Re: [docbook-apps] Multiple languages in PDF?

Hi,

Thanks for your message and suggestion. I've emailed Bob directly, and will report back what I learn to make this work.

The issue might(?) be due to a difference between xsltproc and saxon, though this is speculation on my part.

Another, simpler point I'm stuck on: I need to select a different font for the Japanese index,Âi.e., I need to detect @type='ja' in the <index> element and switch fonts.Â

I tried this in my customization layer:

<xsl:template match="indexentry">
 <xsl:choose>
 Â<xsl:when test="contains(' ja ', parent::type)">
   <fo:inline font-family="'Zen Old Mincho'">
    <xsl:apply-templates/>
   </fo:inline>
 Â</xsl:when>
  <xsl:otherwise>
   <xsl:apply-templates/>
  </xsl:otherwise>
 </xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>

...but it seems to have no effect.

I have no idea if the system for generating an index actually outputs DocBook <indexentry> elements, or just directly outputs to FO.

Thanks again,

M.

Please ask Bob about to different indeces separated by type. IIRC that has not been functional in docbook although it looked functional. With some update I got working properly. Maybe you have to update something. I had the same problem 1 1/2 year ago: Index for scientific names and for german one. But it finally worked.

I donot remember what has changed therefore ask Bob Stayton direcly.

I have <indexterm> elements in my document, like this:

<indexterm type="en"><primary>Hypothesis</primary></indexterm>
<indexterm type="ja"><primary>äè</primary></indexterm>

And <index> elements at the end, like this:

<index type="en"><title>Index</title></index>
<index type="ja"><title>çå</title></index>
