This document provides an (incomplete) per-release list of enhancements and changes to the stylesheets public APIs (user-configurable parameters) and generally excludes descriptions of bug fixes. For a complete list of all changes (including all bug fixes) that have been made since the previous release, see the separate NEWS (plain text) or NEWS.html files. Release: 1.72.0 This release includes important bug fixes and adds the following significant feature changes: Automatic sorting of glossary entries The HTML and FO stylesheets now support automatic sorting of glossary entries. To enable glossary sorting, set the value of the glossary.sort parameter to 1 (by default, its value is 0). When you enable glossary sorting, glossentry elements within a glossary, glossdiv, or glosslist are sorted on the glossterm, using the current language setting. If you dont enable glossary sorting, then the order of glossentry elements is left as is that is, they are not sorted but are instead just displayed in document order. WordML renamed to Roundtrip, OpenOffice support added Stylesheets for roundtrip conversion between documents in OpenOffice format (ODF) and DocBook XML have been added to the set of stylesheets that formerly had the collective title WordML, and that set of stylesheets has been renamed to Roundtrip to better reflect the actual scope and purpose of its contents. So the DocBook XSL Stylesheets now support roundtrip conversion (with certain limitations) of WordML, OpenOffice, and Apple Pages documents to and from DocBook XML. Including QandASet questions in TOCs The HTML stylesheet now provides support for including QandASet questions in the document TOC. To enable display of questions in the document TOC, set the value of the qanda.in.toc to 1 (by default, its 0). When you enable qanda.in.toc, then the generated table of contents for a document will include qandaset titles, qandadiv titles, and question elements. The default value of zero excludes them from the TOC. Note The qanda.in.toc parameter does not affect any tables of contents that may be generated within a qandaset or qandadiv (only in the document TOC). Language identifier in man-page filenames and pathnames Added new parameter man.output.lang.in.name.enabled, which controls whether a language identifier is included in man-page filenames and pathnames. It works like this: If the value of man.output.lang.in.name.enabled is non-zero, man-page files are output with a language identifier included in their filenames or pathnames as follows: * if man.output.subdirs.enabled is non-zero, each file is output to, e.g., a /$lang/man8/foo.8 pathname * if man.output.subdirs.enabled is zero, each file is output with a foo.$lang.8 filename index.page.number.properties property set For FO output, use the index.page.number.properties to control formatting of page numbers in index output to (for example) to display page numbers in index output in a different color (to indicate that they are links). Crop marks in output from Antenna House XSL Formatter Support has been added for generating crop marks in print/PDF output generated using Antenna House XSL Formatter More string-substitution hooks in manpages output The man.string.subst.map.local.pre and man.string.subst.map.local.post parameters have been added to enable easier control over custom string substitutions. Moved verbatim properties to attribute-set The hardcoded properties used in verbatim elements (literallayout, programlisting, screen) were moved to the verbatim.properties attribute-set so they can be more easily customized. enhanced simple.xlink template Now the simple.xlink template in inline.xsl works with cross reference elements xref and link as well. Also, more elements call simple.xlink, which enables DB5 xlink functionality. DocBook 5 compatibility Stylesheets now consistently support DocBook 5 attributes (such as xml:id). Also, DocBook 5 info elements are now checked along with other *info elements, and the use of name() function was replaced by local-name() so it also matches on DocBook 5 elements. These changes enable reusing the stylesheets with DocBook 5 documents with minimal fixup. HTML class attributes now handled in class.attribute mode The HTML class attributes were formerly hardcoded to the element name. Now the class attribute is generated by applying templates in class.attribute mode so class attribute names can be customized. The default is still the element name. arabic-indic numbering enabled in autolabels Numbering of chapter, sections, and pages can now use arabic-indic numbering when number format is set to 'arabicindic' or to . The following is a detailed list of changes (not including bug fixes) that have been made since the 1.71.1 release. Common The following changes have been made to the common code since the 1.71.1 release. * Add support for arabicindic numbering to autolabel.format template. * Finish support for @xml:id everywhere @id is used. * replace name() with local-name() in most cases. * Add support for info. * Add utility template tabstyle to return the tabstyle from any table element. FO The following changes have been made to the fo code since the 1.71.1 release. * Add support for sorting glossary entries * Add table.row.properties template to customize table rows. * Moved all properties to attribute-sets so can be customized more easily. * Add index.page.number.properties attribute-set to format page numbers. * xref now supports xlink:href, using simple.xlink template. * Rewrote simple.xlink, and call it with all charseq templates. * Add simple.xlink processing to term and member elements. * Add support for crop marks in Antenna House. HTML The following changes have been made to the html code since the 1.71.1 release. * Add support for sorting glossary entries * Add support for qanda.in.toc to add qandaentry questions to document TOC. * add simple.xlink support to variablelist term and simplelist member. * *.propagates.style now handled in class.attribute mode. * add class parameter to class.attribute mode to set default class. * Convert all class attributes to use the class.attribute mode so class names can be customized more easily. * Add class.attribute mode to generate class attributes. * Added simple.xlink to most remaining inlines. Changed class attributes to applying class.attributes mode. * Changed xref template to use simple.xlink tempalte. * Improve generate.html.title to work with link targets too. * Improved simple.xlink to support link and xref. * Use new link.title.attribute now. * Rewrote simple.xlink to handle linkend also. Better computation of title attribute on link too. * Handle Xalan quirk as special case. * Add support for info. * Fixed imagemaps so they work properly going from calspair coords to HTML area coords. Manpages The following changes have been made to the manpages code since the 1.71.1 release. * Added doc for man.output.lang.in.name.enabled parameter. This checkin completes support for writing file/pathnames for man-pages with $lang include in the names. Closes #1585967. knightly accolades to Daniel Leidert for providing the feature request. * Added new param man.output.lang.in.name.enabled, which controls whether $LANG value is included in manpages filenames and pathnames. It works like this: If the value of man.output.lang.in.name.enabled is non-zero, man-page files are output with the $lang value included in their filenames or pathnames as follows; - if man.output.subdirs.enabled is non-zero, each file is output to, e.g., a /$lang/man8/foo.8 pathname - if man.output.subdirs.enabled is zero, each file is output with a foo.$lang.8 filename * Use "\e" instead of "\\" for backslash output, because the groff docs say that's the correct thing to do; also because testing (thanks, Paul Dubois) shows that "\\" doesn't always work as expected; for example, "\\" within a table seems to mess things up. * Added the man.string.subst.map.local.pre and man.string.subst.map.local.post parameters. Those parameters enable local additions and changes to string-substitution mappings without the need to change the value of man.string.subst.map parameter (which is for standard system mappings). Closes #1456738. Thanks to Sam Steingold for constructing a true stylesheet torture test (the clisp docs) that exposed the need for these params. * Added the Markup element to the list of elements that get output in bold. Thanks to Eric S. Raymond. * Replaced all dots in roff requests with U+2302 ("house" character), and added escaping in output for all instances of dot that are not in roff requests. This fixes the problem case where a string beginning with a dot (for example, the string ".bashrc") might occur at the beginning of a line in output, in which case would mistakenly get interpreted as a roff request. Thanks to Eric S. Raymond for pushing to fix this. * Made change to ensure that list content nested in itemizedlist and orderedlist instances is properly indented. This is a switch from using .TP to format those lists to using .RS/.RE to format them instead (because .TP does not allow nesting). Closes bug #1602616. Thanks to Daniel Leidert. Params The following changes have been made to the params code since the 1.71.1 release. * Added doc for man.output.lang.in.name.enabled parameter. This checkin completes support for writing file/pathnames for man-pages with $lang include in the names. Closes #1585967. knightly accolades to Daniel Leidert for providing the feature request. * Added new param man.output.lang.in.name.enabled, which controls whether $LANG value is included in manpages filenames and pathnames. It works like this: If the value of man.output.lang.in.name.enabled is non-zero, man-page files are output with the $lang value included in their filenames or pathnames as follows; - if man.output.subdirs.enabled is non-zero, each file is output to, e.g., a /$lang/man8/foo.8 pathname - if man.output.subdirs.enabled is zero, each file is output with a foo.$lang.8 filename * Added the man.string.subst.map.local.pre and man.string.subst.map.local.post parameters. Those parameters enable local additions and changes to string-substitution mappings without the need to change the value of man.string.subst.map parameter (which is for standard system mappings). Closes #1456738. Thanks to Sam Steingold for constructing a true stylesheet torture test (the clisp docs) that exposed the need for these params. * Add index.page.number.properties by default. * Added index.page.number.properties to allow customizations of page numbers in indexes. * Move show-destination="replace" property from template to attribute-set so it can be customized. * Add support for sorting glossary entries * Add option to include qanda in tables of contents. * Moved all properties to attribute-sets so can be customized more easily. Template The following changes have been made to the template code since the 1.71.1 release. * Added workaround for Xalan bug: use for-each and copy instead of copy-of (#1604770). Roundtrip The following changes have been made to the roundtrip code since the 1.71.1 release. * rename to roundtrip, add OpenOffice support Release: 1.71.1 This is a minor update to the 1.71.0 release. Along with a number of bug fixes, it includes two feature changes: * Added support for profiling based on xml:lang and status attributes. * Added initial support in manpages output for footnote, annotation, and alt instances. Basically, they all now get handled the same way ulink instances are. They are treated as a class as "note sources": A numbered marker is generated at the place in the main text flow where they occur, then their contents are displayed in an endnotes section at the end of the man page. Common The following changes have been made to the common code since the 1.71.1 release. * For backward compatability autoidx-ng.xsl is invoking "kosek" indexing method again. * Add support for Xalan generating a root xml:base like saxon. FO The following changes have been made to the fo code since the 1.71.1 release. * For backward compatability autoidx-ng.xsl is invoking "kosek" indexing method again. * Add support for Xalan to add root node xml:base for db5 docs. * Added support for profiling based on xml:lang and status attributes. HTML The following changes have been made to the html code since the 1.71.1 release. * For backward compatability autoidx-ng.xsl is invoking "kosek" indexing method again. * Add support for Xalan to add root node xml:base for db5 docs. * Added support for profiling based on xml:lang and status attributes. * Made changes in namespace declarations to prevent xmllint's canonicalizer from treating them as relative namespace URIs. - Changed xmlns:k="java:com.isogen.saxoni18n.Saxoni18nService" to xmlns:k="http://www.isogen.com/functions/com.isogen.saxoni18n.Saxoni18nService"; Saxon accepts either form (see http://www.saxonica.com/documentation/extensibility/functions.html); to Saxon, "the part of the URI before the final '/' is immaterial". - Changed, e.g. xmlns:xverb="com.nwalsh.xalan.Verbatim" to xmlns:xverb="xalan://com.nwalsh.xalan.Verbatim"; Xalan accepts either form (see http://xml.apache.org/xalan-j/extensions.html#java-namespace-declare); just as Saxon does, it will "simply use the string to the right of the rightmost forward slash as the Java class name". - Changed xmlns:xalanredirect="org.apache.xalan.xslt.extensions.Redirect" to xmlns:redirect="http://xml.apache.org/xalan/redirect", and adjusted associated code to make the current Xalan redirect spec. (see http://xml.apache.org/xalan-j/apidocs/org/apache/xalan/lib/Redirect.html) * Added the html.append and chunk.append parameters. By default, the value of both is empty; but the internal DocBook XSL stylesheets build sets their value to " ", in order to ensure that all files in the docbook-xsl-doc package end in a newline character. (Because diff and some other tools may emit error messages and/or not behave as expected when processing files that are not newline-terminated.) Highlighting The following changes have been made to the highlighting code since the 1.71.1 release. * Added license information Manpages The following changes have been made to the manpages code since the 1.71.1 release. * Added initial support in manpages output for footnote, annotation, and alt instances. Basically, they all now get handled the same way ulink instances are. They are treated as a class as "note sources": A numbered marker is generated at the place in the main text flow where they occur, then their contents are displayed in an endnotes section at the end of the man page (currently titled REFERENCES, for English output, but will be changed to NOTES). This support is not yet complete. It works for most "normal" cases, but probably mishandles a good number of cases. More testing will be needed to expose the problems. It may well also introduce some bugs and regressions in other areas, including basic paragraph handling, handling of "mixed block" content, handling of other indented content, and handling of authorblurb and personblurb in the AUTHORS section. Params The following changes have been made to the params code since the 1.71.1 release. * Added support for profiling based on xml:lang and status attributes. * Added the html.append and chunk.append parameters. By default, the value of both is empty; but the internal DocBook XSL stylesheets build sets their value to " ", in order to ensure that all files in the docbook-xsl-doc package end in a newline character. (Because diff and some other tools may emit error messages and/or not behave as expected when processing files that are not newline-terminated.) Profiling The following changes have been made to the profiling code since the 1.71.1 release. * Added support for profiling based on xml:lang and status attributes. Release: 1.71.0 This is mainly a bug fix release, but it also includes two significant feature changes: Highlighting support added The stylesheets now include support for source-code highlighting in output of programlisting instances (controlled through the highlight.source parameter). The Java-based implementation requires Saxon and makes use of Michal Molhanecs XSLTHL. More details are available at Jirka Koseks website: http://xmlguru.cz/2006/07/docbook-syntax-highlighting The support is currently limited to highlighting of XML, Java, PHP, Delphi, Modula-2 sources, and INI files. Changes to autoindexing The templates that handle alternative indexing methods were reworked to avoid errors produced by certain processors not being able to tolerate the presence of unused functions. With this release, none of the code for the 'kimber' or 'kosek' methods is included in the default stylesheets. In order to use one of those methods, your customization layer must import one of the optional stylesheet modules: * html/autoidx-kosek.xsl * html/autoidx-kimber.xsl * fo/autoidx-kosek.xsl * fo/autoidx-kimber.xsl See the index.method parameter reference page for more information. Two other changes to note: * The default indexing method now can handle accented characters in latin-based alphabets, not just English. This means accented latin letters will group and sort with their unaccented counterpart. * The default value for the index.method parameter was changed from 'english' to 'basic' because now the default method can handle latin-based alphabets, not just English. The following is a list of changes that have been made since the 1.70.1 release. Common The following changes have been made to the common code since the 1.70.1 release. * Added reference.autolabel parameter for controlling labels on reference output. * Support rows that are *completely* overlapped by the preceding row * New modules for supporting indexing extensions. * Support startinglinenumber on orderedlist Extensions The following changes have been made to the extensions code since the 1.70.1 release. * Completely reworked extensions build system; now uses NetBeans and ant FO The following changes have been made to the fo code since the 1.70.1 release. * xsl:sort lang attribute now uses two-char substring of lang attribute. * Support titlecase "Java", "Perl", and "IDL" as values for the language attribute on classsynopsis, etc. (instead of just lowercase "java", "perl", and "idl"). Also support "c++" and "C++" (instead of just "cpp"). Affects HTML, FO, and manpages output. Closes bug 1552332. Thanks to "Brian A. Vanderburg II". * Added support for the reference.autolabel param in (X)HTML and FO output. * Support rows that are *completely* overlapped by the preceding row * Rearranged templates for the 3 indexing methods and changed method named 'english' to 'basic'. * New modules for supporting indexing extensions. * Turn off blank-body for fop1.extensions too since fop 0.92 does not support it either. * Add Xalan variant to test for exslt:node-set function. Xalan can use function named node-set(), but doesn't recognize it using function-available(). * Added support to FO stylesheets for handling instances of Org where it occurs outside of *info content. In HTML stylesheets, moved handling of Org out of info.xsl and into inline.xsl. In both FO and HTML stylesheets, added support for correctly processing Affiliation and Jobtitle. * Don't output punctuation between Refname and Refpurpose if Refpurpose is empty. Also corrected handling of Refsect2/title instances, and removed some debugging stuff that was generated in manpages output to mark the ends of sections. * Added new email.delimiters.enabled param. If non-zero (the default), delimiters are generated around e-mail addresses (output of the email element). If zero, the delimiters are suppressed. * Initial support of syntax highlighting of programlistings. * Chapter after preface should restart numbering of pages. HTML The following changes have been made to the html code since the 1.70.1 release. * xsl:sort lang attribute now uses two-char substring of lang attribute. * Support titlecase "Java", "Perl", and "IDL" as values for the language attribute on classsynopsis, etc. (instead of just lowercase "java", "perl", and "idl"). Also support "c++" and "C++" (instead of just "cpp"). Affects HTML, FO, and manpages output. Closes bug 1552332. Thanks to "Brian A. Vanderburg II". * Added support for the reference.autolabel param in (X)HTML and FO output. * Support rows that are *completely* overlapped by the preceding row * Rearranged templates for the 3 indexing methods and changed method named 'english' to 'basic'. * New modules for supporting indexing extensions. * Added several new HTML parameters for controlling appearance of content on HTML title pages: contrib.inline.enabled: If non-zero (the default), output of the contrib element is displayed as inline content rather than as block content. othercredit.like.author.enabled: If non-zero, output of the othercredit element on titlepages is displayed in the same style as author and editor output. If zero (the default), othercredit output is displayed using a style different than that of author and editor. blurb.on.titlepage.enabled: If non-zero, output from authorblurb and personblurb elements is displayed on title pages. If zero (the default), output from those elements is suppressed on title pages (unless you are using a titlepage customization that causes them to be included). editedby.enabled If non-zero (the default), a localized Edited by heading is displayed above editor names in output of the editor element. * Add Xalan variant to test for exslt:node-set function. Xalan can use function named node-set(), but doesn't recognize it using function-available(). * Added support to FO stylesheets for handling instances of Org where it occurs outside of *info content. In HTML stylesheets, moved handling of Org out of info.xsl and into inline.xsl. In both FO and HTML stylesheets, added support for correctly processing Affiliation and Jobtitle. * Don't output punctuation between Refname and Refpurpose if Refpurpose is empty. Also corrected handling of Refsect2/title instances, and removed some debugging stuff that was generated in manpages output to mark the ends of sections. * Added new email.delimiters.enabled param. If non-zero (the default), delimiters are generated around e-mail addresses (output of the email element). If zero, the delimiters are suppressed. * Added qanda.nested.in.toc param. Default value is zero. If non-zero, instances of "nested" Qandaentry (ones that are children of Answer elements) are displayed in the TOC. Closes patch 1509018 (from Daniel Leidert). Currently on affects HTML output (no patch for FO output provided). * Improved handling of relative locations generated files * Initial support of syntax highlighting of programlistings. * Support org * Support person * Support $keep.relative.image.uris also when chunking Highlighting The following changes have been made to the highlighting code since the 1.70.1 release. * Initial support of syntax highlighting of programlistings. Manpages The following changes have been made to the manpages code since the 1.70.1 release. * Suppress footnote markers and output warning that footnotes are not yet supported. * Handle instances of address/otheraddr/ulink in author et al in the same way as email instances; that is, display them on the same linke as the author, editor, etc., name. * Don't number or link-list any Ulink instance whose string value is identical to the value of its url attribute. Just display it inline. * Don't output punctuation between Refname and Refpurpose if Refpurpose is empty. Also corrected handling of Refsect2/title instances, and removed some debugging stuff that was generated in manpages output to mark the ends of sections. * Added new email.delimiters.enabled param. If non-zero (the default), delimiters are generated around e-mail addresses (output of the email element). If zero, the delimiters are suppressed. * In manpages output, if the last/nearest *info element for particular Refentry has multiple Copyright and/or Legalnotice children, process them all (not just the first ones). Closes bug 1524576. Thanks to Sam Steingold for the report and to Daniel Leidert for providing a patch. Params The following changes have been made to the params code since the 1.70.1 release. * Added reference.autolabel parameter for controlling labels on reference output. * Added namespace declarations to document elements for all param files. * Updated index.method doc to describe revised setup for importing index extensions. * Added several new HTML parameters for controlling appearance of content on HTML title pages: contrib.inline.enabled: If non-zero (the default), output of the contrib element is displayed as inline content rather than as block content. othercredit.like.author.enabled: If non-zero, output of the othercredit element on titlepages is displayed in the same style as author and editor output. If zero (the default), othercredit output is displayed using a style different than that of author and editor. blurb.on.titlepage.enabled: If non-zero, output from authorblurb and personblurb elements is displayed on title pages. If zero (the default), output from those elements is suppressed on title pages (unless you are using a titlepage customization that causes them to be included). editedby.enabled If non-zero (the default), a localized Edited by heading is displayed above editor names in output of the editor element. * Added new email.delimiters.enabled param. If non-zero (the default), delimiters are generated around e-mail addresses (output of the email element). If zero, the delimiters are suppressed. * Added qanda.nested.in.toc param. Default value is zero. If non-zero, instances of "nested" Qandaentry (ones that are children of Answer elements) are displayed in the TOC. Closes patch 1509018 (from Daniel Leidert). Currently on affects HTML output (no patch for FO output provided). * Initial support of syntax highlighting of programlistings. Tools The following changes have been made to the tools code since the 1.70.1 release. * Racheted down font sizes of headings in example makefile FO output. * Added param and attribute set to example makefile, for getting wrapping in verbatims in FO output. * Renamed Makefile.paramDoc to Makefile.docParam. * Added Makefile.paramDoc file, for creating versions of param.xsl files with doc embedded. * Added variable to example makefile for controlling whether HTML or XHTML is generated. Release: 1.70.1 This is a stable release of the 1.70 stylesheets. It includes only a few small changes from 1.70.0. The following is a list of changes that have been made since the 1.70.0 release. FO The following changes have been made to the fo code since the 1.70.0 release. * Added three new attribute sets (revhistory.title.properties, revhistory.table.properties and revhistory.table.cell.properties) for controlling appearance of revhistory in FO output. Modified: fo/block.xsl,1.34; fo/param.ent,1.101; fo/param.xweb,1.114; fo/titlepage.xsl,1.41; params/revhistory.table.cell.properties.xml,1.1; params/revhistory.table.properties.xml,1.1; params/revhistory.title.properties.xml,1.1 - Jirka Kosek * Support DBv5 revisions with full author name (not only authorinitials) Modified: fo/block.xsl,1.33; fo/titlepage.xsl,1.40 - Jirka Kosek HTML The following changes have been made to the html code since the 1.70.0 release. * Support DBv5 revisions with full author name (not only authorinitials) Modified: html/block.xsl,1.23; html/titlepage.xsl,1.34 - Jirka Kosek HTMLHelp The following changes have been made to the htmlhelp code since the 1.70.0 release. * htmlhelp.generate.index is now param, not variable. This means that you can override its setting from outside. This is useful when you generate indexterms on the fly (see http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2004/07/14/dbndx.html?page=3). Modified: htmlhelp/htmlhelp-common.xsl,1.38 - Jirka Kosek * Support chunk.tocs.and.lots in HTML Help Modified: htmlhelp/htmlhelp-common.xsl,1.37 - Jirka Kosek Params The following changes have been made to the params code since the 1.70.0 release. * Added three new attribute sets (revhistory.title.properties, revhistory.table.properties and revhistory.table.cell.properties) for controlling appearance of revhistory in FO output. Modified: fo/block.xsl,1.34; fo/param.ent,1.101; fo/param.xweb,1.114; fo/titlepage.xsl,1.41; params/revhistory.table.cell.properties.xml,1.1; params/revhistory.table.properties.xml,1.1; params/revhistory.title.properties.xml,1.1 - Jirka Kosek Release: 1.70.0 As with all DocBook Project dot-zero releases, this is an experimental release. It will be followed shortly by a stable release. This release adds a number of new features, including: * support for selecting alternative index-collation methods (in particular, support for using a collation library developed by Eliot Kimber) * improved handling of DocBook 5 document instances (through a namespace-stripping mechanism) * full support for CALS and HTML tables in manpages output * a mechanism for preserving relative URIs in documents that make use of XInclude * support for the "new" .90 version of FOP * enhanced capabilities for controlling formatting of lists in HTML and FO output * autogeneration of AUTHOR and COPYRIGHT sections in manpages output * support for generating crop marks in FO/PDF output * support for qandaset as a root element in FO output * support for floatstyle and orient on all table types * support for floatstyle in figure, and example * pgwide.properties attribute-set supports extending figure, example and table into the left indent area instead of spanning multiple columns. The following is a detailed list of enhancements and API changes that have been made since the 1.69.1 release. Common The following changes have been made to the common code since the 1.69.1 release. * Add the xsl:key for the kimber indexing method. Modified: common/autoidx-ng.xsl,1.2 - Robert Stayton * Add support for qandaset. Modified: common/labels.xsl,1.37; common/subtitles.xsl,1.7; common/titles.xsl,1.35 - Robert Stayton * Support dbhtml/dbfo start PI for orderedlist numbering in both HTML and FO Modified: common/common.xsl,1.61; html/lists.xsl,1.50 - Norman Walsh * Added CVS header. Modified: common/stripns.xsl,1.12 - Robert Stayton * Changed content model of text element to ANY rather than #PCDATA because they could contain markup. Modified: common/targetdatabase.dtd,1.7 - Robert Stayton * Added refentry.meta.get.quietly param. If zero (the default), notes and warnings about "missing" markup are generated during gathering of refentry metadata. If non-zero, the metadata is gathered "quietly" -- that is, the notes and warnings are suppressed. NOTE: If you are processing a large amount of refentry content, you may be able to speed up processing significantly by setting a non-zero value for refentry.meta.get.quietly. Modified: common/refentry.xsl,1.17; manpages/param.ent,1.15; manpages/param.xweb,1.17; params/refentry.meta.get.quietly.xml,1.1 - Michael(tm) Smith * After namespace stripping, the source document is the temporary tree created by the stripping process and it has the wrong base URI for relative references. Earlier versions of this code used to try to fix that by patching the elements with relative @fileref attributes. That was inadequate because it calculated an absolute base URI without considering that there might be xml:base attributes already in effect. It seems obvious now that the right thing to do is simply to put the xml:base on the root of the document. And that seems to work. Modified: common/stripns.xsl,1.7 - Norman Walsh * Added support for "software" and "sectdesc" class values on refmiscinfo; "software" is treated identically to "source", and "setdesc" is treated identically to "manual". Modified: common/refentry.xsl,1.10; params/man.th.extra2.max.length.xml,1.3; params/refentry.source.name.profile.xml,1.4 - Michael(tm) Smith * Added support for DocBook 5 namespace-stripping in manpages stylesheet. Closes request #1210692. Modified: common/common.xsl,1.56; manpages/docbook.xsl,1.57 - Michael(tm) Smith * Added to make stripns.xsl usable as a standalone stylesheet for stripping out DocBook 5/NG to DocBook 4. Note that DocBook XSLT drivers that include this stylesheet all override the match="/" template. Modified: common/stripns.xsl,1.4 - Michael(tm) Smith * Number figures, examples, and tables from book if there is no prefix (i.e. if chapter.autolabel is set to 0). This avoids having the list of figures where the figures mysteriously restart their numeration periodically when chapter.autolabel is set to 0. Modified: common/labels.xsl,1.36 - David Cramer * Add task template in title.markup mode. Modified: common/titles.xsl,1.34 - Robert Stayton * Add children (with ids) of formal objects to target data. Modified: common/targets.xsl,1.10 - Robert Stayton * Added support for case when personname doesn't contain specific name markup (as allowed in DocBook 5.0) Modified: common/common.xsl,1.54 - Jirka Kosek Extensions The following changes have been made to the extensions code since the 1.69.1 release. * Support Xalan 2.7 Modified: extensions/xalan27/.cvsignore,1.1; extensions/xalan27/build.xml,1.1; extensions/xalan27/nbproject/.cvsignore,1.1; extensions/xalan27/nbproject/build-impl.xml,1.1; extensions/xalan27/nbproject/genfiles.properties,1.1; extensions/xalan27/nbproject/project.properties,1.1; extensions/xalan27/nbproject/project.xml,1.1; extensions/xalan27/src/com/nwalsh/xalan/CVS.java,1.1; extensions/xalan27/src/com/nwalsh/xalan/Callout.java,1.1; extensions/xalan27/src/com/nwalsh/xalan/FormatCallout.java,1.1; extensions/xalan27/src/com/nwalsh/xalan/FormatDingbatCallout.java,1.1; extensions/xalan27/src/com/nwalsh/xalan/FormatGraphicCallout.java,1.1; extensions/xalan27/src/com/nwalsh/xalan/FormatTextCallout.java,1.1; extensions/xalan27/src/com/nwalsh/xalan/FormatUnicodeCallout.java,1.1; extensions/xalan27/src/com/nwalsh/xalan/Func.java,1.1; extensions/xalan27/src/com/nwalsh/xalan/ImageIntrinsics.java,1.1; extensions/xalan27/src/com/nwalsh/xalan/Params.java,1.1; extensions/xalan27/src/com/nwalsh/xalan/Table.java,1.1; extensions/xalan27/src/com/nwalsh/xalan/Text.java,1.1; extensions/xalan27/src/com/nwalsh/xalan/Verbatim.java,1.1 - Norman Walsh * Handle the case where the imageFn is actually a URI. This still needs work. Modified: extensions/saxon643/com/nwalsh/saxon/ImageIntrinsics.java,1.4 - Norman Walsh FO The following changes have been made to the fo code since the 1.69.1 release. * Adapted to the new indexing code. Now works just like a wrapper that calls kosek indexing method, originally implemented here. Modified: fo/autoidx-ng.xsl,1.5 - Jirka Kosek * Added parameters for header/footer table minimum height. Modified: fo/pagesetup.xsl,1.60; fo/param.ent,1.100; fo/param.xweb,1.113 - Robert Stayton * Add the index.method parameter. Modified: fo/param.ent,1.99; fo/param.xweb,1.112 - Robert Stayton * Integrate support for three indexing methods: - the original English-only method. - Jirka Kosek's method using EXSLT extensions. - Eliot Kimber's method using Saxon extensions. Use the 'index.method' parameter to select. Modified: fo/autoidx.xsl,1.38 - Robert Stayton * Add support for TOC for qandaset in fo output. Modified: fo/autotoc.xsl,1.30; fo/qandaset.xsl,1.20 - Robert Stayton * Added parameter ulink.hyphenate.chars. Added parameter insert.link .page.number. Modified: fo/param.ent,1.98; fo/param.xweb,1.111 - Robert Stayton * Implemented feature request #942524 to add insert.link.page.number to allow link element cross references to have a page number. Modified: fo/xref.xsl,1.67 - Robert Stayton * Add support for ulink.hyphenate.chars so more characters can be break points in urls. Modified: fo/xref.xsl,1.66 - Robert Stayton * Implemented patch #1075144 to make the url text in a ulink in FO output an active link as well. Modified: fo/xref.xsl,1.65 - Robert Stayton * table footnotes now have their own table.footnote.properties attribute set. Modified: fo/footnote.xsl,1.23 - Robert Stayton * Add qandaset to root.elements. Modified: fo/docbook.xsl,1.41 - Robert Stayton * Added mode="page.sequence" to make it easier to put content into a page sequence. First used for qandaset. Modified: fo/component.xsl,1.37 - Robert Stayton * Implemented feature request #1434408 to support formatting of biblioentry. Modified: fo/biblio.xsl,1.35 - Robert Stayton * Added biblioentry.properties. Modified: fo/param.ent,1.97; fo/param.xweb,1.110 - Robert Stayton * Support PTC/Arbortext bookmarks Modified: fo/docbook.xsl,1.40; fo/ptc.xsl,1.1 - Norman Walsh * Added table.footnote.properties to permit table footnotes to format differently from regular footnotes. Modified: fo/param.ent,1.96; fo/param.xweb,1.109 - Robert Stayton * Refactored table templates to unify their processing and support all options in all types. Now table and informaltable, in both Cals and Html markup, use the same templates where possible, and all support pgwide, rotation, and floats. There is also a placeholder table.container template to support wrapping a table in a layout table, so the XEP table title "continued" extension can be more easily implemented. Modified: fo/formal.xsl,1.52; fo/htmltbl.xsl,1.9; fo/table.xsl,1.48 - Robert Stayton * Added new attribute set toc.line.properties for controlling appearance of lines in ToC/LoT Modified: fo/autotoc.xsl,1.29; fo/param.ent,1.95; fo/param.xweb,1.108 - Jirka Kosek * Added support for float to example and equation. Added support for pgwide to figure, example, and equation (the latter two via a dbfo pgwide="1" processing instruction). Modified: fo/formal.xsl,1.51 - Robert Stayton * Add pgwide.properties attribute-set. Modified: fo/param.ent,1.94; fo/param.xweb,1.107 - Robert Stayton * Added refclass.suppress param. If the value of refclass.suppress is non-zero, then display refclass contents is suppressed in output. Affects HTML and FO output only. Modified: fo/param.ent,1.93; fo/param.xweb,1.106; html/param.ent,1.90; html/param.xweb,1.99; params/refclass.suppress.xml,1.1 - Michael(tm) Smith * Improved support for task subelements Modified: fo/task.xsl,1.3; html/task.xsl,1.3 - Jirka Kosek * Adjusted spacing around K&R-formatted Funcdef and Paramdef output such that it can more easily be discerned where one ends and the other begins. Closes #1213264. Modified: fo/synop.xsl,1.18 - Michael(tm) Smith * Made handling of paramdef/parameter in FO output consistent with that in HTML and manpages output. Closes #1213259. Modified: fo/synop.xsl,1.17 - Michael(tm) Smith * Made handling of Refnamediv consistent with formatting in HTML and manpages output; specifically, changed so that Refname (comma-separated list of multiple instances found) is used (instead of Refentrytitle as previously), then em-dash, then the Refpurpose. Closes #1212562. Modified: fo/refentry.xsl,1.30 - Michael(tm) Smith * Added output of Releaseinfo to recto titlepage ("copyright" page) for Book in FO output. This makes it consistent with HTML output. Closes #1327034. Thanks to Paul DuBois for reporting. Modified: fo/titlepage.templates.xml,1.28 - Michael(tm) Smith * Added condition for setting block-progression-dimension.minimum on table-row, instead of height, when fop1.extensions is non-zero. For an explanation of the reason for the change, see: http://wiki.apache.org/xmlgraphics-fop/Troubleshooting/CommonLogMessages Modified: fo/pagesetup.xsl,1.59 - Michael(tm) Smith * Added new refclass.suppress param for suppressing display of Refclass in HTML and FO output. Did not add it to manpages because manpages stylesheet is currently just silently ignoring Refclass anyway. Closes request #1461065. Thanks to Davor Ocelic (docelic) for reporting. Modified: fo/refentry.xsl,1.29; html/refentry.xsl,1.23 - Michael(tm) Smith * Add support for keep-together PI to informal objects. Modified: fo/formal.xsl,1.50 - Robert Stayton * Add support for fop1.extensions. Modified: fo/formal.xsl,1.49; fo/graphics.xsl,1.44; fo/table.xsl,1.47 - Robert Stayton * Add support for fop1 bookmarks. Modified: fo/docbook.xsl,1.39 - Robert Stayton * Add fop1.extentions parameter to add support for fop development version. Modified: fo/param.ent,1.92; fo/param.xweb,1.105 - Robert Stayton * Start supporting fop development version, which will become fop version 1. Modified: fo/fop1.xsl,1.1 - Robert Stayton * Add template for task in mode="xref-to". Modified: fo/xref.xsl,1.63; html/xref.xsl,1.57 - Robert Stayton * table footnotes now also get footnote.properties attribute-set. Modified: fo/footnote.xsl,1.22 - Robert Stayton * Added index.separator named template to compute the separator punctuation based on locale. Modified: fo/autoidx.xsl,1.36 - Robert Stayton * Added support for link, olink, and xref within OO Classsynopsis and children. (Because DocBook NG/5 allows it). Modified: fo/synop.xsl,1.15; html/synop.xsl,1.19 - Michael(tm) Smith * Support date as an inline Modified: fo/inline.xsl,1.43; html/inline.xsl,1.46 - Norman Walsh * Added new parameter keep.relative.image.uris Modified: fo/param.ent,1.91; fo/param.xweb,1.104; html/param.ent,1.87; html/param.xweb,1.96; params/keep.relative.image.uris.xml,1.1 - Norman Walsh * Map Unicode space characters U+2000-U+200A to fo:leaders. Modified: fo/docbook.xsl,1.38; fo/passivetex.xsl,1.4; fo/spaces.xsl,1.1 - Jirka Kosek * Output a real em dash for em-dash dingbat (instead of two hypens). Modified: fo/fo.xsl,1.7 - Michael(tm) Smith * Support default label width parameters for itemized and ordered lists Modified: fo/lists.xsl,1.64; fo/param.ent,1.90; fo/param.xweb,1.103; params/itemizedlist.label.width.xml,1.1; params/orderedlist.label.width.xml,1.1 - Norman Walsh * Generate localized title for Refsynopsisdiv if no appropriate Title descendant found in source. Closes #1212398. This change makes behavior for the Synopsis title consistent with the behavior of HTML and manpages output. Also, added xsl:use-attribute-sets="normal.para.spacing" to block generated for Cmdsynopsis output. Previously, that block had no spacing at all specified, which resulted it being crammed up to closely to the Synopsis head. Modified: fo/refentry.xsl,1.28; fo/synop.xsl,1.13 - Michael(tm) Smith * Added parameters to support localization of index item punctuation. Modified: fo/autoidx.xsl,1.35 - Robert Stayton * Added index.number.separator, index.range.separator, and index.term.separator parameters to support localization of punctuation in index entries. Modified: fo/param.ent,1.89; fo/param.xweb,1.102 - Robert Stayton * Added "Cross References" section in HTML doc (for consistency with the FO doc). Also, moved the existing FO "Cross References" section to follow the "Linking" section. Modified: fo/param.xweb,1.101; html/param.xweb,1.95 - Michael(tm) Smith * Added ID attribues to all Reference elements (e.g., id="tables" for the doc for section on Table params). So pages for all subsections of ref docs now have stable filenames instead of arbitrary generated filenames. Modified: fo/param.xweb,1.100; html/param.xweb,1.94 - Michael(tm) Smith * Added two new parameters for handling of multi-term varlistentry elements: variablelist.term.break.after: When the variablelist.term.break.after is non-zero, it will generate a line break after each term multi-term varlistentry. variablelist.term.separator: When a varlistentry contains multiple term elements, the string specified in the value of the variablelist.term.separator parameter is placed after each term except the last. The default is ", " (a comma followed by a space). To suppress rendering of the separator, set the value of variablelist.term.separator to the empty string (""). These parameters are primarily intended to be useful if you have multi-term varlistentries that have long terms. Closes #1306676. Thanks to Sam Steingold for providing an example "lots of long terms" doc that demonstrated the value of having these options. Also, added normalize-space() call to processing of each term. This change affects all output formats (HTML, PDF, manpages). The default behavior should pretty much remain the same as before, but it is possible (as always) that the change may introduce some new bugginess. Modified: fo/lists.xsl,1.62; fo/param.ent,1.88; fo/param.xweb,1.99; html/lists.xsl,1.48; html/param.ent,1.86; html/param.xweb,1.93; manpages/lists.xsl,1.22; manpages/param.ent,1.14; manpages/param.xweb,1.16; params/variablelist.term.break.after.xml,1.1; params/variablelist.term.separator.xml,1.1 - Michael(tm) Smith * Add sidebar titlepage placeholder attset for styles. Modified: fo/titlepage.xsl,1.37 - Robert Stayton * Add titlepage for sidebar. Modified: fo/titlepage.templates.xml,1.27 - Robert Stayton * Implemented RFE #1292615. Added bunch of new parameters (attribute sets) that affect list presentation: list.block.properties, itemizedlist.properties, orderedlist .properties, itemizedlist.label.properties and orderedlist.label .properties. Default behaviour of stylesheets has not been changed but further customizations will be much more easier. Modified: fo/lists.xsl,1.61; fo/param.ent,1.87; fo/param.xweb,1.98; params/itemizedlist.label.properties.xml,1.1; params/itemizedlist.properties.xml,1.1; params/list.block.properties.xml,1.1; params/orderedlist.label.properties.xml,1.1; params/orderedlist.properties.xml,1.1 - Jirka Kosek * Implemented RFE #1242092. You can enable crop marks in your document by setting crop.marks=1 and xep.extensions=1. Appearance of crop marks can be controlled by parameters crop.mark.bleed (6pt), crop.mark.offset (24pt) and crop.mark.width (0.5pt). Also there is new named template called user-xep-pis. You can overwrite it in order to produce some PIs that can control XEP as described in http://www.renderx.com/reference.html#Output_Formats Modified: fo/docbook.xsl,1.36; fo/param.ent,1.86; fo/param.xweb,1.97; fo/xep.xsl,1.23; params/crop.mark.bleed.xml,1.1; params/crop.mark.offset.xml,1.1; params/crop.mark.width.xml,1.1; params/crop.marks.xml,1.1 - Jirka Kosek HTML The following changes have been made to the html code since the 1.69.1 release. * implemented index.method parameter and three methods. Modified: html/autoidx.xsl,1.28 - Robert Stayton * added index.method parameter to support 3 indexing methods. Modified: html/param.ent,1.94; html/param.xweb,1.103 - Robert Stayton * Implemented feature request #1072510 as a processing instruction to permit including external HTML content into HTML output. Modified: html/pi.xsl,1.9 - Robert Stayton * Added new parameter chunk.tocs.and.lots.has.title which controls presence of title in a separate chunk with ToC/LoT. Disabling title can be very useful if you are generating frameset output (well, yes those frames, but some customers really want them ;-). Modified: html/chunk-code.xsl,1.15; html/param.ent,1.93; html/param.xweb,1.102; params/chunk.tocs.and.lots.has.title.xml,1.1 - Jirka Kosek * Support dbhtml/dbfo start PI for orderedlist numbering in both HTML and FO Modified: common/common.xsl,1.61; html/lists.xsl,1.50 - Norman Walsh * Allow ToC without title also for set and book. Modified: html/autotoc.xsl,1.37; html/division.xsl,1.12 - Jirka Kosek * Implemented floats uniformly for figure, example, equation and informalfigure, informalexample, and informalequation. Modified: html/formal.xsl,1.22 - Robert Stayton * Added the autotoc.label.in.hyperlink param. If the value of autotoc.label.in.hyperlink is non-zero, labels are included in hyperlinked titles in the TOC. If it is instead zero, labels are still displayed prior to the hyperlinked titles, but are not hyperlinked along with the titles. Closes patch #1065868. Thanks to anatoly techtonik for the patch. Modified: html/autotoc.xsl,1.36; html/param.ent,1.92; html/param.xweb,1.101; params/autotoc.label.in.hyperlink.xml,1.1 - Michael(tm) Smith * Added two new params: html.head.legalnotice.link.types and html.head. legalnotice.link.multiple. If the value of the generate.legalnotice.link is non-zero, then the stylesheet generates (in the head section of the HTML source) either a single HTML link element or, if the value of the html.head.legalnotice. link.multiple is non-zero, one link element for each link type specified. Each link has the following attributes: - a rel attribute whose value is derived from the value of html.head. legalnotice.link.types - an href attribute whose value is set to the URL of the file containing the legalnotice - a title attribute whose value is set to the title of the corresponding legalnotice (or a title programatically determined by the stylesheet) For example: Closes #1476450. Thanks to Sam Steingold. Modified: html/chunk-common.xsl,1.45; html/param.ent,1.91; html/param.xweb,1.100; params/generate.legalnotice.link.xml,1.4; params/html.head.legalnotice.link.multiple.xml,1.1; params/html.head.legalnotice.link.types.xml,1.1 - Michael(tm) Smith * Added refclass.suppress param. If the value of refclass.suppress is non-zero, then display refclass contents is suppressed in output. Affects HTML and FO output only. Modified: fo/param.ent,1.93; fo/param.xweb,1.106; html/param.ent,1.90; html/param.xweb,1.99; params/refclass.suppress.xml,1.1 - Michael(tm) Smith * Improved support for task subelements Modified: fo/task.xsl,1.3; html/task.xsl,1.3 - Jirka Kosek * Added new refclass.suppress param for suppressing display of Refclass in HTML and FO output. Did not add it to manpages because manpages stylesheet is currently just silently ignoring Refclass anyway. Closes request #1461065. Thanks to Davor Ocelic (docelic) for reporting. Modified: fo/refentry.xsl,1.29; html/refentry.xsl,1.23 - Michael(tm) Smith * Process alt text with normalize-space(). Replace tab indents with spaces. Modified: html/graphics.xsl,1.57 - Robert Stayton * Content of citation element is automatically linked to the bibliographic entry with the corresponding abbrev. Modified: html/biblio.xsl,1.26; html/inline.xsl,1.47; html/xref.xsl,1.58 - Jirka Kosek * Add template for task in mode="xref-to". Modified: fo/xref.xsl,1.63; html/xref.xsl,1.57 - Robert Stayton * Suppress ID warnings if the .warnings parameter is 0 Modified: html/html.xsl,1.17 - Norman Walsh * Add support for floatstyle to figure. Modified: html/formal.xsl,1.21 - Robert Stayton * Handling of xref to area/areaset need support in extensions code also. I currently have no time to touch extensions code, so code is here to be enabled when extension is fixed also. Modified: html/xref.xsl,1.56 - Jirka Kosek * Added 3 parameters for overriding gentext for index punctuation. Modified: html/param.ent,1.89; html/param.xweb,1.98 - Robert Stayton * Added parameters to support localization of index item punctuation. Added index.separator named template to compute the separator punctuation based on locale. Modified: html/autoidx.xsl,1.27 - Robert Stayton * Added a
wrapper around output of contents of all formal objects. Also, added an optional
linebreak after all formal objects. WARNING: Because this change places an additional DIV between the DIV wrapper for the equation and the equation contents, it may break some existing CSS stylesheets that have been created with the assumption that there would never be an intervening DIV there. The following is an example of what Equation output looks like as a result of the changes described above.

(1.3)

1+1=3

Rationale: These changes allow CSS control of the placement of the formal-object title relative to the formal-object contents. For example, using the CSS "float" property enables the title and contents to be rendered on the same line. Example stylesheet: .equation { margin-top: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; } .equation-contents { float: left; } .equation .title { margin-top: 0; float: right; margin-right: 200px; } .equation .title b { font-weight: normal; } .equation-break { clear: both; } Note that the purpose of the ".equation-break" class is to provide a way to clear off the floats. If you want to instead have the equation title rendered to the left of the equation contents, you can do something like this: .equation { margin-top: 20px; width: 300px; margin-bottom: 20px; } .equation-contents { float: right; } .equation .title { margin-top: 0; float: left; margin-right: 200px; } .equation .title b { font-weight: normal; } .equation-break { clear: both; } Modified: html/formal.xsl,1.20 - Michael(tm) Smith * Added a chunker.output.quiet top-level parameter so that the chunker can be made quiet by default Modified: html/chunker.xsl,1.26 - Norman Walsh * Added support for link, olink, and xref within OO Classsynopsis and children. (Because DocBook NG/5 allows it). Modified: fo/synop.xsl,1.15; html/synop.xsl,1.19 - Michael(tm) Smith * New parameter: id.warnings. If non-zero, warnings are generated for titled objects that don't have titles. True by default; I wonder if this will be too aggressive? Modified: html/biblio.xsl,1.25; html/component.xsl,1.27; html/division.xsl,1.11; html/formal.xsl,1.19; html/glossary.xsl,1.20; html/html.xsl,1.13; html/index.xsl,1.16; html/param.ent,1.88; html/param.xweb,1.97; html/refentry.xsl,1.22; html/sections.xsl,1.30; params/id.warnings.xml,1.1 - Norman Walsh * If the keep.relative.image.uris parameter is true, don't use the absolute URI (as calculated from xml:base) in the img src attribute, us the value the author specified. Note that we still have to calculate the absolute filename for use in the image intrinsics extension. Modified: html/graphics.xsl,1.56 - Norman Walsh * Support date as an inline Modified: fo/inline.xsl,1.43; html/inline.xsl,1.46 - Norman Walsh * Added new parameter keep.relative.image.uris Modified: fo/param.ent,1.91; fo/param.xweb,1.104; html/param.ent,1.87; html/param.xweb,1.96; params/keep.relative.image.uris.xml,1.1 - Norman Walsh * Added two new parameters for handling of multi-term varlistentry elements: variablelist.term.break.after: When the variablelist.term.break.after is non-zero, it will generate a line break after each term multi-term varlistentry. variablelist.term.separator: When a varlistentry contains multiple term elements, the string specified in the value of the variablelist.term.separator parameter is placed after each term except the last. The default is ", " (a comma followed by a space). To suppress rendering of the separator, set the value of variablelist.term.separator to the empty string (""). These parameters are primarily intended to be useful if you have multi-term varlistentries that have long terms. Closes #1306676. Thanks to Sam Steingold for providing an example "lots of long terms" doc that demonstrated the value of having these options. Also, added normalize-space() call to processing of each term. This change affects all output formats (HTML, PDF, manpages). The default behavior should pretty much remain the same as before, but it is possible (as always) that the change may introduce some new bugginess.

Acronym and Abbrev templates now use inline.charseq to output HTML "acronym" and "abbr" elements (instead of "span"). Closes #1305468. Thanks to Sam Steingold for suggesting the change. Modified: html/inline.xsl,1.45 - Michael(tm) Smith Manpages The following changes have been made to the manpages code since the 1.69.1 release. * Added the following params: - man.indent.width (string-valued) - man.indent.refsect (boolean) - man.indent.blurbs (boolean) - man.indent.lists (boolean) - man.indent.verbatims (boolean) Note that in earlier snapshots, man.indent.width was named man.indentation.default.value and the boolean params had names like man.indentation.*.adjust. Also the man.indent.blurbs param was called man.indentation.authors.adjust (or something). The behavior now is: If the value of a particular man.indent.* boolean param is non-zero, the corresponding contents (refsect*, list items, authorblurb/personblurb, vervatims) are displayed with a left margin indented by a width equal to the value of man.indent.width. Modified: params/man.indent.blurbs.xml,1.1; manpages/docbook.xsl,1.74; manpages/info.xsl,1.20; manpages/lists.xsl,1.30; manpages/other.xsl,1.20; manpages/param.ent,1.22; manpages/param.xweb,1.24; manpages/refentry.xsl,1.14; params/man.indent.lists.xml,1.1; params/man.indent.refsect.xml,1.1; params/man.indent.verbatims.xml,1.1; params/man.indent.width.xml,1.1 - Michael(tm) Smith * Added man.table.footnotes.divider param. In each table that contains footenotes, the string specified by the man. table.footnotes.divider parameter is output before the list of footnotes for the table. Modified: manpages/docbook.xsl,1.73; manpages/links.xsl,1.6; manpages/param.ent,1.21; manpages/param.xweb,1.23; params/man.table.footnotes.divider.xml,1.1 - Michael(tm) Smith * Added the man.output.in.separate.dir, man.output.base.dir, and man.output.subdirs.enabled parameters. The man.output.base.dir parameter specifies the base directory into which man-page files are output. The man.output.subdirs.enabled parameter controls whether the files are output in subdirectories within the base directory. The values of the man.output.base.dir and man.output.subdirs.enabled parameters are used only if the value of man.output.in.separate.dir parameter is non-zero. If the value of man.output.in.separate.dir is zero, man-page files are not output in a separate directory. Modified: manpages/docbook.xsl,1.72; manpages/param.ent,1.20; manpages/param.xweb,1.22; params/man.output.base.dir.xml,1.1; params/man.output.in.separate.dir.xml,1.1; params/man.output.subdirs.enabled.xml,1.1 - Michael(tm) Smith * Added man.font.table.headings and man.font.table.title params, for controlling font in table headings and titles. Modified: manpages/docbook.xsl,1.71; manpages/param.ent,1.19; manpages/param.xweb,1.21; params/man.font.table.headings.xml,1.1; params/man.font.table.title.xml,1.1 - Michael(tm) Smith * Added man.font.funcsynopsisinfo and man.font.funcprototype params, for specifying the roff font (for example, BI, B, I) for funcsynopsisinfo and funcprototype output. Modified: manpages/block.xsl,1.19; manpages/docbook.xsl,1.69; manpages/param.ent,1.18; manpages/param.xweb,1.20; manpages/synop.xsl,1.29; manpages/table.xsl,1.21; params/man.font.funcprototype.xml,1.1; params/man.font.funcsynopsisinfo.xml,1.1 - Michael(tm) Smith * Added man.segtitle.suppress param. If the value of man.segtitle.suppress is non-zero, then display of segtitle contents is suppressed in output. Modified: manpages/docbook.xsl,1.68; manpages/param.ent,1.17; manpages/param.xweb,1.19; params/man.segtitle.suppress.xml,1.1 - Michael(tm) Smith * Added man.output.manifest.enabled and man.output.manifest.filename params. If man.output.manifest.enabled is non-zero, a list of filenames for man pages generated by the stylesheet transformation is written to the file named by man.output.manifest.filename Modified: manpages/docbook.xsl,1.67; manpages/other.xsl,1.19; manpages/param.ent,1.16; manpages/param.xweb,1.18; params/man.output.manifest.enabled.xml,1.1; params/man.output.manifest.filename.xml,1.1; tools/make/Makefile.DocBook,1.4 - Michael(tm) Smith * Added refentry.meta.get.quietly param. If zero (the default), notes and warnings about "missing" markup are generated during gathering of refentry metadata. If non-zero, the metadata is gathered "quietly" -- that is, the notes and warnings are suppressed. NOTE: If you are processing a large amount of refentry content, you may be able to speed up processing significantly by setting a non-zero value for refentry.meta.get.quietly. Modified: common/refentry.xsl,1.17; manpages/param.ent,1.15; manpages/param.xweb,1.17; params/refentry.meta.get.quietly.xml,1.1 - Michael(tm) Smith * Changed names of all boolean indentation params to man.indent.* Also discarded individual man.indent.*.value params and switched to just using a common man.indent.width param (3n by default). Modified: manpages/docbook.xsl,1.66; manpages/info.xsl,1.19; manpages/lists.xsl,1.29; manpages/other.xsl,1.18; manpages/refentry.xsl,1.13 - Michael(tm) Smith * Added boolean man.output.in.separate.dir param, to control whether or not man files are output in separate directory. Modified: manpages/docbook.xsl,1.65; manpages/utility.xsl,1.14 - Michael(tm) Smith * Added options for controlling indentation of verbatim output. Controlled through the man.indentation.verbatims.adjust and man.indentation.verbatims.value params. Closes #1242997 Modified: manpages/block.xsl,1.15; manpages/docbook.xsl,1.64 - Michael(tm) Smith * Added options for controlling indentation in lists and in *blurb output in the AUTHORS section. Controlled through the man.indentation.lists.adjust, man.indentation.lists.value, man.indentation.authors.adjust, and man.indentation.authors.value parameters. Default is 3 characters (instead of the roff default of 8 characters). Closes #1449369. Also, removed the indent that was being set on informalexample outuput. I will instead add an option for indenting verbatims, which I think is what the informalexample indent was intended for originally. Modified: manpages/block.xsl,1.14; manpages/docbook.xsl,1.63; manpages/info.xsl,1.18; manpages/lists.xsl,1.28 - Michael(tm) Smith * Changed line-spacing call before synopfragment to use ".sp -1n" ("n" units specified) instead of plain ".sp -1" Modified: manpages/synop.xsl,1.28 - Michael(tm) Smith * Added support for writing man files into a specific output directory and into appropriate subdirectories within that output directory. Controlled through the man.base.dir parameter (similar to the base.dir support in the HTML stylesheet) and the man.subdirs.enabled parameter, which automatically determines the name of an appropriate subdir (for example, man/man7, man/man1, etc.) based on the section number/manvolnum of the source Refentry. Closes #1255036 and #1170317. Thanks to Denis Bradford for the original feature request, and to Costin Stroie for submitting a patch that was very helpful in implementing the support. Modified: manpages/docbook.xsl,1.62; manpages/utility.xsl,1.13 - Michael(tm) Smith * Refined XPath statements and notification messages for refentry metadata handling. Modified: common/common.xsl,1.59; common/refentry.xsl,1.14; manpages/docbook.xsl,1.61; manpages/other.xsl,1.17 - Michael(tm) Smith * Added support for copyright and legalnotice. The manpages stylesheets now output a COPYRIGHT section, after the AUTHORS section, if a copyright or legalnotice is found in the source. The section contains the copyright contents followed by the legalnotice contents. Closes #1450209. Modified: manpages/docbook.xsl,1.59; manpages/info.xsl,1.17 - Michael(tm) Smith * Drastically reworked all of the XPath expressions used in refentry metadata gathering -- completely removed $parentinfo and turned $info into a set of nodes that includes the *info contents of the Refentry plus the *info contents all all of its ancestor elements. The basic XPath expression now used throughout is (using the example of checking for a date): (($info[//date])[last()]/date)[1]. That selects the "last" *info/date date in document order -- that is, the one eitther on the Refentry itself or on the closest ancestor to the Refentry. It's likely this change may break some things; may need to pick up some pieces later. Also, changed the default value for the man.th.extra2.max.length from 40 to 30. Modified: common/common.xsl,1.58; common/refentry.xsl,1.7; params/man.th.extra2.max.length.xml,1.2; params/refentry.date.profile.xml,1.2; params/refentry.manual.profile.xml,1.2; params/refentry.source.name.profile.xml,1.2; params/refentry.version.profile.xml,1.2; manpages/docbook.xsl,1.58; manpages/other.xsl,1.15 - Michael(tm) Smith * Added support for DocBook 5 namespace-stripping in manpages stylesheet. Closes request #1210692. Modified: common/common.xsl,1.56; manpages/docbook.xsl,1.57 - Michael(tm) Smith * Fixed handling of table footnotes. With this checkin, the table support in the manpages stylesheet is now basically feature complete. So this change closes request #619532, "No support for tables" -- the oldest currently open manpages feature request, submitted by Ben Secrest (blsecres) on 2002-10-07. Congratulations to me [patting myself on the back]. Modified: manpages/block.xsl,1.11; manpages/docbook.xsl,1.55; manpages/table.xsl,1.15 - Michael(tm) Smith * Added handling for table titles. Also fixed handling of nested tables; nest tables are now "extracted" and displayed just after their parent tables. Modified: manpages/docbook.xsl,1.54; manpages/table.xsl,1.14 - Michael(tm) Smith * Added option for turning off bold formatting in Funcsynopsis. Boldface formatting in function synopsis is mandated in the man(7) man page and is used almost universally in existing man pages. Despite that, it really does look like crap to have an entire Funcsynopsis output in bold, so I added params for turning off the bold formatting and/or replacing it with a different roff special font (e.g., "RI" for alternating roman/italic instead of the default "BI" for alternating bold/italic). The new params are "man.funcprototype.font" and "man.funcsynopsisinfo.font". To be documented later. Closes #1452247. Thanks to Joe Orton for the feature request. Modified: params/man.string.subst.map.xml,1.16; manpages/block.xsl,1.10; manpages/docbook.xsl,1.51; manpages/inline.xsl,1.16; manpages/synop.xsl,1.27 - Michael(tm) Smith * Use AUTHORS instead of AUTHOR if we have multiple people to attribute. Also, fixed checking such that we generate author section even if we don't have an author (as long as there is at least one other person/entity we can put in the section). Also adjusted assembly of content for Author metainfo field such that we now not only use author, but try to find a "best match" if we can't find an author name to put there. Closes #1233592. Thanks to Sam Steingold for the request. Modified: manpages/info.xsl,1.12 - Michael(tm) Smith * Changes for request #1243027, "Impove handling of AUTHOR section." This adds support for Collab, Corpauthor, Corpcredt, Orgname, Publishername, and Publisher. Also adds support for output of Affiliation and its children, and support for using gentext strings for auto-attributing roles (Author, Editor, Publisher, Translator, etc.). Also did a lot of code cleanup and modularization of all the AUTHOR handling code. And fixed a bug that was causing Author info to not be picked up correctly for metainfo comment we embed in man-page source. Modified: manpages/info.xsl,1.11 - Michael(tm) Smith * Support bold output for "emphasis remap='B'". (because Eric Raymond's doclifter(1) tool converts groff source marked up with ".B" request or "\fB" escapes to DocBook "emphasis remap='B'".) Modified: manpages/inline.xsl,1.14 - Michael(tm) Smith * Added support for Segmentedlist. Details: Output is tabular, with no option for "list" type output. Output for Segtitle elements can be supressed by setting man.segtitle.suppress. If Segtitle content is output, it is rendered in italic type (not bold because not all terminals support bold and so italic ensures the stand out on those terminals). Extra space (.sp line) at end of table code ensures that it gets handled correctly in the case where its source is the child of a Para. Closes feature-request #1400097. Thanks to Daniel Leidert for the patch and push, and to Alastair Rankine for filing the original feature request. Modified: manpages/lists.xsl,1.23; manpages/utility.xsl,1.10 - Michael(tm) Smith * Improved handling or Author/Editor/Othercredit. Reworked content of (non-visible) comment added at top of each page (metadata stuff). Added support for generating a manifest file (useful for cleaning up after builds, etc.) Modified: manpages/docbook.xsl,1.46; manpages/info.xsl,1.9; manpages/other.xsl,1.12; manpages/utility.xsl,1.6 - Michael(tm) Smith * Added two new parameters for handling of multi-term varlistentry elements: variablelist.term.break.after: When the variablelist.term.break.after is non-zero, it will generate a line break after each term multi-term varlistentry. variablelist.term.separator: When a varlistentry contains multiple term elements, the string specified in the value of the variablelist.term.separator parameter is placed after each term except the last. The default is ", " (a comma followed by a space). To suppress rendering of the separator, set the value of variablelist.term.separator to the empty string (""). These parameters are primarily intended to be useful if you have multi-term varlistentries that have long terms. Closes #1306676. Thanks to Sam Steingold for providing an example "lots of long terms" doc that demonstrated the value of having these options. Also, added normalize-space() call to processing of each term. This change affects all output formats (HTML, PDF, manpages). The default behavior should pretty much remain the same as before, but it is possible (as always) that the change may introduce some new bugginess.

Modified: params/footer.table.height.xml,1.1; params/header.table.height.xml,1.1 - Robert Stayton * Support multiple indexing methods for different languages. Modified: params/index.method.xml,1.1 - Robert Stayton * Remove qandaset and qandadiv from generate.toc for fo output because formerly it wasn't working, but now it is and the default behavior should stay the same. Modified: params/generate.toc.xml,1.8 - Robert Stayton * add support for page number references to link element too. Modified: params/insert.link.page.number.xml,1.1 - Robert Stayton * Add support for more characters to hyphen on when ulink.hyphenate is turned on. Modified: params/ulink.hyphenate.chars.xml,1.1; params/ulink.hyphenate.xml,1.3 - Robert Stayton * New attribute-set to format biblioentry and bibliomixed. Modified: params/biblioentry.properties.xml,1.1 - Robert Stayton * Added new parameter chunk.tocs.and.lots.has.title which controls presence of title in a separate chunk with ToC/LoT. Disabling title can be very useful if you are generating frameset output (well, yes those frames, but some customers really want them ;-). Modified: html/chunk-code.xsl,1.15; html/param.ent,1.93; html/param.xweb,1.102; params/chunk.tocs.and.lots.has.title.xml,1.1 - Jirka Kosek * Added new attribute set toc.line.properties for controlling appearance of lines in ToC/LoT Modified: params/toc.line.properties.xml,1.1 - Jirka Kosek * Allow table footnotes to have different properties from regular footnotes. Modified: params/table.footnote.properties.xml,1.1 - Robert Stayton * Set properties for pgwide="1" objects. Modified: params/pgwide.properties.xml,1.1 - Robert Stayton * Added the autotoc.label.in.hyperlink param. If the value of autotoc.label.in.hyperlink is non-zero, labels are included in hyperlinked titles in the TOC. If it is instead zero, labels are still displayed prior to the hyperlinked titles, but are not hyperlinked along with the titles. Closes patch #1065868. Thanks to anatoly techtonik for the patch. Modified: html/autotoc.xsl,1.36; html/param.ent,1.92; html/param.xweb,1.101; params/autotoc.label.in.hyperlink.xml,1.1 - Michael(tm) Smith * Added two new params: html.head.legalnotice.link.types and html.head. legalnotice.link.multiple. If the value of the generate.legalnotice.link is non-zero, then the stylesheet generates (in the head section of the HTML source) either a single HTML link element or, if the value of the html.head.legalnotice. link.multiple is non-zero, one link element for each link type specified. Each link has the following attributes: - a rel attribute whose value is derived from the value of html.head. legalnotice.link.types - an href attribute whose value is set to the URL of the file containing the legalnotice - a title attribute whose value is set to the title of the corresponding legalnotice (or a title programatically determined by the stylesheet) For example: Closes #1476450. Thanks to Sam Steingold. Modified: html/chunk-common.xsl,1.45; html/param.ent,1.91; html/param.xweb,1.100; params/generate.legalnotice.link.xml,1.4; params/html.head.legalnotice.link.multiple.xml,1.1; params/html.head.legalnotice.link.types.xml,1.1 - Michael(tm) Smith * Added the following params: - man.indent.width (string-valued) - man.indent.refsect (boolean) - man.indent.blurbs (boolean) - man.indent.lists (boolean) - man.indent.verbatims (boolean) Note that in earlier snapshots, man.indent.width was named man.indentation.default.value and the boolean params had names like man.indentation.*.adjust. Also the man.indent.blurbs param was called man.indentation.authors.adjust (or something). The behavior now is: If the value of a particular man.indent.* boolean param is non-zero, the corresponding contents (refsect*, list items, authorblurb/personblurb, vervatims) are displayed with a left margin indented by a width equal to the value of man.indent.width. Modified: params/man.indent.blurbs.xml,1.1; manpages/docbook.xsl,1.74; manpages/info.xsl,1.20; manpages/lists.xsl,1.30; manpages/other.xsl,1.20; manpages/param.ent,1.22; manpages/param.xweb,1.24; manpages/refentry.xsl,1.14; params/man.indent.lists.xml,1.1; params/man.indent.refsect.xml,1.1; params/man.indent.verbatims.xml,1.1; params/man.indent.width.xml,1.1 - Michael(tm) Smith * Added man.table.footnotes.divider param. In each table that contains footenotes, the string specified by the man. table.footnotes.divider parameter is output before the list of footnotes for the table. Modified: manpages/docbook.xsl,1.73; manpages/links.xsl,1.6; manpages/param.ent,1.21; manpages/param.xweb,1.23; params/man.table.footnotes.divider.xml,1.1 - Michael(tm) Smith * Added the man.output.in.separate.dir, man.output.base.dir, and man.output.subdirs.enabled parameters. The man.output.base.dir parameter specifies the base directory into which man-page files are output. The man.output.subdirs.enabled parameter controls whether the files are output in subdirectories within the base directory. The values of the man.output.base.dir and man.output.subdirs.enabled parameters are used only if the value of man.output.in.separate.dir parameter is non-zero. If the value of man.output.in.separate.dir is zero, man-page files are not output in a separate directory. Modified: manpages/docbook.xsl,1.72; manpages/param.ent,1.20; manpages/param.xweb,1.22; params/man.output.base.dir.xml,1.1; params/man.output.in.separate.dir.xml,1.1; params/man.output.subdirs.enabled.xml,1.1 - Michael(tm) Smith * Added man.font.table.headings and man.font.table.title params, for controlling font in table headings and titles. Modified: manpages/docbook.xsl,1.71; manpages/param.ent,1.19; manpages/param.xweb,1.21; params/man.font.table.headings.xml,1.1; params/man.font.table.title.xml,1.1 - Michael(tm) Smith * Added man.font.funcsynopsisinfo and man.font.funcprototype params, for specifying the roff font (for example, BI, B, I) for funcsynopsisinfo and funcprototype output. Modified: manpages/block.xsl,1.19; manpages/docbook.xsl,1.69; manpages/param.ent,1.18; manpages/param.xweb,1.20; manpages/synop.xsl,1.29; manpages/table.xsl,1.21; params/man.font.funcprototype.xml,1.1; params/man.font.funcsynopsisinfo.xml,1.1 - Michael(tm) Smith * Changed to select="0" in refclass.suppress (instead of ..>0 as a child of the list. For example: Choose from ONE and ONLY ONE of the following: A B C. Output (for English): Choose from ONE and only ONE of the following choices: A, B, or C. As a temporary workaround for the fact that most of the DocBook non-English locale files don't have a localization for the word or, you can put in a literal string to be used; example for French: . That is, use ou instead of or. FO * Added content-type property to external-graphic element, based on imagedata format attribute. * Added support for generating field for XEP output. This makes the DocBook XSL stylesheet version information available through the Document Properties menu in Acrobat Reader and other PDF viewers. * Trademark symbol handling made consistent with handling of same in HTML stylesheets. Prior to this change, if you processed a document that contained no value for the class attribute on the trademark element, the HTML stylesheets would default to rendering a superscript TM symbol after the trademark contents, but the FO stylesheets would render nothing. * Added support for generating XEP bookmarks for refentry. * Added support for HTML markup table border attribute, applied to each table cell. * The table.width template can now sum column specs if none use % or *. * Added fox:destination extension inside fox:outline to support linking to internal destinations. * Added support for customizing abstract with property sets. Controlled with the abstract.properties and abstract.title.properties parameters. * Add footnotes in table title to table footnote set, and add support for table footnotes to HTML table markup. * Added support for title in glosslist. * Added support for itemizedlist symbol none. * Implemented the new graphical.admonition.properties and nongraphical.admonition.properties attribute sets. * Added id to formalpara and some other blocks that were missing it. * Changed the anchor template to output fo:inline instead of fo:wrapper. * Added support for toc.max.depth parameter. Help * Eclipse Help: Added support for generating olink database. HTML * Added a first cut at support in HTML output for DocBook 5 style annotation s. Controlled using the annotation.support parameter, and implemented using JavaScript and CSS styling. For more details, see the documentation for the annotation.js, annotation.css, annotation.graphic.open, and annotation.graphic.close parameters. * Generate client-side image map for imageobjectco with areas using calspair units * Added support for PI. * Added support for passing img.src.path to DocBook Java XSLT image extensions when appropriate. Controlled using the graphicsize.use.img.src.path parameter. * Added support for (not valid for DocBook 4) xlink:href on area and (not valid for DocBook 4) alt in area. * Added new parameter default.table.frame to control table framing if there is no frame attribute on a table. * Added initial, experimental support for generating content for the HTML title attribute from content of the alt element. This change adds support for the following inline elements only (none of them are block elements): abbrev, accel, acronym, action, application, authorinitials, beginpage, citation, citerefentry, citetitle, city, classname, code, command, computeroutput, constant, country, database, email, envar, errorcode, errorname, errortext, errortype, exceptionname, fax, filename, firstname, firstterm, foreignphrase, function, glossterm, guibutton, guiicon, guilabel, guimenu, guimenuitem, guisubmenu, hardware, honorific, interface, interfacename, keycap, keycode, keysym, lineage, lineannotation , literal, markup, medialabel, methodname, mousebutton, option, optional, otheraddr, othername, package, parameter, personname, phone, pob, postcode , productname, productnumber, prompt, property, quote, refentrytitle, remark, replaceable, returnvalue, tag, shortcut, state, street, structfield, structname, subscript, superscript, surname, symbol, systemitem, tag, termdef, token, trademark, type, uri, userinput, varname, and wordasword * Added support for chunking revhistory into separate file (similar to the support for doing same with legalnotice). Patch from Thomas Schraitle. Controlled through new generate.revhistory.link parameter. * l10n.xsl: Made language codes RFC compliant. Added a new boolean config parameter, l10n.lang.value.rfc.compliant. If it is non-zero (the default), any underscore in a language code will be converted to a hyphen in HTML output. If it is zero, the language code will be left as-is. man This release closes out 44 manpages stylesheet bug reports and feature requests. It adds more than 35 new configuration parameters for controlling aspects of man-page output -- including hyphenation and justification, handling of links, conversion of Unicode characters, and contents of man-page headers and footers. * New options for globally disabling/enabling hyphenation and justification: man.justify and man.hyphenate. Note that the default for the both of those is zero (off), because justified text looks good only when it is also hyphenated; to quote the Hyphenation node from the groff info page: Since the odds are not great for finding a set of words, for every output line, which fit nicely on a line without inserting excessive amounts of space between words, `gtroff' hyphenates words so that it can justify lines without inserting too much space between words. The problem is that groff can end up hyphenating a lot of things that you don't want hyphenated (variable names and command names, for example). Keeping both justification and hyphenation disabled ensures that hyphens won't get inserted where you don't want to them, and you don't end up with lines containing excessive amounts of space between words. These default settings run counter to how most existing man pages are formatted. But there are some notable exceptions, such as the perl man pages. * Added parameters for controlling hyphenation of computer inlines, filenames, and URLs. By default, even when hyphenation is enabled (globally), hyphenation is now suppressed for "computer inlines" (currently, just classname, constant, envar, errorcode, option, replaceable, userinput, type, and varname, and for filenames, and for URLs from link. It can be (re)enabled using the man.hyphenate.computer.inlines, man.hyphenate.filenames, and man.hyphenate.urls parameters. * Implemented a new system for replacing Unicode characters. There are two parts to the new system: a string substitution map for doing essential replacements, and a character map that can optionally be disabled and enabled. The new system fixes all open bugs that had to do with literal Unicode numbered entities such as “ and ” showing up in output, and greatly expands the ability of the stylesheets to generate good roff equivalents for Unicode symbols and special characters. Here are some details... The previous manpages mechanism for replacing Unicode symbols and special characters with roff equivalents (the replace-entities template) was not scalable and not complete. The mechanism handled a somewhat arbitrary selection of less than 20 or so Unicode characters. But there are potentially more than 800 Unicode special characters that have some groff equivalent they can be mapped to. And there are about 34 symbols in the Latin-1 (ISO-8859-1) block alone. Users might reasonably expect that if they include any of those Latin-1 characters in their DocBook source documents, they will get correctly converted to known roff equivalents in output. In addition to those common symbols, certain users may have a need to use symbols from other Unicode blocks. Say, somebody who is documenting an application related to math might need to use a bunch of symbols from the Mathematical Operators Unicode block (there are about 65 characters in that block that have reasonable roff equivalents). Or somebody else might really like Dingbats -- such as the checkmark character -- and so might use a bunch of things from the Dingbat block (141 characters in that that have roff equivalents or that can at least be degraded somewhat gracefully into roff). So, the old replace-entities mechanism was replaced with a completely different mechanism that is based on use of two maps: a substitution map and a character map (the latter in a format compliant with the XSLT 2.0 spec and therefore completely forward compatible with XSLT 2.0). The substitution map is controlled through the man.string.subst.map parameter, and is used to replace things like the backslash character (which needs special handling to prevent it from being interpreted as a roff escape). The substitution map cannot be disabled, because disabling it will cause the output to be broken. However, you can add to it and change it if needed. The character map mechanism, on the other hand, can be completely disabled. It is enabled by default, and, by default, does replacement of all Latin-1 symbols, along with most special spaces, dashes, and quotes (about 75 characters by default). Also, you can optionally enable a full character map that provides support for converting all 800 or so of the characters that have some reasonable groff equivalent. The character-map mechanism is controlled through the following parameters: man.charmap.enabled turns character-map support on/off man.charmap.use.subset specifies that a subset of the character map is used instead of the full map man.charmap.subset.profile specifies profile of character-map subset man.charmap.uri specifies an alternate character map to use instead of the standard character map provided in the distribution * Implemented out-of-line handling of display of URLs for links (currently, only for ulink). This gives you three choices for handling of links: 1. Number and list links. Each link is numbered inline, with a number in square brackets preceding the link contents, and a numbered list of all links is added to the end of the document. 2. Only list links. Links are not numbered, but an (unnumbered) list of links is added to the end of the document. 3. Suppress links. Don't number links and don't add any list of links to the end of the document. You can also choose whether links should be underlined. The default is the works -- list, number, and underline links. You can use the man.links.list.enabled, man.links.are.numbered, and man.links.are.underlined parameters to change the defaults. The default heading for the link list is REFERENCES. You can be change that using the man.links.list.heading parameter. * Changed default output encoding to UTF-8. This does not mean that man pages are output in raw UTF-8, because the character map is applied before final output, causing all UTF-8 characters covered in the map to be converted to roff equivalents. * Added support for processing refsect3 and formalpara and nested refsection elements, down to any arbitrary level of nesting. * Output of the NAME and SYNOPSIS and AUTHOR headings and the headings for admonitions (note, caution, etc.) are no longer hard-coded for English. Instead, headings are generated for those in the correct locale (just as the FO and HTML stylesheets do). * Re-worked mechanism for assembling page headers/footers (the contents of the .TH macro title line). Here are some details... All man pages contain a .TH roff macro whose contents are used for rendering the title line displayed in the header and footer of each page. Here are a couple of examples of real-world man pages that have useful page headers/footers: gtk-options(7) GTK+ User's Manual gtk-options(7) <-- header GTK+ 1.2 2003-10-20 gtk-options(7) <-- footer svgalib(7) Svgalib User Manual svgalib(7) <-- header Svgalib 1.4.1 16 December 1999 svgalib(7) <-- footer And here are the terms with which the groff_man(7) man page refers to the various parts of the header/footer: title(section) extra3 title(section) <- header extra2 extra1 title(section) <- footer Or, using the names with which the man(7) man page refers to those same fields: title(section) manual title(section) <- page header source date title(section) <- page footer The easiest way to control the contents of those fields is to mark up your refentry content like the following (note that this is a minimal example). 2003-10-20 1 gtk-options 2 7 3 GTK+ 4 1.2 5 GTK+ User's Manual 6 gtk-options Standard Command Line Options for GTK+ Programs Description This manual page describes the command line options, which are common to all GTK+ based applications. 1 Sets the date part of the header/footer. 2 Sets the title part. 3 Sets the section part. 4 Sets the source name part. 5 Sets the version part. 6 Sets the manual part. Below are explanations of the steps the stylesheets take to attempt to assemble and display good headers and footer. [In the descriptions, note that *info is the refentry info child (whatever its name), and parentinfo is the info child of its parent (again, whatever its name).] extra1 field (date) Content of the extra1 field is what shows up in the center footer position of each page. The man(7) man page describes it as the date of the last revision. To provide this content, if the refentry.date.profile.enabled is non-zero, the stylesheets check the value of refentry.date.profile. Otherwise, by default, they check for a date or pubdate not only in the *info contents, but also in the parentinfo contents. If a date cannot be found, the stylesheets now automatically generate a localized long format date, ensuring that this field always has content in output. However, if for some reason you want to suppress this field, you can do so by setting a non-zero value for man.th.extra1.suppress. extra2 field (source) On Linux systems and on systems with a modern groff, the content of the extra2 field are what shows up in the left footer position of each page. The man(7) man page describes this as the source of the command, and provides the following examples: o For binaries, use somwething like: GNU, NET-2, SLS Distribution, MCC Distribution. o For system calls, use the version of the kernel that you are currently looking at: Linux 0.99.11. o For library calls, use the source of the function: GNU, BSD 4.3, Linux DLL 4.4.1. In practice, there are many pages that simply have a version number in the source field. So, it looks like what we have is a two-part field, Name Version, where: Name product name (e.g., BSD) or org. name (e.g., GNU) Version version name Each part is optional. If the Name is a product name, then the Version is probably the version of the product. Or there may be no Name, in which case, if there is a Version, it is probably the version of the item itself, not the product it is part of. Or, if the Name is an organization name, then there probably will be no Version. To provide this content, if the refentry.source.name.profile.enabled and refentry.version.profile.enabled parameter are non-zero, the stylesheets check the value of refentry.source.name.profile refentry.version.profile. Otherwise, by default, they check the following places, in the following order: 1. *info/productnumber 2. *info/productnumber 3. refmeta/refmiscinfo[@class = 'version'] 4. parentinfo/productnumber 5. *info/productname 6. parentinfo/productname 7. refmeta/refmiscinfo 8. [nothing found, so leave it empty] extra3 field On Linux systems and on systems with a modern groff, the content of the extra3 field are what shows up in the center header position of each page. Some man pages have extra2 content, some don't. If a particular man page has it, it is most often context data about some larger system the documented item belongs to (for example, the name or description of a group of related applications). The stylesheets now check the following places, in the following order, to look for content to add to the extra3 field. 1. parentinfo/title 2. parent's title 3. refmeta/refmiscinfo 4. [nothing found, so leave it empty] * Reworked *info gathering. For each refentry found, the stylesheets now cache its *info content, then check for any valid parent of it that might have metainfo content and cache that, if found; they then then do all further matches against those node-sets (rather than re-selecting the original *info nodes each time they are needed). * New option for breaking strings after forward slashes. This enables long URLs and pathnames to be broken across lines. Controlled through man.break.after.slash parameter. * Output for servicemark and trademark are now (SM) and (TM). There is a groff "\(tm" escape, but output from that is not acceptable. * New option for controlling the length of the title part of the .TH title line. Controlled through the man.th.title.max.length parameter. * New option for specifying output encoding of each man page; controlled with man.output.encoding (similar to the HTML chunker.output.encoding parameter). * New option for suppressing filename messages when generating output; controlled with man.output.quietly (similar to the HTML chunk.quietly parameter). * The text of cross-references to first-level refentry (refsect1, top-level refsection, refnamediv, and refsynopsisdiv) are now capitalized. * Cross-references to refnamediv now use the localized NAME title instead of using the first refname child. This makes the output inconsistent with HTML and FO output, but for man-page output, it seems to make better sense to have the NAME. (It may actually make better sense to do it that way in HTML and FO output as well...) * Added support for processing funcparams. * Removed the space that was being output between funcdef and paramdef; example: was: float rand (void); now: float rand(void) * Turned off bold formatting for the type element when it occurs within a funcdef or paramdef * Corrected rendering of simplelist. Any Invoke Saxon with the encoding.windows-1252 Java system property set to com.nwalsh.saxon.Windows1252; for example java \ -Dencoding.windows-1252=com.nwalsh.saxon.Windows1252 \ com.icl.saxon.StyleSheet \ mydoc.xml mystylesheet.xsl Or, for a more complete "real world" case showing other options you'll typically want to use: java \ -Dencoding.windows-1252=com.nwalsh.saxon.Windows1252 \ -Djavax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory=org.apache.xerces.jaxp.DocumentBuilderFactoryImpl \ -Djavax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory=org.apache.xerces.jaxp.SAXParserFactoryImpl \ -Djavax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory=com.icl.saxon.TransformerFactoryImpl \ com.icl.saxon.StyleSheet \ -x org.apache.xml.resolver.tools.ResolvingXMLReader \ -y org.apache.xml.resolver.tools.ResolvingXMLReader \ -r org.apache.xml.resolver.tools.CatalogResolver \ mydoc.xml mystylesheet.xsl In both cases, the "mystylesheet.xsl" file should be a DocBook customization layer containing the parameters show in step 2. * Saxon extensions: Removed Saxon 8 extensions from release package Release 1.67.0 * A number of important bug fixes. * Added Saxon8 extensions * Enabled dbfo table-width on entrytbl in FO output * Added support for role=strong on emphasis in FO output * Added new FO parameter hyphenate.verbatim that can be used to turn on "intelligent" wrapping of verbatim environments. * Replaced all output with * Changed admon.graphic.width template to a mode so that different admonitions can have different graphical widths. * Deprecated the HTML shade.verbatim parameter (use CSS instead) * Wrapped ToC refentrytitle/refname and refpurpose in span with class values. This makes it possible to style them using a CSS stylesheet. * Use strong/em instead of b/i in HTML output * Added support for converting Emphasis to groff italic and Emphasis role='bold' to bold. Controlled by emphasis.propagates.style param, but not documented yet using litprog system. Will do that next (planning to add some other parameter-controllable options for hyphenation and handling of line spacing). * callout.graphics.number.limit.xml param: Changed the default from 10 to 15. * verbatim.properties: Added hyphenate=false * Saxon and Xalan Text.java extensions: Added support for URIResolver() on insertfile href's * Added generated RELEASE-NOTES.txt file. * Added INSTALL file (executable file for generating catalog.xml) * Removed obsolete tools directory from package Release 1.66.1 * A number of important bug fixes. * Now xml:base attributes that are generated by an XInclude processor are resolved for image files. * Rewrote olink templates to support several new features. o Extended full olink support to FO output. o Add support for xrefstyle attribute in olinks. o New parameters to support new olink features: insert.olink.page.number , insert.olink.pdf.frag, olink.debug, olink.lang.fallback.sequence, olink.properties, prefer.internal.olink. See the reference page for each parameter for more information. * Added index.on.type parameter for new type attribute introduced in DocBook 4.3 for indexterms and index. This allows you to create multiple indices containing different categories of entries. For users of 4.2 and earlier, you can use the new parameter index.on.role instead. * Added new section.autolabel.max.depth parameter to turn off section numbering below a certain depth. This permits you to number major section levels and leave minor section levels unnumbered. * Added footnote.sep.leader.properties attribute set to format the line separating footnotes in printed output. * Added parameter img.src.path as a prefix to HTML img src attributes. The prefix is added to whatever path is already generated by the stylesheet for each image file. * Added new attribute-sets informalequation.properties, informalexample.properties, informalfigure.properties, and informaltable.properties, so each such element type can be formatted individually if needed. * Add component.label.includes.part.label parameter to add any part number to chapter, appendix and other component labels when the label.from.part parameter is nonzero. This permits you to distinguish multiple chapters with the same chapter number in cross references and the TOC. * Added chunk.separate.lots parameter for HTML output. This parameter lets you generate separate chunk files for each LOT (list of tables, list of figures, etc.). * Added several table features: o Added table.table.properties attribute set to add properties to the fo:table element. o Added placeholder templates named table.cell.properties and table.cell.block.properties to enable adding properties to any fo:table-cell or the cell's fo:block, respectively. These templates are a start for implementing table styles. * Added new attribute set component.title.properties for easy modifications of component's title formatting in FO output. * Added Saxon support for an encoding attribute on the textdata element. Added new parameter textdata.default.encoding which specifies encoding when encoding attribute on textdata is missing. * Template label.this.section now controls whole section label, not only sub-label which corresponds to particular label. Former behaviour was IMHO bug as it was not usable. * Formatting in titleabbrev for TOC and headers is preserved when there are no hotlink elements in the title. Formerly the title showed only the text of the title, no font changes or other markup. * Added intial.page.number template to set the initial-page-number property for page sequences in print output. Customizing this template lets you change when page numbering restarts. This is similar to the format.page.number template that lets you change how the page number formatting changes in the output. * Added force.page.count template to set the force-page-count property for page sequences in print output. This is similar to the format.page.number template. * Sort language for localized index sorting in autoidx-ng.xsl is now taken from document lang, not from system environment. * Numbering and formatting of normal and ulink footnotes (if turned on) has been unified. Now ulink footnotes are mixed in with any other footnotes. * Added support for renderas attribute in section and sect1 et al. This permits you to render a given section title as if it were a different level. * Added support for label attribute in footnote to manually supply the footnote mark. * Added support for DocBook 4.3 corpcredit element. * Added support for a dbfo keep-together PI for formal objects (table, figure, example, equation, programlisting). That permits a formal object to be kept together if it is not already, or to be broken if it is very long and the default keep-together is not appropriate. * For graphics files, made file extension matching case insensitive, and updated the list of graphics extensions. * Allow calloutlist to have block content before the first callout * Added dbfo-need processing instruction to provide soft page breaks. * Added implementation of existing but unused default.image.width parameter for graphics. * Support DocBook NG tag inline element. * It appears that XEP now supports Unicode characters in bookmarks. There is no further need to strip accents from characters. * Make segmentedlist HTML markup more semantic and available to CSS styles. * Added user.preroot placeholder template to permit xsl-stylesheet and other PIs and comments to be output before the HTML root element. * Non-chunked legalnotice now gets an element in HTML output so it can be referenced with xref or link. * In chunked HTML output, changed link rel="home" to rel="start", and link rel="previous" to rel="prev", per W3C HTML 4.01 spec. * Added several patches to htmlhelp from W. Borgert * Added Bosnian locale file as common/bs.xml. Release 1.65.0 * A number of important bug fixes. * Added a workaround to allow these stylesheets to process DocBook NG documents. (Its a hack that pre-processes the document to strip off the namespace and then uses exsl:node-set to process the result.) * Added alternative indexing mechanism which has better internationalization support. New indexing method allows grouping of accented letters like e, , into the same group under letter "e". It can also treat special letters (e.g. "ch") as one character and place them in the correct position (e.g. between "h" and "i" in Czech language). In order to use this mechanism you must create customization layer which imports some base stylesheet (like fo/docbook.xsl, html/chunk.xsl) and then includes appropriate stylesheet with new indexing code (fo/autoidx-ng.xsl or html/autoidx-ng.xsl). For example: New method is known to work with Saxon and it should also work with xsltproc 1.1.1 and later. Currently supported languages are English, Czech, German, French, Spanish and Danish. Release 1.64.1 General bug fixes and improvements. Sorry about the failure to produce an updated release notes file for 1.62.01.63.2 * In the course of fixing bug #849787, wrapping Unicode callouts with an appropriate font change in the Xalan extensions, I discovered that the Xalan APIs have changed a bit. So xalan2.jar will work with older Xalan 2 implementations, xalan25.jar works with Xalan 2.5. Release 1.61.0 Lots of bug fixes and improvements. * Initial support for timestamp PI. From now you can use to get current datetime in your document. Added localization support for datetime PI * Added level 6 to test for section depth in section.level template so that section.title.level6.properties will be used for sections that are 6 deep or deeper. This should also cause a h6 to be created in html output. * Don't use SVG graphics if use.svg=0 * Now uses number-and-title-template for sections only if section.autolabel is not zero. * Added missing 'english-language-name' attribute to the l10n element, and the missing 'style' attribute to the template element so the current gentext documents will validate. * Corrected several references to parameter qanda.defaultlabel that were missing the "$". * Now accepts admon.textlabel parameter to turn off Note, Warning, etc. label. * FeatReq #684561: support more XEP metadata * Added hyphenation support. Added support for coref. Added beginpage support. (does nothing; see TDG). * Added support for hyphenation-character, hyphenation-push-character-count, and hyphenation-remain-character-count * Added root.properties, ebnf.assignment, and ebnf.statement.terminator * Support bgcolor PI in table cells; make sure rowsep and colsep don't have any effect on the last row or column * Handle othercredit on titlepage a little better * Applied fix from Jeff Beal that fixed the bug that put secondary page numbers on primary entries. Same with tertiary page numbers on secondary entries. * Added definition of missing variable collection. * Make footnote formatting 'normal' even when it occurs in a context that has special formatting * Added warning when glossary.collection is not blank, but it cannot open the specified file. * Pick up the frame attribute on table and informaltable. * indexdiv/title in non-autogenerated indexes are now picked up. * Removed (unused) component.title.properties * Move IDs from page-sequences down to titlepage blocks * Use proportional-column-width(1) on more tables. Use proportional-column-width() for header/footer tables; suppress relative-align when when using FOP * Check for glossterm.auto.link when linking firstterms; don't output gl. prefix on glossterm links * Generate Part ToCs * Support glossary, bibliography, and index in component ToCs. * Refactored chunking code so that customization of chunk algorithm and chunk elements is more practical * Support textobject/phrase on inlinemediaobject. * Support 'start' PI on ordered lists * Fixed test of $toc PI to turn on qandaset TOC. * Added process.chunk.footnotes to sect2 through 5 to fix bug of missing footnotes when chunk level greater than 1. * Added paramater toc.max.depth which controls maximal depth of ToC as requested by PHP-DOC group. * Exempted titleabbrev from preamble processing in lists, and fixed variablelist preamble code to use the same syntax as the other lists. * Added support for elements between variablelist and first varlistentry since DocBook 4.2 supports that now. Release 1.60.1 Lots of bug fixes. * The format of the titlepage.templates.xml files and the stylesheet that transforms them have been significantly changed. All of the attributes used to control the templates are now namespace qualified. So what used to be: is now: Attributes from other namespaces (including those that are unqualified) are now copied directly through. In practice, this means that the names that used to be fo: qualified: are now unqualified: <title t:named-template="component.title" param:node="ancestor-or-self::article[1]" text-align="center" keep-with-next="always" font-size="&hsize5;" font-weight="bold" font-family="{$title.font.family}"/> The t:titlepage and t:titlepage-content elements both generate wrappers now. And unqualified attributes on those elements are passed through. This means that you can now make the title font apply to ane entire titlepage and make the entire recto titlepage centered by specifying the font and alignment on the those elements: <t:titlepage t:element="article" t:wrapper="fo:block" font-family="{$title.font.family}"> <t:titlepage-content t:side="recto" text-align="center"> * Support use of titleabbrev in running headers and footers. * Added (experimental) xref.with.number.and.title parameter to enable number/title cross references even when the default would be just the number. * Generate part ToCs if they're requested. * Use proportional-column-width() in header/footer tables. * Handle alignment correctly when screenshot wraps a graphic in a figure. * Format chapter and appendix cross references consistently. * Attempt to support tables with multiple tgroups in FO. * Output fo:table-columns in simplelist tables. * Use titlepage.templates.xml for indexdiv and glossdiv formatting. * Improve support for new bibliography elements. * Added footnote.number.format, table.footnote.number.format, footnote.number.symbols, and table.footnote.number.symbols for better control of footnote markers. * Added glossentry.show.acronyms. * Suppress the draft-mode page masters when draft-mode is no. * Make blank pages verso not recto. D'Oh! * Improved formatting of ulink footnotes. * Fixed bugs in graphic width/height calculations. * Added class attributes to inline elements. * Don't add .html to the filenames identified with the dbhtml PI. * Don't force a ToC when sections contain refentrys. * Make section title sizes a function of the body.master.size. Release 1.59.2 The 1.59.2 fixes an FO bug in the page masters that causes FOP to fail. * Removed the region-name from the region-body of blank pages. There's no reason to give the body of blank pages a unique name and doing so causes a mismatch that FOP detects. * Output IDs for the first paragraphs in listitems. * Fixed some small bugs in the handling of page numbers in double-sided mode. * Attempt to prevent duplicated IDs from being produced when endterm on xref points to something with nested structure. * Fix aligment problems in equations. * Output the type attribute on unordered lists (UL) in HTML only if the css.decoration parameter is true. * Calculate the font size in formal.title.properties so that it's 1.2 times the base font size, not a fixed "12pt". Release 1.59.1 The 1.59.1 fixes a few bugs. * Added Bulgarian localization. * Indexing improvements; localize book indexes to books but allow setindex to index an entire set. * The default value for rowsep and colsep is now "1" as per CALS. * Added support for titleabbrev (use them for cross references). * Improvements to mediaobject for selecting print vs. online images. * Added seperate property sets for figures, examples, equations, tabless, and procedures. * Make lineannotations italic. * Support xrefstyle attribute. * Make endterm on xref higher priority than xreflabel target. * Glossary formatting improvements. Release 1.58.0 The 1.58.0 adds some initial support for extensions in xsltproc, adds a few features, and fixes bugs. * This release contains the first attempt at extension support for xsltproc. The only extension available to date is the one that adjusts table column widths. Run extensions/xsltproc/python/xslt.py. * Fixed bugs in calculation of adjusted column widths to correct for rounding errors. * Support nested refsection elements correctly. * Reworked gentext.template to take context into consideration. The name of elements in localization files is now an xpath-like context list, not just a simple name. * Made some improvements to bibliography formatting. * Improved graphical formatting of admonitions. * Added support for entrytbl. * Support spanning index terms. * Support bibliosource. Release 1.57.0 * The 1.57.0 release wasn't documented here. Oops. Release 1.56.0 The 1.56.0 release fixes bugs. * Reworked chunking. This will break all existing customizations layers that change the chunking algorithm. If you're customizing chunking, look at the new content parameter that's passed to process-chunk-element and friends. * Support continued and inherited numeration in orderedlist formatting for FOs. * Added Thai localization. * Tweaked stylesheet documentation stylesheets to link to TDG and the parameter references. * Allow title on tables of contents ("Table of Contents") to be optional. Added new keyword to generate.toc. Support tables of contents on sections. * Made separate parameters for table borders and table cell borders: table.frame.border.color, table.frame.border.style, table.frame.border.thickness, table.cell.border.color, table.cell.border.style, and table.cell.border.thickness. * Suppress formatting of endofrange indexterms. This is only half-right. They should generate a range, but I haven't figured out how to do that yet. * Support revdescription. (Bug #582192) * Added default.float.class and fixed figure floats. (Bug #497603) * Fixed formatting of sbr in FOs. * Added context to the missing template error message. * Process arg correctly in a group. (Bug #605150) * Removed 'keep-with-next' from formal.title.properties attribute set now that the stylesheets support the option of putting such titles below the object. Now the $placement value determines if 'keep-with-next' or 'keep-with-previous' is used in the title block. * Wrap url() around external-destinations when appropriate. * Fixed typo in compact list spacing. (Bug #615464) * Removed spurious hash in anchor name. (Bug #617717) * Address is now displayed verbatim on title pages. (Bug #618600) * The bridgehead.in.toc parameter is now properly supported. * Improved effectiveness of HTML cleanup by increasing the number of places where it is used. Improve use of HTML cleanup in XHTML stylesheets. * Support table of contents for appendix in article. (Bug #596599) * Don't duplicate footnotes in bibliographys and glossarys. (Bug #583282) * Added default.image.width. (Bug #516859) * Totally reworked funcsynopsis code; it now supports a 'tabular' presentation style for 'wide' prototypes; see funcsynopsis.tabular.threshold. (HTML only right now, I think, FO support, uh, real soon now.) * Reworked support for difference marking; toned down the colors a bit and added a system.head.content template so that the diff CSS wasn't overriding user.head.content. (Bug #610660) * Added call to the *.head.content elements when writing out long description chunks. * Make sure legalnotice link is correct even when chunking to a different base.dir. * Use CSS to set viewport characteristics if css.decoration is non-zero, use div instead of p for making graphic a block element; make figure titles the default alt text for images in a figure. * Added space-after to list.block.spacing. * Reworked section.level template to give correct answer instead of being off by one. * When processing tables, use the tabstyle attribute as the division class. * Fixed bug in html2xhtml.xsl that was causing the XHTML chunker to output HTML instead of XHTML.
