Re: [docbook-apps] Modifying line-height for table title

Bob,

Thanks - I added use-attribute sets to table.properties and that worked:

  <xsl:attribute-set name="table.properties"
    use-attribute-sets="formal.title.properties">

Hi Dave,

In order to make the titles of figures, tables, examples consistent in format, there is a separate attribute-set for them named 'formal.title.properties'.  See this reference for details:

 

http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/PrintTableStyles.html#TableTitle

 

jThat att-set does not actually set the line-height property, so I think the title is inheriting it from the root.properties attribute set, which sets its value to 'normal'.  Most FO processors interpret 'normal' as 1.2em.

Subject: [docbook-apps] Modifying line-height for table title

I have set a parameter for line-height (“graphiclineheight”= 1) that works for all text within formal objects - figure, example and the body of tables (i.e. text within table.table). This parameter though doesn’t modify the line-height for d:table/d:title. I looked at the FO output and it seems that d:table/d:title is picking up the line-height for body text, which is 1.2. I have experimented with adding a specific smaller line-height (0.8) within table.properties then the ‘graphiclineheight’ one within table.table.properties, but this only modifies the line height of footnotes which I know is modified by attributes within table.properties – but the table title inexplicably remains unchanged.

I’ve tried to find some relevant fo:block code within tables.xsl and formal.xsl, but I can’t see what else to modify.

Here are my customisations that incorporate line-height for tables:

 

In “tables.xsl”:
  <xsl:param name="tabletitlelineheight">0.8 </xsl:param>

  <xsl:attribute-set name="table.properties">
    <xsl:attribute name="keep-together.within-column">auto </xsl:attribute> <!-- allows tables to
      break ('auto') or not break ('always') across pages -->
    <xsl:attribute name="background-color"></xsl:attribute> <!-- specify
      web colour (e.g. #e0e0e0) *****works 28/9/11 -->
    <xsl:attribute name="hyphenate"> false </xsl:attribute> <!--hyphenation of text;
      default: false (do not hyphenate). OPTIONS: false, true-->
    <xsl:attribute name="text-align"> justify </xsl:attribute> <!--alignment of table
      title. OPTIONS: left, justify *****works 28/9/11-->
    <xsl:attribute name="margin-left"> 0pt </xsl:attribute> <!--indent from left
      margin*****works 28/9/11-->
    <xsl:attribute name="margin-right"> 0pt </xsl:attribute> <!--indent from right
      margin*****works 28/9/11-->
    <xsl:attribute name="margin-top"> 0pt </xsl:attribute> <!--top margin*****-->
    <xsl:attribute name="margin-bottom"> 10pt </xsl:attribute> <!--add leading
      after a table (including after footnotes), to adjust text on
      page*****works 28/9/11-->
    <!--padding inside table region*****works 20/9/11-->
    <xsl:attribute name="padding-left"> 0pt </xsl:attribute>
    <xsl:attribute name="padding-right"> 0pt </xsl:attribute>
    <xsl:attribute name="padding-top"> 0pt </xsl:attribute>
    <xsl:attribute name="padding-bottom"> 0pt </xsl:attribute>
    <xsl:attribute name="line-height">
      <xsl:value-of select="$tabletitlelineheight"/>
    </xsl:attribute>
  </xsl:attribute-set>

<xsl:attribute-set name= "table.table.properties">
    <xsl:attribute name="line-height">
      <xsl:value-of select="$graphiclineheight"/>
    </xsl:attribute>
    <xsl:attribute name="background-color"> #e0e0e0 </xsl:attribute> <!-- specify web colour
      (e.g. #e0e0e0) *****-->   
    <xsl:attribute name="font-size">
      <xsl:choose>
        <xsl:when test="ancestor-or-self::d:informaltable" >
          <xsl:value-of select="$body.font.master * 1"/> <xsl:text> pt </xsl:text>
          <!-- informal tables have same font size as body text -->
        </xsl:when>
        <xsl:otherwise>
          <xsl:value-of select="$body.font.master * 0.8"/> <xsl:text> pt </xsl:text> <!-- small font for all
            formal tables -->  
        </xsl:otherwise>
      </xsl:choose>
    </xsl:attribute>
    <xsl:attribute name="text-align"> left </xsl:attribute>
   
    <xsl:attribute name="border-after-width.conditionality" >retain </xsl:attribute> <!-- displays
      bottom border for a table that breaks across to the next page; options: discard [default], retain -->
    <xsl:attribute name= "border-before-width.conditionality">retain </xsl:attribute> <!-- displays
      top border for a table that breaks across from the previous page; options: discard [default], retain -->
    <xsl:attribute name="hyphenate"> false </xsl:attribute> <!-- hyphenation in
      tables; 'true' means turn on hyphenation -->
    <xsl:attribute name="border-collapse"> collapse </xsl:attribute> <!-- merge borders
      together for adjacent cells -->
  </xsl:attribute-set>

 

And in “graphics.xsl”:
  <xsl:param name="graphiclineheight">
    <xsl:choose>
      <xsl:when test = "$graphicfontstyle='sans-serif'">
         <xsl:value-of select="$line-height * 1"/>
      </xsl:when>
      <xsl:otherwise>
        <xsl:value-of select="$line-height"/>
      </xsl:otherwise>
    </xsl:choose>
  </xsl:param>

 

See attached for sample FO output.

Thanks,
 

Dave Gardiner
