Re: [docbook-apps] <programlisting linenumbering="numbered"> does not number...

Hi,

 

I was going by this reference as to requirements, and have not read the whole book (thus I did not yet see the Java requirement):

http://tdg.docbook.org/tdg/5.1/programlisting.html

 

Admittedly I'm trying to do something quicker than I should and not reading everything (I've been through a lot of material, but it's just a drop in the bucket for everything needed when I really just need to sit down and write content). I've had some frustrations getting the Java-based processors working and have tried to stick to the xmllint/jing/xsltproc family for that single reason. The Java-based processing answer likely also answers my earlier syntax highlighting question about whether to abandon my current approach with xmllint.

 

To use Saxon or Xalan I would have to change the current build scheme, which I've never succeeded at:

xmllint --output "${OBJ}/${TITLE}_monolithic.xml" --nonet --noent -xinclude "${CONTENT}/${TITLE}.xml"

xsltproc --output ${OBJ}/${TITLE}_monolithic.fo ${XSLT}/docbook.xsl ${OBJ}/${TITLE}_monolithic.xml

fop -c ${PREFIX}/fop.xconf -fo ${OBJ}/${TITLE}_monolithic.fo -pdf ${OUT}/${TITLE}.pdf

 

I realize I'm probably asking a lot, but is there any advice I can get on editing that chain of commands to instead work with Saxon or Xalan? Getting past the tools on the command line (for a hand written Makefile) is just getting frustrating and is why the current chain of commands have never evolved to anything Java-based.

 

I do plan on reading more (I'm not resisting reading), but there are other requirements which tend to require at least a draft to be available sooner rather than later.

 

Thanks!

Hi,
Did you read this section in my online book about line numbering? It
only works with Java-based processors.
