Subject: Re: [docbook-apps] Formatting numbers in List of Figures


Using spaces for alignment is only accurate with a monospace font. You'll find that "10." will not line up with "20."  To get a true alignment, you would need to use an fo:table with two columns and text-align="end" in the first column, or an fo:list-block with text-align="end" in the fo:list-item-label. Each toc line can be in its own fo:list-block as long as the provisional-distance-between-starts property is consistent across them.  To get you started, there is an example of fo:list-block in my book:

Subject: [docbook-apps] Formatting numbers in List of Figures

Hello!

 

I use a figure list in my document, but there’s one small thing that annoys me. The alignment of the separator is wrong.

 

That’s how it looks right now:

8. Data access ........................................................................................................ 24

9. Overview of the front-end componenents and their dependencies ...................................... 25

10. The model-view-controller pattern of the default statistics module ................................... 27

 

That’s how it should look:

  8. Data access ........................................................................................................ 24

  9. Overview of the front-end componenents and their dependencies ...................................... 25

10. The model-view-controller pattern of the default statistics module ................................... 27

 

I customized the toc.line template like this(only the part where the number gets formatted)

 

<fo:basic-link internal-destination="{$id}">

<xsl:if test="$label != ''">

<xsl:if test="$label &lt; '10'">

<fo:inline color="#FFFFFF"><xsl:text>_</xsl:text></fo:inline>

                <xsl:copy-of select="$label"/>      

                <xsl:value-of select="$autotoc.label.separator"/>

          </xsl:if>

                 

          <xsl:if test="$label &gt; '9'">

               <xsl:copy-of select="$label"/>      

               <xsl:value-of select="$autotoc.label.separator"/>

          </xsl:if>

                 

     </xsl:if>

 

<xsl:apply-templates select="." mode="title.markup"/>

</fo:basic-link>

 

This works, but I’m sure there must be a better solution J.

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Mathias
