R: [docbook] Attribute conditioning

[Matteo Regazzo <matteo.regazzo@cmz.it>]

Thank you Jirka,
it seems to be an accessible way, but I'm not too able on stylesheets customization. If you have some tip (which files and where make modifications), to let me start with the right direction...
Certainly in the next few days I will need you guys.

Maybe from now on this argument may be better related to the docbook-apps mailing list...? I will probably ask for help there.

Thanks to everyone,
Matteo


Questa mi sembra una strada percorribile, purtroppo non sono cosà abile nel personalizzare i fogli di stile. Se hai una qualche dritta (quali file e dove modificare) per iniziare nella giusta direzione. Sicuramente nei prossimi giorni avrà bisogno di voi.
Immagino che da questo punto diventi un argomento della mailing list docbook-apps, probabilmente chiederà aiuto in questâultima.

You would usually use profiling for this, but for handling attribute values it is not very practical as profiling condition is attached to a whole element not only to single attribute.

It would be better to use processing instruction for this, otherwise your document will not be valid DocBook, i.e.

<table>
    <?attr name="frame" value="all" outputformat="HTML"?>
    <?attr name="frame" value="none" outputformat="PDF"/>

With such markup it would be quite easy to modify profiling step in the stylesheets to add desired attributes to a parent element.
