Subject: Re: [docbook-apps] customizing revhistory


Hi Sam,
A revhistory element can appear in *info elements for title pages as well 
as in ordinary content.  As such, it has more than one mode for processing. 
If this is for a titlepage, then you need to customize it in 
mode="titlepage.mode".  Take a look in html/titlepage.xsl for templates 
like these:

<xsl:template match="revhistory/revision" mode="titlepage.mode">

You can add the span there, or in the more specific templates called for 
each child element.

You can change the label text using the gentext mechanism, so it can be 
customized for all languages if needed:

<xsl:param name="local.l10n.xml" select="document('')"/>
<l:i18n xmlns:l="http://docbook.sourceforge.net/xmlns/l10n/1.0";>
  <l:l10n language="en">
   <l:gentext key="RevHistory" text="CLISP release history"/>
   <l:gentext key="revhistory" text="CLISP release history"/>
   <l:gentext key="Revision" text="Release"/>
   <l:gentext key="revision" text="Release"/>
  </l:l10n>
</l:i18n>

I can never remember whether the uppercase or lowercase key name is used, 
so I always just customize both to be sure.
