Re: [docbook-apps] How to extract name of XML file

["Bob Stayton" <bobs@sagehill.net>]

Hi Dean,
The name of the input XML file is not available to an XSLT processor. 
After all, the input could be coming from a stream instead of a file.  The 
HTML stylesheet inserts the output filename in the TOC, not the input 
filename.

I think the simplest way to handle this is to add a stylesheet parameter 
named something like 'input.file' and set that on the same command line 
that processes your file.  Then you can use the parameter value in the 
stylesheet as needed.

That is similar to what I need, except that I do not want to have to
insert the filename into each file. I have A LOT of files and sections
and the filenames and what sections they Xinclude are still in flux.

However, just for fun I stuck the xml:base in and it extracted SOME of
the filenames. This is a start, but I wonder what happened to the other?
It looks like they disappeared when the second level sction was
encountered in a file.

I am assuming there is a way to do this, as the HTML stylesheets insert
the filename#id in the TOC. If I have to dig at them, then I must. But
compared to all of the XSL brains on this list, I am but a single celled
organism ;-)

I am SLOWLY learning all of the XSL stuff but I was hoping that I had
just missed a line in the documentation that said how to do this.

I am including the whole template here for better context.

In general, there is no function available in XSLT that can extract the
filename of the corresponding XML file. However, there are other
"tricks"
how you can solve your problem.

I hope I understood your problem, so please correct me if I am on a
complete wrong track. :)
I don't know which DocBook version do you use, but 4.3 and above
provides
the xml:base attribute. I use this occasionally to insert the XML
filename. I am not sure if this is the real intention but it works. :)

You could insert the xml:base in your DocBook file, for example:

  <sect1 xml:base="foo.xml" ...>

With XSLT you can extract this:

 <section ref="html/{@xml:base}#{@id}" title="{title}" >

However, you have to make sure that the xml:base attribute and the
filename always stay the same, otherwise it won't work.

It's just a crazy idea, I don't know if it is what you was searching
for.


Best wishes,
Tom
