RE: [docbook-apps] Removing the trailing period in chapter/section labels

["Jeff Hooker" <Jeff_Hooker@pmc-sierra.com>]

Thanks Bob,

When you update the manual, mentioning that the trailing period in the *toc* is controlled independently by the autotoc.label.separator parameter might save some folks a little groping as well.

Or, it might be obvious to people who get more sleep than I do.

Cheers,
Jeff.

The last period comes from the generated text templates in common/en.xml:

<l:template name="section" text="%n. %t"/>

(non-breaking space replaced by ordinary space for clarity here).

So you'll need to add a 'local.l10n.xml' parameter to your customization 
layer and include a customized gentext for this bit.  I'll add this info to 
the "Label punctuation" section of my book in the next edition.

Hi folks,

This one is embarrassing, but I've pored over the scripts for hours and I 
still can't figure out how to dump the trailing period used in label 
numbers. Basically, the Docbook scripts give me "1.2.3.4. Title" and I need 
"1.2.3.4 Title".

I know. This should be simple, and likely is. I just can't find it in the 
scripts or in the docs. I've found intralabel.punctuation template, but I 
need the template that inserts the punctuation for the *current* node, not 
the parents of the current node.

Cheers,
Jeff.
