Subject: R: [docbook-apps] R: [docbook-apps] R: [docbook-apps] footnote - nested tables


Well, you’re right… I am no more able to reproduce the duplicating letters… maybe I was tired J (in any case, if it has ever happened and it will happen again, I’ll write you).

Thank you very much for your support!

Ah, yes, you would need to specify the column count on the entrytbl.  There is no way to populate that from the XInclude.

Regarding the duplicate letters, that is not what I get when I test this.  I XInclude two different tables using this method into two different <entrytbl> elements in a table.  Each has two footnotes, and they are numbered a, b, c, d.  Can you post a short example of your XML?

The XInclude process occurs before the stylesheet sees the XML.  The stylesheet counts table footnotes inside <table> or <informaltable>.  Once the XIncludes are resolved, there is no inner table element, so they should number properly as in my test.

Great Bob, thank you very much, it works! J

 

While making some tests I’ve found 2 minor problems:

-          if I have to include more than one table in more than one <entrytbl> and I have a different footnote in each table, each footnote takes the same reference (e.g. letter “a”) so at the end of the main table I’ll found all notes with the same reference letter;

-          by including the <tgroup> I need to specify the number of the columns in the <entrytbl> tag (like <entrytbl cols=”3”>). If I don’t it reports me the error “CALS tables must specify the number of columns”. Is there a way to make it able to learn the column number by itself?

 

Thank you again,

Matteo R.

There is one other approach that might work if you are using xsltproc and the inserted informaltable is a CALS table. The entrytbl element has the same content model as tgroup (except entrytbl does not accept tfoot).  Since xsltproc's XInclude implementation supports some xpath syntax, you could try something like this, with the appropriate xpath:

<row>
  <entry>...</entry>
  <entrytbl><xi:include href="" xpointer="xpointer(/article/section[2]/informaltable[1]/tgroup/*"/></entrytbl>

This will include the content of the informaltable's tgroup into the entrytbl element.

If this works, you will get the footnote at the bottom of the main table, not the nested table, but at least it won't be duplicated.

If this doesn't suit you, then you'll need to create an XSL customization layer to customize some XSL templates to handle the footnote in the nested table.

Thank you Bob,

the <entrytbl> is of course the perfect solution,

but the truth is… I wasn’t be honest J

I hoped to find a simple trick in your first answer.

 

The real problem for me is that the nested table (the internal one) is obtained through a link.

 

The real code I’m using is like this

 

 

            <row>

                <entry><para> Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet </para></entry>

                <entry><para><xi:include href="">

                                            xpointer="ID_TAB_XXX" 

                                            xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude" />

                                </para>

                </entry>

            </row>

 

In this particular case, of course, it doesn’t accept me to insert the “include” in a <entrytbl>. So I think the only solution is to modify the .xsl files… do you agree? Or Do you think the are other solutions?

It is possible but it would not be simple.  The stylesheets were not designed to handle a table nested in a para in a table entry.  Normally CALS tables are nested with an entrytbl replacing entry, not a table element nested inside an entry element. In DocBook 5, your file will not validate as it would violate the Schematron rule that prevents putting informaltable inside entry.  It should be invalid in DocBook 4, but there is no way to express such an exclusion with DTD syntax.

The footnote machinery is already complicated by having to keep separate the table footnotes from the page footnotes.  So you would need to customize several templates that number and place footnote markers, as well as places where footnote paragraphs are rendered, to take into account nested table footnotes.  Those templates are in the footnotes.xsl and table.xsl stylesheet modules.

Hi everybody,

 

I’m facing a problem: I have a “table-in-a-table” and if I put a footnote in the text inside the inner table, it is reported twice: once out of the internal table and once out of the external one.

Is it possible to make it appear only under the internal table?

 

I hope my request is clear; I report my example and the result, to make it easier to understand.

 

Thank you in advance!
