RE: [docbook-apps] numbering of book parts

Thanks, Bob. The part.autolabel parameter works as you described. I had been trying to turn the part.autolabel on by doing this:

<xsl:param name="part.autolabel" select="1" />

When I should have been doing this:

<xsl:param name="part.autolabel" select="'I'"></xsl:param>

Once again, thanks for your help.

Regards,

Jeff Powanda

Hmm, it looks like the mode="division.number" has been obsoleted. It is defined, but never used by the stylesheets.

It is now implemented with parameters. The part.autolabel controls it, and its value can define the number format as well.

See:

http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/doc/fo/part.autolabel.html

If you are getting "1", then perhaps you set the parameter to that value to turn on part numbering?

I’d like to use uppercase roman numerals for part numbers, which should be the default, but instead DocBook is using arabic numerals. Is this a defect in the stylesheet? It looks like fo\division.xsl correctly specifies a roman numeral for part numbers, but it’s not working:

<xsl:template match="part" mode="division.number">

<xsl:number from="book" count="part" format="I."/>

</xsl:template>

Toolchain:

DocBook XSL 1.7.2.0

Saxon 6.5.3

FOP 0.93
