Thanks Bob - works perfectly.
I had to declare my custom PI names as strings when calling the
dbfo-attribute template, so there are extra quote marks around each
name in the following line:
<xsl:with-param name="attribute" select="'bgposition'"/>

Yes, you can use names in the PIs that differ from the
output attribute names. In fact, there is no automatic
passthrough. The information inside a dbfo PI is actually
pseudo-attributes. They look like attributes, but they are just
text strings organized in a way that can assign a value to a name.
The PI processing templates parse them as strings to extract a
value assigned to a given pseudo-attribute name. Then some
template has to generate an actual <xsl:attribute> to assign
the value to an output attribute name, which is independent of the
pseudo-attribute name. So your example could be:
A PI in the source file:
<?dbfo bgimage="myfile.jpg"?>
Extracting the value:
<xsl:variable name="bgroundimage">
<xsl:call-template name="dbfo-attribute">
<xsl:with-param name="pis"
select="ancestor-or-self::d:abstract/processing-instruction('dbfo')"/>
<xsl:with-param name="attribute" select="bgimage"/>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:variable name="backgroundimg">
<xsl:value-of select="concat('url(', $bgroundimage, ')')"/>
</xsl:variable>
and further down, using the value for an output attribute:
<xsl:attribute name="background-image">
<xsl:value-of select="$backgroundimg"/>
</xsl:attribute>

Subject: [docbook-apps] Renaming processing instructions
I have managed to (mostly) achieve the PIs I need, but I'd like to
know if it's possible to rename PIs to shorten the amount of text.
In the XML I have:
<abstract>
<?dbfo background-image="images/Box5-4.gif"
background-position="0% 30%"
ex:background-content-width="60mm"?>
<title>Chapter 1 overview</title>
...
My customization so far needs to use those long names
("background-image", etc.). Can I somehow rename these to, say,
"bgimage" instead of "background-image"?
My customization is:
<xsl:template match="d:abstract"
mode="chapter.titlepage.recto.auto.mode">
<xsl:variable name="bgroundimage">
<xsl:call-template name="dbfo-attribute">
<xsl:with-param name="pis"
select="ancestor-or-self::d:abstract/processing-instruction('dbfo')"/>
<xsl:with-param name="attribute"
select="'background-image'"/>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:variable name="backgroundimg">
<xsl:value-of select="concat('url(', $bgroundimage,
')')"/>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:variable name="bgroundwidth">
<xsl:call-template name="dbfo-attribute">
<xsl:with-param name="pis"
select="ancestor-or-self::d:abstract/processing-instruction('dbfo')"/>
<xsl:with-param name="attribute"
select="'ex:background-content-width'"/>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:variable name="bgroundposition">
<xsl:call-template name="dbfo-attribute">
<xsl:with-param name="pis"
select="ancestor-or-self::d:abstract/processing-instruction('dbfo')"/>
<xsl:with-param name="attribute"
select="'background-position'"/>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:variable>
<fo:block xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format"
xmlns:ex="http://www.renderx.com/XSL/Extensions"
xsl:use-attribute-sets="chapsummaryprops">
<xsl:if test="processing-instruction()">
<xsl:attribute name="background-image">
<xsl:value-of select="$backgroundimg"/>
</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="ex:background-content-width">
<xsl:value-of select="$bgroundwidth"/>
</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="background-position">
<xsl:value-of select="$bgroundposition"/>
</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:if>
<xsl:apply-templates select="d:title" />
<xsl:apply-templates select="d:para" />
</fo:block>
</xsl:template>
Thanks,

I'm trying to create a custom processing instruction to insert and
format a background image in a chapter abstract. I've followed the
instructions in Chapter 9 of DocBook XSL TDG but am getting error
messages about empty parameters.
The XML is:
<abstract>
<?dbfo bgimage="images/Box5-4.gif"?>
<?dbfo bgposition="50% 30%"?>
<?dbfo bgwidth="170mm"?>
<title>Chapter 1 overview</title>
<para>The text in . </para>
</abstract>
</info>
(I'd like to combine all three params into one pi if possible.)
I've set up variables for background-image, content-width and
position:
<xsl:template match="d:abstract"
mode="chapter.titlepage.recto.auto.mode">
<xsl:variable name="bgimage">
<xsl:call-template name="dbfo-attribute">
<xsl:with-param name="pis"
select="ancestor-or-self::d:abstract/processing-instruction('dbfo')"/>
<xsl:with-param name="attribute"
select="'background-image'"/>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:variable name="bgwidth">
<xsl:call-template name="dbfo-attribute">
<xsl:with-param name="pis"
select="ancestor-or-self::d:abstract/processing-instruction('dbfo')"/>
<xsl:with-param name="attribute"
select="'ex:background-content-width'"/>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:variable name="bgposition">
<xsl:call-template name="dbfo-attribute">
<xsl:with-param name="pis"
select="ancestor-or-self::d:abstract/processing-instruction('dbfo')"/>
<xsl:with-param name="attribute"
select="'background-position'"/>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:variable>
<fo:block xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format"
xmlns:ex="http://www.renderx.com/XSL/Extensions"
xsl:use-attribute-sets="chapsummaryprops"
background-image="{$bgimage}"
ex:background-content-width="{$bgwidth}"
background-position="{$bgposition}">
<xsl:apply-templates select="d:title" />
<xsl:apply-templates select="d:para" />
<!--<xsl:apply-templates select="."
mode="chapter.titlepage.recto.mode"/>-->
</fo:block>
</xsl:template>
And when I process it with Saxon 6.5.5 the error messages are:
[warning] Attribute 'background-image' cannot have a value of "":
should be either 'inherit' or a URI: background-image="url(...)".
[error] Attribute 'rx:background-content-width' cannot have a
value of "".
I'm using DB 1.77.1, XEP 4.19.
Thanks
