start supporting fop development version, which will
become fop version 1.
* Add template for task in mode="xref-to".
* table footnotes now also get footnote.properties attribute-set.
* Added index.separator named template to compute the
separator punctuation based on locale.
* Added support for link, olink, and xref within OO Classsynopsis
and children. (Because DocBook NG/5 allows it).
* Support date as an inline
* Added new parameter keep.relative.image.uris
* Map Unicode space characters U+2000-U+200A to fo:leaders.
* Output a real em dash for em-dash dingbat (instead of two hypens).
* Support default label width parameters for itemized and ordered lists
* Generate localized title for Refsynopsisdiv if no appropriate
Title descendant found in source. Closes #1212398. This change
makes behavior for the Synopsis title consistent with the behavior
of HTML and manpages output.
Also, added xsl:use-attribute-sets="normal.para.spacing" to block
generated for Cmdsynopsis output. Previously, that block had no
spacing at all specified, which resulted it being crammed up to
closely to the Synopsis head.
* Added parameters to support localization of index item
punctuation.
* Added index.number.separator, index.range.separator, and
index.term.separator parameters to support localization
of punctuation in index entries.
* Added "Cross References" section in HTML doc (for consistency with
the FO doc). Also, moved the existing FO "Cross References"
section to follow the "Linking" section.
* Added ID attribues to all Reference elements (e.g., id="tables"
for the doc for section on Table params). So pages for all
subsections of ref docs now have stable filenames instead of
arbitrary generated filenames.
* Added two new parameters for handling of multi-term varlistentry
elements:
variablelist.term.break.after:
When the variablelist.term.break.after is non-zero, it will
generate a line break after each term multi-term varlistentry.
variablelist.term.separator:
When a varlistentry contains multiple term elements, the string
specified in the value of the variablelist.term.separator
parameter is placed after each term except the last. The default
is ", " (a comma followed by a space). To suppress rendering of
the separator, set the value of variablelist.term.separator to
the empty string ("").
These parameters are primarily intended to be useful if you have
multi-term varlistentries that have long terms.
Closes #1306676. Thanks to Sam Steingold for providing an example
"lots of long terms" doc that demonstrated the value of having
these options.
Also, added normalize-space() call to processing of each term.
This change affects all output formats (HTML, PDF, manpages). The
default behavior should pretty much remain the same as before, but
it is possible (as always) that the change may introduce some new
bugginess.
* Add sidebar titlepage placeholder attset for styles.
* Add titlepage for sidebar.
* Implemented RFE #1292615.
Added bunch of new parameters (attribute sets) that affect list
presentation: list.block.properties, itemizedlist.properties, orderedlist
.properties, itemizedlist.label.properties and orderedlist.label
.properties. Default behaviour of stylesheets has not been changed but
further customizations will be much more easier.
* Implemented RFE #1242092.
You can enable crop marks in your document by setting crop.marks=1 and
xep.extensions=1.
Appearance of crop marks can be controlled by parameters crop.mark.bleed
(6pt), crop.mark.offset (24pt) and crop.mark.width (0.5pt).
Also there is new named template called user-xep-pis. You can overwrite it
in order to produce some PIs that can control XEP as described in
http://www.renderx.com/reference.html#Output_Formats
HTML
The following changes have been made to the html code since the 1.69.1
release.
* implemented index.method parameter and three methods.
* added index.method parameter to support 3 indexing methods.
* Implemented feature request #1072510 as a processing instruction
to permit including external HTML content into HTML output.
* Added new parameter chunk.tocs.and.lots.has.title which controls presence
of title in a separate chunk with ToC/LoT. Disabling title can be very
useful if you are generating frameset output (well, yes those frames, but
some customers really want them ;-).
* Support dbhtml/dbfo start PI for orderedlist numbering in both HTML and FO
* Allow ToC without title also for set and book.
* Implemented floats uniformly for figure, example, equation and
informalfigure, informalexample, and informalequation.
* Added the autotoc.label.in.hyperlink param.
If the value of autotoc.label.in.hyperlink is non-zero, labels are
included in hyperlinked titles in the TOC. If it is instead zero,
labels are still displayed prior to the hyperlinked titles, but
are not hyperlinked along with the titles.
Closes patch #1065868. Thanks to anatoly techtonik for the patch.
* Added two new params: html.head.legalnotice.link.types and
html.head.legalnotice.link.multiple.
If the value of the generate.legalnotice.link is non-zero, then
the stylesheet generates (in the head section of the HTML source)
either a single HTML link element or, if the value of the
html.head.legalnotice.link.multiple is non-zero, one link element
for each link type specified. Each link has the following
attributes:
- a rel attribute whose value is derived from the value of
html.head.legalnotice.link.types
- an href attribute whose value is set to the URL of the file
containing the legalnotice
- a title attribute whose value is set to the title of the
corresponding legalnotice (or a title programatically
determined by the stylesheet)
For example:
<link rel="copyright" href="ln-id2524073.html" title="Legal Notice">
Closes #1476450. Thanks to Sam Steingold.
* Added refclass.suppress param.
If the value of refclass.suppress is non-zero, then display
refclass contents is suppressed in output. Affects HTML and FO
output only.
* Improved support for task subelements
* Added new refclass.suppress param for suppressing display of
Refclass in HTML and FO output. Did not add it to manpages because
manpages stylesheet is currently just silently ignoring Refclass
anyway. Closes request #1461065. Thanks to Davor Ocelic (docelic)
for reporting.
* Process alt text with normalize-space().
Replace tab indents with spaces.
* Content of citation element is automatically linked to the bibliographic
entry with the corresponding abbrev.
* Add template for task in mode="xref-to".
* Suppress ID warnings if the .warnings parameter is 0
* Add support for floatstyle to figure.
* Handling of xref to area/areaset need support in extensions code also. I
currently have no time to touch extensions code, so code is here to be
enabled when extension is fixed also.
* Added 3 parameters for overriding gentext for
index punctuation.
* Added parameters to support localization of index item
punctuation.
Added index.separator named template to compute the
separator punctuation based on locale.
* Added a <div class="{$class}-contents"> wrapper around output of
contents of all formal objects. Also, added an optional
<br class="{class}-break"/> linebreak after all formal objects.
WARNING: Because this change places an additional DIV between the
DIV wrapper for the equation and the equation contents, it may
break some existing CSS stylesheets that have been created with
the assumption that there would never be an intervening DIV there.
The following is an example of what Equation output looks like as
a result of the changes described above.
<div class="equation">
<a name="three" id="three"></a>
<p class="title"><b>(1.3)</b></p>
<div class="equation-contents">
<span class="mathphrase">1+1=3</span>
</div>
</div><br class="equation-break">
Rationale: These changes allow CSS control of the placement of the
formal-object title relative to the formal-object contents. For
example, using the CSS "float" property enables the title and
contents to be rendered on the same line. Example stylesheet:
.equation {
margin-top: 20px;
margin-bottom: 20px;
}
.equation-contents {
float: left;
}
.equation .title {
margin-top: 0;
float: right;
margin-right: 200px;
}
.equation .title b {
font-weight: normal;
}
.equation-break {
clear: both;
}
Note that the purpose of the ".equation-break" class is to provide
a way to clear off the floats.
If you want to instead have the equation title rendered to the left
of the equation contents, you can do something like this:
.equation {
margin-top: 20px;
width: 300px;
margin-bottom: 20px;
}
.equation-contents {
float: right;
}
.equation .title {
margin-top: 0;
float: left;
margin-right: 200px;
}
.equation .title b {
font-weight: normal;
}
.equation-break {
clear: both;
}
* Added a chunker.output.quiet top-level parameter so that the chunker can
be made quiet by default
* Added support for link, olink, and xref within OO Classsynopsis
and children. (Because DocBook NG/5 allows it).
* New parameter: id.warnings. If non-zero, warnings are generated for titled
objects that don't have titles. True by default; I wonder if this will be
too aggressive?
* If the keep.relative.image.uris parameter is true, don't use the absolute
URI (as calculated from xml:base) in the img src attribute, us the value
the author specified. Note that we still have to calculate the absolute
filename for use in the image intrinsics extension.
* Support date as an inline
* Added new parameter keep.relative.image.uris
* Added two new parameters for handling of multi-term varlistentry
elements:
variablelist.term.break.after:
When the variablelist.term.break.after is non-zero, it will
generate a line break after each term multi-term varlistentry.
variablelist.term.separator:
When a varlistentry contains multiple term elements, the string
specified in the value of the variablelist.term.separator
parameter is placed after each term except the last. The default
is ", " (a comma followed by a space). To suppress rendering of
the separator, set the value of variablelist.term.separator to
the empty string ("").
These parameters are primarily intended to be useful if you have
multi-term varlistentries that have long terms.
Closes #1306676. Thanks to Sam Steingold for providing an example
"lots of long terms" doc that demonstrated the value of having
these options.
Also, added normalize-space() call to processing of each term.
This change affects all output formats (HTML, PDF, manpages). The
default behavior should pretty much remain the same as before, but
it is possible (as always) that the change may introduce some new
bugginess.
* Added "wrapper-name" param to inline.charseq named template,
enabling it to output inlines other than just "span". Acronym and
Abbrev templates now use inline.charseq to output HTML "acronym"
and "abbr" elements (instead of "span"). Closes #1305468. Thanks
to Sam Steingold for suggesting the change.
Manpages
The following changes have been made to the manpages code since the 1.69.1
release.
* Added the following params:
- man.indent.width (string-valued)
- man.indent.refsect (boolean)
- man.indent.blurbs (boolean)
- man.indent.lists (boolean)
- man.indent.verbatims (boolean)
Note that in earlier snapshots, man.indent.width was named
man.indentation.default.value and the boolean params had names
like man.indentation.*.adjust. Also the man.indent.blurbs param
was called man.indentation.authors.adjust (or something).
The behavior now is: If the value of a particular man.indent.*
boolean param is non-zero, the corresponding contents (refsect*,
list items, authorblurb/personblurb, vervatims) are displayed with
a left margin indented by a width equal to the value of
man.indent.width.
* Added man.table.footnotes.divider param.
In each table that contains footenotes, the string specified by
the man.table.footnotes.divider parameter is output before the
list of footnotes for the table.
* Added the man.output.in.separate.dir, man.output.base.dir, and
man.output.subdirs.enabled parameters.
The man.output.base.dir parameter specifies the base directory
into which man-page files are output. The
man.output.subdirs.enabled parameter controls whether the files
are output in subdirectories within the base directory.
The values of the man.output.base.dir and
man.output.subdirs.enabled parameters are used only if the value
of man.output.in.separate.dir parameter is non-zero. If the value
of man.output.in.separate.dir is zero, man-page files are not
output in a separate directory.
* Added man.font.table.headings and man.font.table.title params,
for controlling font in table headings and titles.
* Added man.font.funcsynopsisinfo and man.font.funcprototype
params, for specifying the roff font (for example, BI, B, I) for
funcsynopsisinfo and funcprototype output.
* Added man.segtitle.suppress param.
If the value of man.segtitle.suppress is non-zero, then display of
segtitle contents is suppressed in output.
* Added man.output.manifest.enabled and man.output.manifest.filename params.
If man.output.manifest.enabled is non-zero, a list of filenames
for man pages generated by the stylesheet transformation is
written to the file named by man.output.manifest.filename
* Added refentry.meta.get.quietly param.
If zero (the default), notes and warnings about "missing" markup
are generated during gathering of refentry metadata. If non-zero,
the metadata is gathered "quietly" -- that is, the notes and
warnings are suppressed.
NOTE: If you are processing a large amount of refentry content,
you may be able to speed up processing significantly by
setting a non-zero value for refentry.meta.get.quietly.
* Changed names of all boolean indentation params to man.indent.*
Also discarded individual man.indent.*.value params and switched
to just using a common man.indent.width param (3n by default).
* Added boolean man.output.in.separate.dir param, to control whether
or not man files are output in separate directory.
* Added options for controlling indentation of verbatim output.
Controlled through the man.indentation.verbatims.adjust and
man.indentation.verbatims.value params. Closes #1242997
* Added options for controlling indentation in lists and in *blurb
output in the AUTHORS section. Controlled through the
man.indentation.lists.adjust, man.indentation.lists.value,
man.indentation.authors.adjust, and man.indentation.authors.value
parameters. Default is 3 characters (instead of the roff default
of 8 characters). Closes #1449369.
Also, removed the indent that was being set on informalexample
outuput. I will instead add an option for indenting verbatims,
which I think is what the informalexample indent was intended for
originally.
* Changed line-spacing call before synopfragment to use ".sp -1n"
("n" units specified) instead of plain ".sp -1"
* Added support for writing man files into a specific output
directory and into appropriate subdirectories within that output
directory. Controlled through the man.base.dir parameter (similar
to the base.dir support in the HTML stylesheet) and the
man.subdirs.enabled parameter, which automatically determines the
name of an appropriate subdir (for example, man/man7, man/man1,
etc.) based on the section number/manvolnum of the source Refentry.
Closes #1255036 and #1170317. Thanks to Denis Bradford for the
original feature request, and to Costin Stroie for submitting a
patch that was very helpful in implementing the support.
* Refined XPath statements and notification messages for refentry
metadata handling.
* Added support for copyright and legalnotice.
The manpages stylesheets now output a COPYRIGHT section, after the
AUTHORS section, if a copyright or legalnotice is found in the
source. The section contains the copyright contents followed by
the legalnotice contents. Closes #1450209.
* Drastically reworked all of the XPath expressions used in refentry
metadata gathering -- completely removed $parentinfo and turned
$info into a set of nodes that includes the *info contents of the
Refentry plus the *info contents all all of its ancestor
elements. The basic XPath expression now used throughout is (using
the example of checking for a date):
(($info[//date])[last()]/date)[1].
That selects the "last" *info/date date in document order -- that
is, the one eitther on the Refentry itself or on the closest
ancestor to the Refentry.
It's likely this change may break some things; may need to pick
up some pieces later.
Also, changed the default value for the man.th.extra2.max.length
from 40 to 30.
* Added support for DocBook 5 namespace-stripping in manpages
stylesheet. Closes request #1210692.
* Fixed handling of table footnotes.
With this checkin, the table support in the manpages stylesheet is
now basically feature complete. So this change closes request
#619532, "No support for tables" -- the oldest currently open
manpages feature request, submitted by Ben Secrest (blsecres) on
2002-10-07. Congratulations to me [patting myself on the back].
* Added handling for table titles. Also fixed handling of nested
tables; nest tables are now "extracted" and displayed just after
their parent tables.
* Added option for turning off bold formatting in Funcsynopsis.
Boldface formatting in function synopsis is mandated in the man(7)
man page and is used almost universally in existing man pages.
Despite that, it really does look like crap to have an entire
Funcsynopsis output in bold, so I added params for turning off the
bold formatting and/or replacing it with a different roff special
font (e.g., "RI" for alternating roman/italic instead of the
default "BI" for alternating bold/italic). The new params are
"man.funcprototype.font" and "man.funcsynopsisinfo.font". To be
documented later.
Closes #1452247. Thanks to Joe Orton for the feature request.
* Use AUTHORS instead of AUTHOR if we have multiple people to
attribute. Also, fixed checking such that we generate author
section even if we don't have an author (as long as there is at
least one other person/entity we can put in the section). Also
adjusted assembly of content for Author metainfo field such that
we now not only use author, but try to find a "best match" if we
can't find an author name to put there.
Closes #1233592. Thanks to Sam Steingold for the request.
* Changes for request #1243027, "Impove handling of AUTHOR section."
This adds support for Collab, Corpauthor, Corpcredt, Orgname,
Publishername, and Publisher. Also adds support for output of
Affiliation and its children, and support for using gentext
strings for auto-attributing roles (Author, Editor, Publisher,
Translator, etc.). Also did a lot of code cleanup and
modularization of all the AUTHOR handling code. And fixed a bug
that was causing Author info to not be picked up correctly for
metainfo comment we embed in man-page source.
* Support bold output for "emphasis remap='B'". (because Eric
Raymond's doclifter(1) tool converts groff source marked up with
".B" request or "\fB" escapes to DocBook "emphasis remap='B'".)
* Added support for Segmentedlist.
Details: Output is tabular, with no option for "list" type output.
Output for Segtitle elements can be supressed by setting
man.segtitle.suppress. If Segtitle content is output, it is
rendered in italic type (not bold because not all terminals
support bold and so italic ensures the stand out on those
terminals). Extra space (.sp line) at end of table code ensures
that it gets handled correctly in the case where its source is the
child of a Para. Closes feature-request #1400097. Thanks to
Daniel Leidert for the patch and push, and to Alastair Rankine for
filing the original feature request.
* Improved handling or Author/Editor/Othercredit.
Reworked content of (non-visible) comment added at top of each
page (metadata stuff).
Added support for generating a manifest file (useful for cleaning
up after builds, etc.)
* Added two new parameters for handling of multi-term varlistentry
elements:
variablelist.term.break.after:
When the variablelist.term.break.after is non-zero, it will
generate a line break after each term multi-term varlistentry.
variablelist.term.separator:
When a varlistentry contains multiple term elements, the string
specified in the value of the variablelist.term.separator
parameter is placed after each term except the last. The default
is ", " (a comma followed by a space). To suppress rendering of
the separator, set the value of variablelist.term.separator to
the empty string ("").
These parameters are primarily intended to be useful if you have
multi-term varlistentries that have long terms.
Closes #1306676. Thanks to Sam Steingold for providing an example
"lots of long terms" doc that demonstrated the value of having
these options.
Also, added normalize-space() call to processing of each term.
This change affects all output formats (HTML, PDF, manpages). The
default behavior should pretty much remain the same as before, but
it is possible (as always) that the change may introduce some new
bugginess.
Params
The following changes have been made to the params code since the 1.69.1
release.
* New parameters to set header/footer table minimum height.
* Support multiple indexing methods for different languages.
* Remove qandaset and qandadiv from generate.toc for fo output
because formerly it wasn't working, but now it is and the
default behavior should stay the same.
* add support for page number references to link element too.
* Add support for more characters to hyphen on when ulink.hyphenate
is turned on.
* New attribute-set to format biblioentry and bibliomixed.
* Added new parameter chunk.tocs.and.lots.has.title which controls presence
of title in a separate chunk with ToC/LoT. Disabling title can be very
useful if you are generating frameset output (well, yes those frames, but
some customers really want them ;-).
* Added new attribute set toc.line.properties for controlling appearance of
lines in ToC/LoT
* Allow table footnotes to have different properties from regular footnotes.
* Set properties for pgwide="1" objects.
* Added the autotoc.label.in.hyperlink param.
If the value of autotoc.label.in.hyperlink is non-zero, labels are
included in hyperlinked titles in the TOC. If it is instead zero,
labels are still displayed prior to the hyperlinked titles, but
are not hyperlinked along with the titles.
Closes patch #1065868. Thanks to anatoly techtonik for the patch.
* Added two new params: html.head.legalnotice.link.types and
html.head.legalnotice.link.multiple.
If the value of the generate.legalnotice.link is non-zero, then
the stylesheet generates (in the head section of the HTML source)
either a single HTML link element or, if the value of the
html.head.legalnotice.link.multiple is non-zero, one link element
for each link type specified. Each link has the following
attributes:
- a rel attribute whose value is derived from the value of
html.head.legalnotice.link.types
- an href attribute whose value is set to the URL of the file
containing the legalnotice
- a title attribute whose value is set to the title of the
corresponding legalnotice (or a title programatically
determined by the stylesheet)
For example:
<link rel="copyright" href="ln-id2524073.html" title="Legal Notice">
Closes #1476450. Thanks to Sam Steingold.
* Added the following params:
- man.indent.width (string-valued)
- man.indent.refsect (boolean)
- man.indent.blurbs (boolean)
- man.indent.lists (boolean)
- man.indent.verbatims (boolean)
Note that in earlier snapshots, man.indent.width was named
man.indentation.default.value and the boolean params had names
like man.indentation.*.adjust. Also the man.indent.blurbs param
was called man.indentation.authors.adjust (or something).
The behavior now is: If the value of a particular man.indent.*
boolean param is non-zero, the corresponding contents (refsect*,
list items, authorblurb/personblurb, vervatims) are displayed with
a left margin indented by a width equal to the value of
man.indent.width.
* Added man.table.footnotes.divider param.
In each table that contains footenotes, the string specified by
the man.table.footnotes.divider parameter is output before the
list of footnotes for the table.
* Added the man.output.in.separate.dir, man.output.base.dir, and
man.output.subdirs.enabled parameters.
The man.output.base.dir parameter specifies the base directory
into which man-page files are output. The
man.output.subdirs.enabled parameter controls whether the files
are output in subdirectories within the base directory.
The values of the man.output.base.dir and
man.output.subdirs.enabled parameters are used only if the value
of man.output.in.separate.dir parameter is non-zero. If the value
of man.output.in.separate.dir is zero, man-page files are not
output in a separate directory.
* Added man.font.table.headings and man.font.table.title params,
for controlling font in table headings and titles.
* Added man.font.funcsynopsisinfo and man.font.funcprototype
params, for specifying the roff font (for example, BI, B, I) for
funcsynopsisinfo and funcprototype output.
* Changed to select="0" in refclass.suppress (instead of ..>0</..)
* Added man.segtitle.suppress param.
If the value of man.segtitle.suppress is non-zero, then display of
segtitle contents is suppressed in output.
* Added man.output.manifest.enabled and man.output.manifest.filename params.
If man.output.manifest.enabled is non-zero, a list of filenames
for man pages generated by the stylesheet transformation is
written to the file named by man.output.manifest.filename
* Added refclass.suppress param.
If the value of refclass.suppress is non-zero, then display
refclass contents is suppressed in output. Affects HTML and FO
output only.
* Added refentry.meta.get.quietly param.
If zero (the default), notes and warnings about "missing" markup
are generated during gathering of refentry metadata. If non-zero,
the metadata is gathered "quietly" -- that is, the notes and
warnings are suppressed.
NOTE: If you are processing a large amount of refentry content,
you may be able to speed up processing significantly by
setting a non-zero value for refentry.meta.get.quietly.
* Added support for "software" and "sectdesc" class values on
refmiscinfo; "software" is treated identically to "source", and
"setdesc" is treated identically to "manual".
* Drastically reworked all of the XPath expressions used in refentry
metadata gathering -- completely removed $parentinfo and turned
$info into a set of nodes that includes the *info contents of the
Refentry plus the *info contents all all of its ancestor
elements. The basic XPath expression now used throughout is (using
the example of checking for a date):
(($info[//date])[last()]/date)[1].
That selects the "last" *info/date date in document order -- that
is, the one eitther on the Refentry itself or on the closest
ancestor to the Refentry.
It's likely this change may break some things; may need to pick
up some pieces later.
Also, changed the default value for the man.th.extra2.max.length
from 40 to 30.
* Added option for turning off bold formatting in Funcsynopsis.
Boldface formatting in function synopsis is mandated in the man(7)
man page and is used almost universally in existing man pages.
Despite that, it really does look like crap to have an entire
Funcsynopsis output in bold, so I added params for turning off the
bold formatting and/or replacing it with a different roff special
font (e.g., "RI" for alternating roman/italic instead of the
default "BI" for alternating bold/italic). The new params are
"man.funcprototype.font" and "man.funcsynopsisinfo.font". To be
documented later.
Closes #1452247. Thanks to Joe Orton for the feature request.
* fop.extensions now only for FOP version 0.20.5 and earlier.
* Support for fop1 different from fop 0.20.5 and earlier.
* Reset default value to empty string so template
uses gentext first, then the parameter value if not empty.
* New parameter: id.warnings. If non-zero, warnings are generated for titled
objects that don't have titles. True by default; I wonder if this will be
too aggressive?
* Added new parameter keep.relative.image.uris
* Support default label width parameters for itemized and ordered lists
* Added parameters to localize punctuation in indexes.
* Added two new parameters for handling of multi-term varlistentry
elements:
variablelist.term.break.after:
When the variablelist.term.break.after is non-zero, it will
generate a line break after each term multi-term varlistentry.
variablelist.term.separator:
When a varlistentry contains multiple term elements, the string
specified in the value of the variablelist.term.separator
parameter is placed after each term except the last. The default
is ", " (a comma followed by a space). To suppress rendering of
the separator, set the value of variablelist.term.separator to
the empty string ("").
These parameters are primarily intended to be useful if you have
multi-term varlistentries that have long terms.
Closes #1306676. Thanks to Sam Steingold for providing an example
"lots of long terms" doc that demonstrated the value of having
these options.
Also, added normalize-space() call to processing of each term.
This change affects all output formats (HTML, PDF, manpages). The
default behavior should pretty much remain the same as before, but
it is possible (as always) that the change may introduce some new
bugginess.
* Convert 'no' to string in default value.
* Implemented RFE #1292615.
Added bunch of new parameters (attribute sets) that affect list
presentation: list.block.properties, itemizedlist.properties, orderedlist
.properties, itemizedlist.label.properties and orderedlist.label
.properties. Default behaviour of stylesheets has not been changed but
further customizations will be much more easier.
* Implemented RFE #1242092.
You can enable crop marks in your document by setting crop.marks=1 and
xep.extensions=1.
Appearance of crop marks can be controlled by parameters crop.mark.bleed
(6pt), crop.mark.offset (24pt) and crop.mark.width (0.5pt).
Also there is new named template called user-xep-pis. You can overwrite it
in order to produce some PIs that can control XEP as described in
http://www.renderx.com/reference.html#Output_Formats
* Changed short descriptions in doc for *autolabel* params to match
new autolabel behavior.
Profiling
The following changes have been made to the profiling code since the 1.69.1
release.
* Profiling now works together with namespace stripping (V5 documents).
Namespace striping should work with all stylesheets named profile-, even
if they are not supporting namespace stripping in a non-profiling variant.
* Moved profiling stage out of templates. This make possible to reuse
profiled content by several templates and still maintaing node indentity
(needed for example for HTML Help where content is processed multiple
times).
I don't know why this was not on the top level before. Maybe some XSLT
processors choked on it. I hope this will be OK now.
Tools
The following changes have been made to the tools code since the 1.69.1
release.
* Moved Makefile.DocBook from contrib module to xsl module.
WordML
The following changes have been made to the wordml code since the 1.69.1
release.
* added contrib element, better handling of default paragraph style
* added bridgehead
* added blocks stylesheet to support bibliographies, glossaries and
qandasets
* added mediaobject caption
* added callouts
* added Word template file
* added abstract, fixed itemizedlist, ulink
* fixed Makefile
added many features to Pages support
added revhistory, inlines, highlights, abstract
* fixed handling linebreaks when generating WordML
added Apple Pages support
