RE: [docbook-apps] Outline numbering for HTML output

Thanks, Bob. That was helpful. Here’s the customized template I created:

 

       <!-- ==================================================================== -->

       <!--  Custom numbering of sections (adapted from common/labels.xsl).      -->

       <xsl:template match="d:section" mode="label.markup">

 

              <xsl:variable name="level">

                     <xsl:call-template name="section.level"/>

              </xsl:variable>

 

              <!-- does this section get labelled? -->

              <xsl:variable name="label">

                     <xsl:call-template name="label.this.section">

                           <xsl:with-param name="section" select="."/>

                     </xsl:call-template>

              </xsl:variable>

             

              <xsl:choose>

                     <xsl:when test="@label">

                           <xsl:value-of select="@label"/>

                     </xsl:when>

                     <xsl:when test="$label != 0">

                           <xsl:choose>

                                  <xsl:when test="$level = 1">

                                         <xsl:number format="I" count="d:section"/>

                                  </xsl:when>

                                  <xsl:when test="$level = 2">

                                         <xsl:number format="A" count="d:section"/>

                                  </xsl:when>

                                  <xsl:when test="$level = 3">

                                         <xsl:number format="1" count="d:section"/>

                                  </xsl:when>

                                  <xsl:otherwise>

                                         <!-- nop -->

                                  </xsl:otherwise>

                           </xsl:choose>

                          

                     </xsl:when>

              </xsl:choose>

       </xsl:template>

Hi Jeff,

This would require a customization of this template:

 

<xsl:template match="section" mode="label.markup">

 

from common/labels.xsl to take into account the section level.  You can use the existing utility template named "section.level" that returns an integer value for the section level.

 

If you customize that template, then those numbers will be used everywhere, including the TOC and xrefs.

Subject: [docbook-apps] Outline numbering for HTML output

 

I’m trying to output HTML release notes using outline numbering for sections, using the following hierarchy:

 

I (uppercase Roman numerals)

                A (uppercase letters)

                                1 (numerals)

                                                a (lowercase letters)

 

This doesn’t seem possible using section.autolabel property, which lets you specify only one label value. Is there a simple out-of-the-box way to do this? Or do I need to implement custom section numbering in my customization layer?
