Janice,

 

Try <xsl:choose/>.

Subject: [docbook-apps] Trouble formatting PDF TOC entries

 

I'm trying to update the formatting of a PDF TOC. I mostly want to add additional space above and bold the chapter entries.

 

I found the following sample for toc.line.properties in the DocBook XSL reference, and as a test added it to my FO stylesheet.

 

<xsl:attribute-set name="toc.line.properties">

  <xsl:attribute name="font-size">10pt</xsl:attribute>

  <xsl:attribute name="font-weight">

    <xsl:when test="self::chapter | self::preface | self::appendix">bold</xsl:when>

    <xsl:otherwise>normal</xsl:otherwise>

  </xsl:attribute>

</xsl:attribute-set>

According to the guide, this should make all entries 10pt and chapter entries bold.

 

However, when I try to generate the DocBook output using our maven docbkx tool, it doesn't generate at all, and I get an error indicating that a "when" element must always be enclosed by a "choose" element.

 

If I add the choose element, like:

<xsl:attribute-set name="toc.line.properties">

  <xsl:attribute name="font-size">10pt</xsl:attribute>

  <xsl:attribute name="font-weight">

   <choose>

    <xsl:when test="self::chapter | self::preface | self::appendix">bold</xsl:when>

    <xsl:otherwise>normal</xsl:otherwise>

   </choose>

  </xsl:attribute>

</xsl:attribute-set>

then the output generates, but there is no effect on the TOC formatting. The chapter entries aren't bold.

 

Any ideas on how to get this to work?

 

Thanks,

 

Janice
