Re: [docbook-apps] Line Numbering with DocBook Publisher

[Bob Stayton <bobs@sagehill.net>]

Hi Paul,
It is possible, but not currently implemented in the stylesheets, so it 
would take a customization.

In the current XSL release (1.79.1), the line element is output as a 
simple fo:block for PDF output (see fo/publishers.xsl).  That could be 
changed to a fo:list-block instead, using xsl:number to count lines for 
the list-item-label.

The linegroup element could complicate things.  It can contain a 
<speaker> element, so the linegroup element is already output as an 
fo:list-block with 20% of the width for the speaker element.  But nested 
fo:list-block is not a problem.
