Hi Daniel,
This change is not supported with a param, so it
will require customizing a couple of templates.
Start with the template with match="d:book" in
fo/division.xsl. It calls the template named "make.book.tocs" before the
content is processed:
<xsl:call-template
name="make.book.tocs"/>
<xsl:apply-templates
select="$content"/>
The make.book.tocs template generates both the TOC
and the Lists of Everything, so you will also need to customize it. You
can divide it into two named templates, and call one before the content and
one after. Each one generates one or more page-sequences, so that should
work.

and creating a stylesheet for docbook using the XML Mind or Oxygen XML
Editor
Hey,
we finally managed to customize the PDF output. Some aspects
still seem a bit mysterious, but we´ve got it. Thanks for the hint Bob!
Nevertheless, we are not yet running out of
questions:
We are pretty much
finished customizing our stylesheet, but still have a problem moving the list
of figures and list of tables towards the appendix/ back of the document.. Our
Documents are structured into:
-
Frontpage
- Legal Notices
-Table of content
- Typographical conventions
- Preface
-Main
body
-Appendix ( shortcuts, glossary
etc.)
-List of figures
- List of tables
The problem is that we haven´t figured out yet how to shift
the list of tables and list of figures from the front of the document (
between frontpage and legal notices ) to the back of the document ( after the
appendix).
The Appendix including the
tables have a Heading TOC formatting ( A XYZ, B XYZ etc.)
We have used
<xsl:param name="generate.toc" >
appendix
title,figure
article title
book
toc,title
chapter title
part title
preface title
reference
title
sect1 title
sect2 title
sect3 title
sect4
title
sect5 title
section title
</xsl:param>
to specify the location of the tables,
but it didn´t work out. Can anyone give us a clue? Per default, the tables are
rendered into the front part of the document.
Thanks!
Daniel

I’m also a fan of
PrinceXML, which generates PDF from any structured content using fairly robust
CSS styles. I transform from DocBook to HTML (using the stylesheets) and from
HTML to PDF with Prince (CSS for styles). I’m very impressed with the
results.

Hi
Daniel,
CSS has progressed to the point
where it can format printed output, and I know of at least one product that
can use CSS to generate PDF output (Antenna House XSL Formatter http://www.antennahouse.com/product.htm). But most people use DocBook's XSL-FO output
(fo/docbook.xsl) and an XSL-FO processor such as FOP to generate PDFs from
DocBook content.
I believe someone pointed you to my online book
DocBook XSL: The Complete Guide at http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/index.html. I believe it has the information you need to
customize your PDF output. This link will get you started with parameter
setting:
http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/PrintOutput.html
and this one with titlepage customization:
http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/HTMLTitlePage.html
and this one will help with further customizations:

Hello,
sorry that it took so long, but I was
quite busy.
Thanks for all the response - it made things easier for us.
The customization process is getting along pretty well, but we still
have some questions regarding the PDF Output:
As said before, we
customized Docbook to match our requirements. We basically added a few
elements to the schema and blocked those we didn’t want. The font size etc. is
determined by an css style sheet.
One problem is, that most of our new
styles are not recognized if we output a document as a PDF. We already found
the param.xml and pagesetup.xsl file, but were not sure if it is necessary to
customize them as well. Did we go wrong using css instead of xsl as a
stylesheet? Oxygen handles both, but it seems like only xls is supported for
creating a PDF.
Another problem that we have is, that we can´t really
figure out how to influence the general page layout (header, footer, graphic
on the front page etc.). Is there any tutorial or something?
Finally,
at least for now, we are wondering how to insert text boxes in line with the
text, since in our current configuration text boxes are always inserted below
the paragraph.
Thanks for the help and sorry if some questions
might seem unnecessary. I´m not one of the XML guys in the company, but rather
one of those who write and translate.
Greetings,
Daniel

| [docbook-apps] Customizing and creating a
stylesheet for docbook using the XML Mind or Oxygen XML
Editor |
Hello,
currently my company is thinking about transferring its user
documentation into XML and docbook.
Since we are an IT company, XML and
programming in general is not a problem. But: We cannot find and adjust the
stylesheet needed to create our custom documentation.
We are currently
setting up a prototype for our documentation, following the instructions from
Walsh´s "DocBook 5: The definitive Guide" and working with the XML Mind Editor
and a trial version of "OXYGEN Editor".
Basically, we are satisfied
with the results and trust in docbooks function (since having lots of trouble
with Word), but the lacking transparency makes it really hard to come up with
a sample documentation/ prototype .Each file we open has at least one
reference to a website we cannot open and dozens of files that don´t exist or
are really hard to find. We checked the regular docbook.zip from the docbook
homepage, but also all files of the respective editors. (Is there
something as a "default" Docbook editor that you would propose?)
Can
anyone give me some advice, a link or even a how-to for adjusting the docbook
stylesheet? Personally, I would love to use docbook for our user
documentation, simply for the additional features it has compared to other
text processing program, but only if I can adjust the appearance. Especially
regarding corporate identity this is absolutely necessary.
Thanks and
with best regards,
D. Keyes
