Re: [docbook-apps] Replace straight apostrophe with curly apostrophe

Hi,
The difference with xref is that the content is processed in a different mode.  Try 
adding this template to your customization layer:

<xsl:template match="d:para/text()|d:title/text()" mode="no.anchor.mode">
<xsl:value-of select="translate(.,$singlequote,$curlyquote)"/>
</xsl:template>

The 'no.anchor.mode' is used only for hot text, so that no nested links are created.

Let me know if this does not work.

Subject: [docbook-apps] Replace straight apostrophe with curly apostrophe


Hello list,

After a long discussion in XEP-support mailing list I still have a problem for 
replacing straight apostrophe with curly apostrophe.

I my custom stylesheet I've put:

<xsl:param name="singlequote">
<xsl:text>'</xsl:text>
</xsl:param>
<xsl:param name="curlyquote">
<xsl:text>’</xsl:text>
</xsl:param>

<xsl:template match="d:para//text()|d:title//text()">
<xsl:value-of select="translate(.,$singlequote,$curlyquote)"/>
</xsl:template>

With this configuration all the straight apostrophe are changed into curly apostrophe. 
But it's ok for me. I would like to keep straight apostrophe for <litteral>, 
<computeroutput> or <screen> tags.

During my tests I've change the stylesheet by (no more double slash):

<xsl:template match="d:para/text()|d:title/text()">
<xsl:value-of select="translate(.,$singlequote,$curlyquote)"/>
</xsl:template>

And it works well for text, title and screen (litteral and computer output too) but it 
failed on <xref>.

In fact I could have in my text something like that:

See <xref linkend="alice_home_dir">.

<figure xml:id="alice_home_dir">
<title>Alice's home directory</title>
....
</figure>

I suppose that because the <xref linkend> reside before the title. But in fact the 
replacement is not made in the figure's title too.

So for resuming how can I change the straight apostrophe into curly apostrophe every 
where except inside <computeroutput>, <litteral> and <screen> tags ?

Thanks in advance,
Jacques
