Re: [docbook-apps] footnote numbering is suppressed

Title: Re: [docbook-apps] footnote numbering is suppressed

I found where it's going wrong, but why???

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<!DOCTYPE book PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.5//EN"
"http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.5/docbookx.dtd">
<book><title>A Book Title</title>
<chapter><title>A Chapter Title</title>

<para>some text in a para<footnote><para>this is a footnote</para></footnote> more text in a para</para>

</chapter>
</book>

Without any customization the footnote is numbered correctly, both in the text and below at the bottom of the page in the footnote.

When I add the following customization, the numbering is correct in the text, but disappears in the footnote itself.

<?xsl version="1.0" ?>
<xsl:stylesheet
      xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0"
      xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format" >
<xsl:import href="/Applications/Utilities/oxygen/8.1/oxygen/frameworks/docbook/xsl/fo/docbook.xsl" />
<xsl:template match="para">
  <fo:block xsl:use-attribute-sets="normal.para.spacing">
 <xsl:attribute name="font-size">
   <xsl:choose>
     <xsl:when test="@size = 'Less'">85%</xsl:when>
     <xsl:when test="@size = 'Small'">75%</xsl:when>
     <xsl:when test="@size = 'Smaller'">65%</xsl:when>
     <xsl:otherwise>100%</xsl:otherwise>
   </xsl:choose>
 </xsl:attribute>
 <xsl:attribute name="text-align">
   <xsl:choose>
     <xsl:when test="@role = 'Start'">start</xsl:when>
     <xsl:when test="@role = 'Center'">center</xsl:when>
     <xsl:otherwise>start</xsl:otherwise>
   </xsl:choose>
 </xsl:attribute>
    <xsl:call-template name="anchor"/>
    <xsl:apply-templates/>
  </fo:block>

</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

If I make the footnote a <simpara>, I get the same problem if the customization layer contains this which is a unchanged copy from the Docbook XSL stylesheet.

<xsl:template match="simpara">
  <fo:block xsl:use-attribute-sets="normal.para.spacing">
    <xsl:if test="@id">
      <xsl:attribute name="id"><xsl:value-of select="@id"/></xsl:attribute>
    </xsl:if>
    <xsl:apply-templates/>
  </fo:block>

</xsl:template>

Can anyone explain what I'm doing wrong, and what is going on.
