Re: [docbook-apps] manipulating chapter title page in html

["Bob Stayton" <bobs@sagehill.net>]

The titlepage system eventually calls the template named 'component.title' in html/component.xsl for all component-level elements like chapter, appendix, preface, etc.  That template applies templates in mode="object.title.markup", which uses a gentext template to generate the appropriate label.  So modifying the gentext for 'chapter' in context="title-numbered" should work.  The TOC and xrefs don't use that mode, so they should be unaffected. 

 

Or you could modify the 'component.title' template to use mode="title.markup" when the context is chapter.

hi Bob, 

Thanks for the fast response. I do understand (I think) how to change the gentext but I only want to change this particular instance of the text on the chapter title page, not the xrefs or any other place.

(this is to match a spec, not my own idea).

Can that be done? I haven't figured out where that template is.

thanks!

Hi Tim,
I'm not clear if you want to eliminate numbering of chapters, or just this numbering label in chapter titlepage output (leaving the number in the TOC and xrefs).  To eliminate chapter numbering entirely, you can set the stylesheet parameter 'chapter.autolabel' to zero.

If it is just the chapter titlepage, then it can be done by customizing the gentext rather than a template.  That's because "Chapter" is generated text that is different for each locale.  Something like this will generate just the title:

<xsl:param name="local.l10n.xml" select="document('')"/>
<l:i18n xmlns:l="http://docbook.sourceforge.net/xmlns/l10n/1.0">
 <l:l10n language="en">
   <l:context name="title-numbered">
     <l:template name="chapter" text="%t"/>
  </l:context>
 </l:l10n>
</l:i18n>

I just can't seem to find the right place to manage this. I want to remove the "Chapter 13." part of the title of this pattern:  "Chapter 13. My Chapter Title", which is generated in the main entrypoint (toc file).


I traced through user.head.content which stops just before the title, and found make.toc which seems to start just after the title.
My guess is that is comes from chapter.titlepage.recto.auto.mode which calls chapter.titlepage.recto.mode but then I get lost.


thanks for any pointer to the correct template!
