Release Notes

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

Support DBv5 revisions with full author name (not only authorinitials)

Modified: html/block.xsl,1.23; html/titlepage.xsl,1.34 - Jirka Kosek

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

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

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 <xsl:template match="/"> 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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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:

<link rel="copyright" href="ln-id2524073.html" title="Legal Notice">

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

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 <div class="{$class}-contents"> wrapper around output of contents of all formal objects. Also, added an optional <br class="{class}-break"/> 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.

<div class="equation"> <a name="three" id="three"></a>

<p class="title"><b>(1.3)</b></p>

<div class="equation-contents"> <span class="mathphrase">1+1=3</span> </div> </div><br class="equation-break">

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.

Added "wrapper-name" param to inline.charseq named template, enabling it to output inlines other than just "span". 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

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.

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.

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: 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.

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.

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 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.

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 ;-).

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:

<link rel="copyright" href="ln-id2524073.html" title="Legal Notice">

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: params/index.number.separator.xml,1.1; params/index.range.separator.xml,1.1; params/index.term.separator.xml,1.1 - Robert Stayton

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.

Convert 'no' to string in default value.

Modified: params/olink.doctitle.xml,1.4 - 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.

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

Profiling now works together with namespace stripping (V5 documents). Namespace striping should work with all stylesheets named profile-, even if they are not supporting namespace stripping in a non-profiling variant.

Modified: profiling/profile-mode.xsl,1.4; profiling/xsl2profile.xsl,1.7 - Jirka Kosek

Moved profiling stage out of templates. This make possible to reuse profiled content by several templates and still maintaing node indentity (needed for example for HTML Help where content is processed multiple times).

I don't know why this was not on the top level before. Maybe some XSLT processors choked on it. I hope this will be OK now.

This release adds localizations for the following languages: Albanian, Amharic, Azerbaijani, Hindi, Irish (Gaelic), Gujarati, Kannada, Mongolian, Oriya, Punjabi, Tagalog, Tamil, and Welsh.

Added support for specifying number format for auto labels for chapter, appendix, part, and preface. Contolled with the appendix.autolabel, chapter.autolabel, part.autolabel, and preface.autolabel parameters.

Added basic support for biblioref cross referencing.

Added support for align on caption in mediaobject.

Added support for processing documents that use the DocBook V5 namespace.

Added support for termdef and mathphrase.

EXPERIMENTAL: Incorporated the Slides and Website stylesheets into the DocBook XSL stylesheets package. So, for example, Website documents can now be processed using the following URI for the driver Website tabular.xsl file:

http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/website/tabular.xsl

A procedure without a title is now treated as an “informal” procedure (meaning that it is not added to any generated “list of procedures” and has no affect on numbering of generated labels for other procedures).

docname is no longer added to olink when pointing to a root element.

Added support for generation of choice separator in inline simplelist. This enables auto-generation of an appropriate localized “choice separator” (for example, “and” or “or”) before the final item in an inline simplelist.

To indicate that you want a choice separator generated for a particular list, you need to put a processing instruction (PI) of the form <?dbchoice choice="foo"?> as a child of the list. For example:

  <para>Choose from
  ONE and ONLY ONE of the following: 
  <simplelist type="inline">
  <?dbchoice choice="or" ?>
  <member>A</member>
  <member>B</member>
  <member>C</member>.</simplelist></para>

Output (for English):

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: <?dbchoice choice="ou">. That is, use “ou” instead of “or”.

Added content-type property to external-graphic element, based on imagedata format attribute.

Added support for generating <rx:meta-field creator="$VERSION"/> 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.

Eclipse Help: Added support for generating olink database.

Added a first cut at support in HTML output for DocBook 5 style annotations. 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 <?img.src.path?> 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.

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:

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 &#8220; and &#8221; 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:

Implemented out-of-line handling of display of URLs for links (currently, only for ulink). This gives you three choices for handling of links:

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).

  <refentry>
    <info>
      <date>2003-10-20</date> 
    </info>
    <refmeta>
      <refentrytitle>gtk-options</refentrytitle> 
      <manvolnum>7</manvolnum> 
      <refmiscinfo class="source-name">GTK+</refmiscinfo> 
      <refmiscinfo class="version">1.2</refmiscinfo> 
      <refmiscinfo class="manual">GTK+ User's Manual</refmiscinfo> 
    </refmeta>
    <refnamediv>
      <refname>gtk-options</refname>
      <refpurpose>Standard Command Line Options for GTK+ Programs</refpurpose>
    </refnamediv>
    <refsect1>
      <title>Description</title>
      <para>This manual page describes the command line options, which
      are common to all GTK+ based applications.</para>
    </refsect1>
  </refentry>

	Sets the “date” part of the header/footer.
	Sets the “title” part.
	Sets the “section” part.
	Sets the “source name” part.
	Sets the “version” part.
	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).]

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 <simplelist type="inline" instance is now rendered as a comma-separated list (also with an optional localized “and” or “or” before the last item -- see description elsewhere in these release notes). Any simplelist instance whose type is not inline is rendered as a one-column vertical list (ignoring the values of the type and columns attributes if present)

Comment added at top of roff source for each page now includes DocBook XSL stylesheets version number (as in the HTML stylesheets)

Made change to prevent “sticky” fonts changes. Now, when the manpages stylesheets encounter node sets that need to be boldfaced or italicized, they put the \fBfoo\fR and \fIbar\fR groff bold/italic instructions separately around each node in the set.

synop.xsl: Boldface everything in funcsynopsis output except parameters (which are in ital). The man(7) man page says:

A look through the contents of the man/man2 directory shows that most (all) existing pages do follow this “everything in funcsynopsis bold” rule. That means the type content and any punctuation (parens, semicolons, varargs) also must be bolded.

Removed code for adding backslashes before periods/dots in roff source, because backslashes in front of periods/dots in roff source are needed only in the very rare case where a period is the very first character in a line, without any space in front of it. A better way to deal with that rare case is for you to add a zero-width space in front of the offending dot(s) in your source

Removed special handling of the quote element. That was hard-coded to cause anything marked up with the quote element to be output preceded by two backticks and followed by two apostrophes -- that is, that old-school kludge for generating “curly” quotes in Emacs and in X-Windows fonts. While Emacs still seems to support that, I don't think X-Windows has for a long time now. And, anyway, it looks (and has always looked) like crap when viewed on a normal tty/console. In addition, it breaks localiztion of quote. By default, quote content is output with localized quotation marks, which, depending on the locale, may or may not be left and right double quotation marks.

Changed mappings for left and right single quotation marks. Those had previously been incorrectly mapped to the backtick (&#96;) and apostrophe (&39;) characters (for kludgy reasons -- see above). They are now correctly mapped to the \(oq and \(cq roff escapes. If you want the old (broken) behavior, you need to manually change the mappings for those in the value of the man.string.subst.map parameter.

Removed xref.xsl file. Now, of the various cross-reference elements, only the ulink element is handled differently; the rest are handled exactly as the HTML stylesheets handle them, except that no hypertext links are generated. (Because there is no equivalent hypertext mechanism is man pages.)

New option for making “subheading dividers” in generated roff source. The dividers are not visible in the rendered man page; they are just there to make the source readable. Controlled using man.subheading.divider.

Fixed many places where too much space was being added between lines.
