This release-notes document is available in the following formats: HTML, PDF,
plain text; it provides a per-release list of enhancements and changes to the
stylesheets’ public APIs (user-configurable parameters) and excludes
descriptions of most 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. Also available: An online hyperlinked
change history (warning: big file) of all changes made over the entire history
of the codebase.
As with all DocBook Project “dot one plus” releases, this release aspires to be
stable (in contrast to dot-zero releases, which are experimental).

sf.net #2642139).
Epub

partintro.xml; docbook.x⋯
Adding support for partintros with sect2s, 3s, etc
● Keith Fahlgren: docbook.xsl

● Keith Fahlgren: bin/spec/epub_regressions_spec.rb
Remove <b> and <i> elements "discouraged in favor of style sheets" from
XHTML, XHTML 1.1 (and therefore EPUB) outputs by changing html2xhtml.xsl.
Fixes bug #2873153: No <b> and <i> tags in XHTML/EPUB
Added regression to EPUB specs:
● Keith Fahlgren: bin/lib/docbook.rb; bin/spec/files/DejaVuSerif-Italic.otf;
docbook.xsl; bi⋯
This resolves bug #2873142, Please add support for multiple embedded fonts
If you navigate to a checkout of DocBook-XSL and go to:
xsl/epub/bin/spec/files
You can now run the following command:
../../dbtoepub -f DejaVuSerif.otf -f DejaVuSerif-Italic.otf -c test.css
-s test_cust.xsl orm.book.001.xml
In dbtoepub, the following option can be used more than once:
-f, --font [OTF FILE] Embed OTF FILE in .epub.
The underlying stylesheet now accepts a comma-separated list of font file
names rather than just one as the RENAMED epub.embedded.fonts ('s' added).
The runnable EPUB spec now includes:
- should be valid .epub after including more than one embedded font
● Keith Fahlgren: docbook.xsl
Improve the selection of cover images when working in DocBook 4.x land (work in progress)
● Keith Fahlgren: bin/spec/epub_regressions_spec.rb; docbook.xsl

elements for deeply nested refentries are in order and adjacent to their
opening wrapper XHTML chunk.
● Keith Fahlgren: bin/spec/epub_regressions_spec.rb; docbook.xsl; bin/spec/
files/orm.book.00⋯
Add more careful handling of refentries to ensure that they always appear in the opf:spine.
This was only a problem when refentries were pushed deep into the hierarchy (like inside
a sect2), but presented navigational problems for many reading systems (despite the
correct NCX references). This may *not* be the best solution, but attacking a better
chunking strategy for refentries was too big a nut to crack at this time.
Eclipse
The following changes have been made to the eclipse code since the 1.75.2
release.
● Mauritz Jeanson: eclipse3.xsl
Added a stylesheet module that generates plug-ins conforming to the standard (OSGi-based) Eclipse 3.x
architecture. The main difference to the older format is that metadata is stored in a separate
manifest file. The module imports and extends the existing eclipse.xsl module. Based on code
contributed in patch #2624668.

purpose is to explicitly tell AT&T troff that the page needs to be
pre-processed through tbl(1); groff can figure it out
automatically, but apparently AT&T troff needs to be explicitly told
ePub
The following changes have been made to the epub code since the 1.74.0 release.
● Keith Fahlgren: docbook.xsl
Patch from Paul Norton of Adobe to get covers to look better in Adobe Digital Editions
● Keith Fahlgren: bin/spec/epub_regressions_spec.rb; bin/spec/files/
v5cover.xml; bin/spec/sp⋯
Patch contributed by Liza Daly to make ePub cover handling more generic. Additionally
DocBook 5.0's <cover> now has some limited support:
- should reference a cover in the OPF guide for a DocBook 5.0 test document
● Keith Fahlgren: bin/spec/files/isbn.xml; bin/spec/files/issn.xml; bin/spec/
files/biblioid.⋯
Liza Daly reported that the dc:identifer-generation code was garbage (she was right).
Added new tests:
- should include at least one dc:identifier
- should include an ISBN as URN for dc:identifier if an ISBN was in the metadata
- should include an ISSN as URN for dc:identifier if an ISSN was in the metadata
- should include an biblioid as a dc:identifier if an biblioid was in the metadata
- should include a URN for a biblioid with @class attribute as a dc:identifier if an biblioid was in the metadata
● Keith Fahlgren: docbook.xsl; bin/spec/epub_spec.rb
Improve both SEO and semantic structure of chunked ePub output by ensuring that
we always send out one and only one h1 in each XHTML chunk.
DocBook::Epub
- should include one and only one <h1> in each HTML file in rendered ePub files
for <book>s
- should include one and only one <h1> in each HTML file in rendered ePub files
for <book>s even if they do not have section markup
● Keith Fahlgren: docbook.xsl; bin/spec/epub_realbook_spec.rb; bin/spec/files
/orm.book.001.x⋯
Adding better support for covers in epub files destined for .mobi and the Kindle
● Keith Fahlgren: bin/dbtoepub; bin/lib/docbook.rb; bin/spec/files/
DejaVuSerif.otf; docbook.⋯
Adding primitive support for embedding a single font
● Keith Fahlgren: bin/dbtoepub; bin/lib/docbook.rb; bin/spec/files/
test_cust.xsl; bin/spec/e⋯
Adding support for user-specified customization layers in dbtoepub
● Keith Fahlgren: bin/dbtoepub; bin/spec/epub_regressions_spec.rb; bin/lib/
docbook.rb; bin/s⋯
Adding CSS support to .epub target & dbtoepub:
-c, --css [FILE] Use FILE for CSS on generated XHTML.
DocBook::Epub
...
- should include a CSS link in HTML files when a CSS file has been provided
- should include CSS file in .epub when a CSS file has been provided
- should include a CSS link in OPF file when a CSS file has been provided
Roundtrip
The following changes have been made to the roundtrip code since the 1.74.0
release.
● Steve Ball: blocks2dbk.xsl; template.xml; template.dot
added support for imagedata-metadata
added support for table as images
● Steve Ball: blocks2dbk.xsl; normalise2sections.xsl; sections2blocks.xsl
Improved support for personname inlines.
● Steve Ball: blocks2dbk.xsl; blocks2dbk.dtd; template.xml
Added support for legalnotice.
● Steve Ball: blocks2dbk.xsl; wordml2normalise.xsl
added support for orgname in author
● Steve Ball: specifications.xml; supported.xml; blocks2dbk.xsl;
wordml2normalise.xsl; dbk2w⋯
Updated specification.
to-DocBook: add cols attribute to tgroup
from-DocBook: fix for blockquote title
Params
The following changes have been made to the params since the 1.74.0 release.
● The change was to add man.output.better.ps.enabled parameter, with its
default value set to zero. If the value of the man.output.better.ps.enabled
parameter is non-zero, certain markup is embedded in each generated man
page such that PostScript output from the man -Tps command for that page
will include a number of enhancements designed to improve the quality of
that output. If man.output.better.ps.enabled is zero (the default), no such
markup is embedded in generated man pages, and no enhancements are included
in the PostScript output generated from those man pages by the man -Tps
command. WARNING: The enhancements provided by this parameter rely on
features that are specific to groff (GNU troff) and that are not part of
"classic" AT&T troff or any of its derivatives. Therefore, any man pages
you generate with this parameter enabled will be readable only on systems
on which the groff (GNU troff) program is installed, such as GNU/Linux
systems. The pages will not not be readable on systems on with the classic
troff (AT&T troff) command is installed. NOTE: The value of this parameter
only affects PostScript output generated from the man command. It has no
effect on output generated using the FO backend. TIP: You can generate
PostScript output for any man page by running the following command: man
FOO -Tps > FOO.ps You can then generate PDF output by running the following
command: ps2pdf FOO.ps
● Robert Stayton: writing.mode.xml
writing mode param used to set text direction.
● Michael(tm) Smith: email.mailto.enabled.xml
Added new param email.mailto.enabled for FO output.
Patch from Paolo Borelli. Closes #2086321.
● Jirka Kosek: highlight.source.xml; highlight.xslthl.config.xml
Upgraded to support the latest version of XSLTHL 2.0
-- nested markup in highlited code is now processed
-- it is no longer needed to specify path XSLTHL configuration file using Java property
-- support for new languages, including Perl, Python and Ruby was added
Highlighting
The following changes have been made to the highlighting code since the 1.74.0
release.
● Jirka Kosek: cpp-hl.xml; c-hl.xml; tcl-hl.xml; php-hl.xml; common.xsl;
perl-hl.xml; delphi⋯
Upgraded to support the latest version of XSLTHL 2.0
-- nested markup in highlited code is now processed
-- it is no longer needed to specify path XSLTHL configuration file using Java property
-- support for new languages, including Perl, Python and Ruby was added
Release Notes: 1.74.0
This release includes important bug fixes and adds the following significant
feature changes:
.epub target
Paul Norton (Adobe) and Keith Fahlgren(O'Reilly Media) have donated code
that generates .epub documents from DocBook input. An alpha-reference
implementation in Ruby has also been provided.
.epub is an open standard of the The International Digital Publishing Forum
(IDPF), a the trade and standards association for the digital publishing
industry.
Read more about this target in epub/README
XHTML 1.1 target
To support .epub output, a strict XHTML 1.1 target has been added. The
stylesheets for this output are generated and are quite similar to the
XHTML target.
Gentext updates
A number of locales have been updated.
Roundtrip improvements
Table, figure, template syncronization, and character style improvements
have been made for WordML & Pages. Support added for OpenOffice.org.
First implementation of a libxslt extension
A stylesheet extension for libxslt, written in Python, has been added. The
extension is a function for adjusting column widths in CALS tables. See
extensions/README.LIBXSLT for more information.
The following is a list of changes that have been made since the 1.73.2
release.
Gentext
The following changes have been made to the gentext code since the 1.73.2
release.
● Michael(tm) Smith: locale/id.xml
Checked in changes to Indonesion locale submitted by Euis Luhuanam a long time ago.
● Michael(tm) Smith: locale/lt.xml
Added changes to Lithuanian locate submitted a long time back by Nikolajus Krauklis.
● Michael(tm) Smith: locale/hu.xml
fixed error in lowercase.alpha definition in Hungarian locale
● Michael(tm) Smith: locale/nb.xml
Corrected language code for nb locale, and restored missing "startquote" key.
● Michael(tm) Smith: locale/ja.xml
Committed changes to ja locale file, from Akagi Kobayashi. Adds bracket quotes around many xref instances that did not have them
before.
● Michael(tm) Smith: Makefile
"no" locale is now "nb"
● Michael(tm) Smith: locale/nb.xml
Update Norwegian Bokmål translation. Thanks to Hans F. Nordhaug.
● Michael(tm) Smith: locale/no.xml; locale/nb.xml
per message from Hans F. Nordhaug, correct identifier for
Norwegian Bokmål is "nb" (not "no") and has been for quite some
time now...
● Michael(tm) Smith: locale/ja.xml
Converted ja.xml source file to use real unicode characters so
that the actual glyphs so up when you edit it in a text editor
(instead of the character references).
● Michael(tm) Smith: locale/ja.xml
Checked in changes to ja.xml locale file. Thanks to Akagi Kobayashi.
● Michael(tm) Smith: locale/it.xml
Changes from Federico Zenith
● Dongsheng Song: locale/zh_cn.xml
Added missing translations.
Common
The following changes have been made to the common code since the 1.73.2
release.
● Michael(tm) Smith: l10n.xsl
Added new template "l10.language.name" for retrieving the
English-language name of the lang setting of the current document.
Closes #1916837. Thanks to Simon Kennedy.
● Michael(tm) Smith: refentry.xsl
fixed syntax error
● Michael(tm) Smith: refentry.xsl
fixed a couple of typos
● Michael(tm) Smith: refentry.xsl
refined handling of cases where refentry "source" or "manual"
metadata is missing or when we use fallback content instead. We
now report a Warning if we use fallback content.
● Michael(tm) Smith: refentry.xsl
don't use refmiscinfo@class=date value as fallback for refentry
"source" or "manual" metadata fields
● Michael(tm) Smith: refentry.xsl
Made reporting of missing refentry metadata more quiet:
- we no longer report anything if usable-but-not-preferred
metadata is found; we just quietly use whatever we manage to
find
- we now only report missing "source" metadata if the refentry
is missing BOTH "source name" and "version" metadata; if it
has one but not the other, we use whichever one it has and
don't report anything as missing
The above changes were made because testing with some "real world"
source reveals that some authors are intentionally choosing to use
"non preferred" markup for some metadata, and also choosing to
omit "source name" or "version" metadata in there DocBook XML. So
it does no good to give them pedantic reminders about what they
already know...
Also, changed code to cause "fixme" text to be inserted in output
in particular cases:
- if we can't manage to find any "source" metadata at all, we
now put fixme text into the output
- if we can't manage to find any "manual" metadata a all, we
now put fixme text into the output
The "source" and "manual" metadata is necessary information, so
buy putting the fixme stuff in the output, we alert users to the
need problem of it being missing.
● Michael(tm) Smith: refentry.xsl
When generating manpages output, we no longer report anything if
the refentry source is missing date or pubdate content. In
practice, many users intentionally omit the date from the source
because they explicitly want it to be generated.
● Michael(tm) Smith: l10n.xml
further change needed for switch from no locale to nb.
● Michael(tm) Smith: common.xsl
Added support for orgname in authorgroup. Thanks to Camille
Bégnis.
● Michael(tm) Smith: Makefile
"no" locale is now "nb"
● Mauritz Jeanson: stripns.xsl
Removed the template matching "ng:link|db:link" (in order to make @xlink:show
work with <link> elements). As far as I can tell, this template is no longer needed.
● Mauritz Jeanson: entities.ent
Moved declaration of comment.block.parents entity to common/entities.ent.
● Mauritz Jeanson: titles.xsl
Added an update the fix made in revision 7528 (handling of xref/link in no.anchor.mode mode).
Having xref in title is not a problem as long as the target is not an ancestor element.
Closes bug #1838136.
Note that an xref that is in a title and whose target is an ancestor element is still not
rendered in the TOC. This could be considered a bug, but on the other hand I cannot really
see the point in having such an xref in a document.
● Mauritz Jeanson: titles.xsl
Added a "not(ancestor::title)" test to work around "too many nested
apply-templates" problems when processing xrefs or links in no.anchor.mode mode.
Hopefully, this closes bug #1811721.
● Mauritz Jeanson: titles.xsl
Removed old template matching "link" in no.anchor.mode mode.
● Mauritz Jeanson: titles.xsl
Process <link> in no.anchor.mode mode with the same template as <xref>.
Closes bug #1759205 (Empty link in no.anchor.mode mode).
● Mauritz Jeanson: titles.xsl
In no.anchor.mode mode, do not output anchors for elements that are descendants
of <title>. Previously, having inline elements with @id/@xml:id in <title>s
resulted in anchors both in the TOC and in the main flow. Closes bug #1797492.
FO
The following changes have been made to the fo code since the 1.73.2 release.
● Mauritz Jeanson: pi.xsl
Updated documentation for keep-together.
● Mauritz Jeanson: task.xsl
Enabled use of the keep-together PI on task elements.
● Robert Stayton: index.xsl
FOP1 requires fo:wrapper for inline index entries, not fo:inline.
● Robert Stayton: index.xsl
Fixed non-working inline.or.block template for indexterm wrappers.
Add fop1 to list of processors using inline.or.block.
● Mauritz Jeanson: table.xsl
Fixed bug #1891965 (colsep in entytbl not working).
● Mauritz Jeanson: titlepage.xsl
Added support for title in revhistory. Closes bug #1842847.
● Mauritz Jeanson: pi.xsl
Small doc cleanup (dbfo float-type).
● Mauritz Jeanson: titlepage.xsl
Insert commas between multiple copyright holders.
● Mauritz Jeanson: autotoc.xsl; division.xsl
Added modifications to support nested set elements. See bug #1853172.
● David Cramer: glossary.xsl
Added normalize-space to xsl:sorts to avoid missorting of glossterms due to stray leading spaces.
● David Cramer: glossary.xsl
Fixed bug #1854199: glossary.xsl should use the sortas attribute on glossentry
● Mauritz Jeanson: inline.xsl
Added a template for citebiblioid. The hyperlink target is the parent of the referenced biblioid,
and the "hot text" is the biblioid itself enclosed in brackets.
● Mauritz Jeanson: inline.xsl
Moved declaration of comment.block.parents entity to common/entities.ent.
● Mauritz Jeanson: docbook.xsl
Updated message about unmatched element.
● Mauritz Jeanson: param.xweb
Added link to profiling chapter of TCG.
● Mauritz Jeanson: refentry.xsl
Fixed typo (refsynopsysdiv -> refsynopsisdiv).
● David Cramer: fop.xsl; fop1.xsl; ptc.xsl; xep.xsl
Added test to check generate.index param when generating pdf bookmarks
● Mauritz Jeanson: graphics.xsl
Added support for MathML in imagedata.
● Michael(tm) Smith: math.xsl
Removed unnecessary extra test condition in test express that
checks for passivetex.
● Michael(tm) Smith: math.xsl
Don't use fo:instream-foreign-object if we are processing with
passivetex. Closes #1806899. Thanks to Justus Piater.
● Mauritz Jeanson: component.xsl
Added code to output a TOC for an appendix in an article when
generate.toc='article/appendix toc'. Closes bug #1669658.
● Dongsheng Song: biblio-iso690.xsl
Change encoding from "windows-1250" to "UTF-8".
● Mauritz Jeanson: pi.xsl
Updated documentation for dbfo_label-width.
● Mauritz Jeanson: lists.xsl
Added support for the dbfo_label-width PI in calloutlists.
● Robert Stayton: biblio.xsl
Support finding glossary database entries inside bibliodivs.
● Robert Stayton: formal.xsl
Complete support for <?dbfo pgwide="1"?> for informal
elements too.
● Mauritz Jeanson: table.xsl
In the table.block template, added a check for the dbfo_keep-together PI, so that
a table may break (depending on the PI value) at a page break. This was needed
since the outer fo:block that surrounds fo:table has keep-together.within-column="always"
by default, which prevents the table from breaking. Closes bug #1740964 (Titled
table does not respect dbfo PI).
● Mauritz Jeanson: pi.xsl
Added a few missing @role="tcg".
● Mauritz Jeanson: inline.xsl
Use normalize-space() in glossterm comparisons (as in html/inline.xsl).
● Mauritz Jeanson: autoidx.xsl
Removed the [&scope;] predicate from the target variable in the template with name="reference".
This filter was the cause of missing index backlinks when @zone and @type were used on indexterms,
with index.on.type=1. Closes bug #1680836.
● Michael(tm) Smith: inline.xsl; xref.xsl; footnote.xsl
Added capability in FO output for displaying URLs for all
hyperlinks (elements marked up with xlink:href attributes) in the
same way as URLs for ulinks are already handled (which is to say,
either inline or as numbered footnotes).
Background on this change:
DocBook 5 allows "ubiquitous" linking, which means you can make
any element a hyperlink just by adding an xlink:href attribute to
it, with the value set to an external URL. That's in contrast to
DocBook 4, which only allows you to use specific elements (e.g.,
the link and ulink elements) to mark up hyperlinks.
The existing FO stylesheets have a mechanism for handling display
of URLs for hyperlinks that are marked up with ulink, but they did
not handle display of URLs for elements that were marked up with
xlink:href attributes. This change adds handling for those other
elements, enabling the URLs they link to be displayed either
inline or as numbered footnotes (depending on what values the user
has the ulink.show and ulink.footnotes params set to).
Note that this change only adds URL display support for elements
that call the simple.xlink template -- which currently is most
(but not all) inline elements.
This change also moves the URL display handling out of the ulink
template and into a new "hyperlink.url.display" named template;
the ulink template and the simple.xlink named template now both
call the hyperlink.url.display template.
Warning: In the stylesheet code that determines what footnote
number to assign to each footnote or external hyperlink, there is
an XPath expression for determining whether a particular
xlink:href instance is an external hyperlink; that expression is
necessarily a bit complicated and further testing may reveal that
it doesn't handle all cases as expected -- so some refinements to
it may need to be done later.
Closes #1785519. Thanks to Ken Morse for reporting and
troubleshooting the problem.
HTML
The following changes have been made to the html code since the 1.73.2 release.
● Keith Fahlgren: inline.xsl; synop.xsl
Work to make HTML and XHTML targets more valid
● Keith Fahlgren: table.xsl
Add better handling for tables that have footnotes in the titles
● Keith Fahlgren: biblio.xsl
Add anchors to bibliodivs
● Keith Fahlgren: formal.xsl; Makefile; htmltbl.xsl
Initial checkin/merge of epub target from work provided by Paul Norton of Adobe
and Keith Fahlgren of O'Reilly.
This change includes new code for generating the XHTML 1.1 target sanely.
● Mauritz Jeanson: biblio.xsl
Added code for creating URLs from biblioids with @class="doi" (representing Digital
Object Identifiers). See FR #1934434 and http://doi.org.
To do: 1) Add support for FO output. 2) Figure out how @class="doi" should be handled
for bibliorelation, bibliosource and citebiblioid.
● Norman Walsh: formal.xsl
Don't use xsl:copy because it forces the resulting element to be in the same namespace as the source element; in the XHTML stylesheets, that's wrong. But the HTML-to-XHTML converter does the right thing with literal result elements, so use one of them.
● Michael(tm) Smith: Makefile
Added checks and hacks to various makefiles to enable building
under Cygwin. This stuff is ugly and maybe not worth the mess and
trouble, but does seem to work as expected and not break anything
else.
● Michael(tm) Smith: docbook.xsl
added "exslt" namespace binding to html/docbook.xsl file (in
addition to existing "exsl" binding. reason is because lack of it
seems to cause processing problems when using the profiled
version of the stylsheet
● Norman Walsh: chunk-common.xsl
Rename link
● Mauritz Jeanson: table.xsl
Added a fix to make rowsep apply to the last row of thead in entrytbl.
● Michael(tm) Smith: synop.xsl
Simplified and streamlined handling of output for ANSI-style
funcprototype output, to correct a problem that was causing type
data to be lost in the output parameter definitions. For example,
for an instance like this:
<paramdef>void *<parameter>dataptr</parameter>[]</paramdef>
... the brackets (indicating an array type) were being dropped.
● Michael(tm) Smith: synop.xsl
Changed HTML handling of K&R-style paramdef output. The parameter
definitions are no longer output in a table (though the prototype
still is). The reason for the change is that the
kr-tabular-funcsynopsis-mode template was causing type data to be
lost in the output parameter definitions. For example, for an
instance like this:
<paramdef>void *<parameter>dataptr</parameter>[]</paramdef>
... the brackets (indicating an array type) were being dropped.
The easiest way to deal with the problem is to not try to chop up
the parameter definitions and display them in table format, but to
instead just output them as-is. May not look quite as pretty, but
at least we can be sure no information is being lost...
● Michael(tm) Smith: pi.xsl
updated wording of doc for funcsynopsis-style PI
● Michael(tm) Smith: param.xweb; param.ent; synop.xsl
Removed the funcsynopsis.tabular.threshold param. It's no longer
being used in the code and hasn't been since mid 2006.
● Mauritz Jeanson: graphics.xsl
Added support for the img.src.path parameter for SVG graphics. Closes bug #1888169.
● Mauritz Jeanson: chunk-common.xsl
Added missing space.
● Norman Walsh: component.xsl
Fix bug where component titles inside info elements were not handled properly
● Michael(tm) Smith: pi.xsl
Moved dbhtml_stop-chunking embedded doc into alphabetical order,
fixed text of TCG section it see-also'ed.
● David Cramer: pi.xsl
Added support for <?dbhtml stop-chunking?> processing instruction
● David Cramer: chunk-common.xsl; pi.xsl
Added support for <?dbhtml stop-chunking?> processing instruction
● David Cramer: glossary.xsl
Fixed bug #1854199: glossary.xsl should use the sortas attribute on glossentry. Also added normalize-space to avoid missorting due to stray leading spaces.
● Mauritz Jeanson: inline.xsl
Added a template for citebiblioid. The hyperlink target is the parent of the referenced biblioid,
and the "hot text" is the biblioid itself enclosed in brackets.
● Mauritz Jeanson: inline.xsl
Added support for @xlink:show in the simple.xlink template. The "new" and "replace"
values are supported (corresponding to values of "_blank" and "_top" for the
ulink.target parameter). I have assumed that @xlink:show should override ulink.target
for external URI links. This closes bugs #1762023 and #1727498.
● Mauritz Jeanson: inline.xsl
Moved declaration of comment.block.parents entity to common/entities.ent.
● Mauritz Jeanson: param.xweb
Added link to profiling chapter of TCG.
● Dongsheng Song: biblio-iso690.xsl
Change encoding from "windows-1250" to "UTF-8".
● Robert Stayton: biblio.xsl
Add support in biblio collection to entries in bibliodivs.
● Mauritz Jeanson: pi.xsl
Added missing @role="tcg".
● Mauritz Jeanson: chunk-common.xsl; titlepage.xsl
Refactored legalnotice/revhistory chunking, so that the use.id.as.filename
parameter as well as the dbhtml_filename PI are taken into account. A new named
template in titlepage.xsl is used to compute the filename.
● Mauritz Jeanson: chunk-common.xsl; titlepage.xsl
An update to the fix for bug #1790495 (r7433):
The "ln-" prefix is output only when the legalnotice doesn't have an
@id/@xml:id, in which case the stylesheets generate an ID value,
resulting in a filename like "ln-7e0fwgj.html". This is useful because
without the prefix, you wouldn't know that the file contained a legalnotice.
The same logic is also applied to revhistory, using an "rh-" prefix.
● Mauritz Jeanson: autoidx.xsl
Removed the [&scope;] predicate from the target variable in the template with name="reference".
This filter was the cause of missing index backlinks when @zone and @type were used on indexterms,
with index.on.type=1. Closes bug #1680836.
● Mauritz Jeanson: titlepage.xsl
Added 'ln-' prefix to the name of the legalnotice chunk, in order to match the
<link href"..."> that is output by make.legalnotice.head.links (chunk-common.xsl).
Modified the href attribute on the legalnotice link.
Closes bug #1790495.
Manpages
The following changes have been made to the manpages code since the 1.73.2
release.
● Michael(tm) Smith: other.xsl
slightly adjusted spacing around admonition markers
● Michael(tm) Smith: refentry.xsl; utility.xsl
make sure refsect3 titles are preceded by a line of space, and
make the indenting of their child content less severe
● Michael(tm) Smith: block.xsl
only indent verbatim environments in TTY output, not in non-TTY/PS
● Michael(tm) Smith: block.xsl
made another adjustment to correct vertical alignment of admonition marker
● Michael(tm) Smith: block.xsl; other.xsl
Adjusted/corrected alignment of adominition marker in PS/non-TTY output.
● Michael(tm) Smith: endnotes.xsl
For PS/non-TTY output, display footnote/endnote numbers in
superscript.
● Michael(tm) Smith: table.xsl; synop.xsl; utility.xsl
Changed handling of hanging indents for cmdsynopsis, funcsynopsis,
and synopfragment such that they now look correct in non-TTY/PS
output. We now use the groff \w escape to hang by the actual width
-- in the current font -- of the command, funcdef, or
synopfragment references number (as opposed to hanging by the
number of characters). This rendering in TTY output remains the
same, since the width in monospaced TTY output is the same as the
number of characters.
Also, created new synopsis-block-start and synopsis-block-end
templates to use for cmdsynopsis and funcsynopsis instead of the
corresponding verbatim-* templates.
Along with those changes, also corrected a problem that caused the
content of synopfragment to be dropped, and made a
vertical-spacing change to adjust spacing around table titles and
among sibling synopfragment instances.
● Michael(tm) Smith: other.xsl
use common l10.language.name template to retrieve English-language name
● Michael(tm) Smith: synop.xsl; inline.xsl
added comment in code explaining why we don't put filename output
in italic (despite the fact that man guidelines say we should)
● Michael(tm) Smith: inline.xsl
put filename output in monospace instead of italic
● Michael(tm) Smith: synop.xsl
put cmdsynopsis in monospace
● Michael(tm) Smith: inline.xsl
removed template match for literal. template matches for monospace
inlines are all imported from the HTML stylesheet
● Michael(tm) Smith: block.xsl
don't indent verbatim environments that are descendants of
refsynopsisdiv, not put backgrounds behind them
● Michael(tm) Smith: inline.xsl
set output of the literal element in monospace. this causes all
inline monospace instances in the git man pages to be set in
monospace (since DocBook XML source for git docs is generated with
asciidoc and asciidoc consistently outputs only <literal> for
inline monospace (not <command> or <code> or anything else).
Of course this only affects non-TTY output...
● Michael(tm) Smith: utility.xsl
Added inline.monoseq named template.
● Michael(tm) Smith: utility.xsl
don't bother using a custom register to store the previous
font-family value when setting blocks of text in code font; just
use \F[] .fam with no arg to switch back
● Michael(tm) Smith: endnotes.xsl
put links in blue in PS output (note that this matches how groff
renders content marked up with the .URL macro)
● Michael(tm) Smith: endnotes.xsl; param.xweb; param.ent
removed man.links.are.underlined and added man.font.links. Also,
changed the default font formatting for links to bold.
● Michael(tm) Smith: endnotes.xsl; param.xweb; param.ent
Added new param man.base.url.for.relative.links .. specifies a
base URL for relative links (for ulink, @xlink:href, imagedata,
audiodata, videodata) shown in the generated NOTES section of
man-page output. The value of man.base.url.for.relative.links is
prepended to any relative URI that is a value of ulink url,
xlink:href, or fileref attribute.
If you use relative URIs in link sources in your DocBook refentry
source, and you leave man.base.url.for.relative.links unset, the
relative links will appear "as is" in the NOTES section of any
man-page output generated from your source. That's probably not
what you want, because such relative links are only usable in the
context of HTML output. So, to make the links meaningful and
usable in the context of man-page output, set a value for
man.base.url.for.relative.links that points
to the online version of HTML output generated from your DocBook
refentry source. For example:
<xsl:param name="man.base.url.for.relative.links"
>http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/</xsl:param>
● Michael(tm) Smith: info.xsl
If a source refentry contains a Documentation or DOCUMENTATION
section, don't report it as having missing AUTHOR information.
Also, if missing a contrib/personblurb for a person or org, report
pointers to http://docbook.sf.net/el/personblurb and to
http://docbook.sf.net/el/contrib
● Michael(tm) Smith: info.xsl
If we encounter an author|editor|othercredit instance that lacks a
personblurb or contrib, report it to the user (because that means
we have no information about that author|editor|othercredit to
display in the generated AUTHOR|AUTHORS section...)
● Michael(tm) Smith: info.xsl; docbook.xsl; other.xsl
if we can't find any usable author data, emit a warning and insert
a fixme in the output
● Michael(tm) Smith: info.xsl
fixed bug in indenting of output for contrib instances in AUTHORS
section. Thanks to Daniel Leidert and the fglrx docs for exposing
the bug.
● Michael(tm) Smith: block.xsl
for a para or simpara that is the first child of a callout,
suppress the .sp or .PP that would normally be output (because in
those cases, the output goes into a table cell, and the .sp or .PP
markup causes a spurious linebreak before it when displayed
● Michael(tm) Smith: lists.xsl
Added support for rendering co callouts and calloutlist instances.
So you can now use simple callouts -- marking up programlisting
and such with co instances -- and have the callouts displayed in
man-page output. ("simple callouts" means using co@id and
callout@arearefs pointing to co@id instances; in man/roff output,
we can't/don't support markup that uses areaset and area)
● Michael(tm) Smith: block.xsl
only put a line of space after a verbatim if it's followed by a
text node or a paragraph
● Michael(tm) Smith: utility.xsl
put verbatim environments in slightly smaller font in non-TTY
output
● Michael(tm) Smith: lists.xsl
minor whitespace-only reformatting of lists.xsl source
● Michael(tm) Smith: lists.xsl
Made refinements/fixes to output of orderedlist and itemizedlist
-- in part, to get mysql man pages to display correctly. This
change causes a "\c" continuation marker to be added between
listitem markers and contents (to ensure that the content remains
on the same line as the marker when displayed)
● Michael(tm) Smith: block.xsl
put a line of vertical space after all verbatim output that has
sibling content following it (not just if that sibling content is
a text node)
● Michael(tm) Smith: block.xsl
refined spacing around titles for admonitions
● Michael(tm) Smith: block.xsl; other.xsl
Deal with case of verbatim environments that have a linebreak
after the opening tag. Assumption is that users generally don't
want that linebreak to appear in output, so we do some groff
hackery to mess with vertical spacing and close the space.
● Michael(tm) Smith: inline.xsl
indexterm instances now produce groff comments like this:
.\" primary: secondary: tertiary
remark instances, if non-empty, now produce groff comments
● Michael(tm) Smith: charmap.groff.xsl; other.xsl
convert no-break space character to groff "\ \&" (instead of just
"\ "). the reason is that if a space occurs at the end of a line,
our processing causes it to be eaten. a real-world case of this is
the mysql(1) man page. appending the "\&" prevents that
● Michael(tm) Smith: block.xsl
output "sp" before simpara output, not after it (outputting it
after results in undesirable whitespace in particular cases; for
example, in the hg/mercurial docs
● Michael(tm) Smith: table.xsl; synop.xsl; utility.xsl
renamed from title-preamble to pinch.together and replaced "sp -1"
between synopsis fragments with call to pinch.together instead
● Michael(tm) Smith: table.xsl
use title-preamble template for table titles (instead of "sp -1"
hack), and "sp 1" after all tables (instead of just "sp"
● Michael(tm) Smith: utility.xsl
created title-preamble template for suppressing line spacing after
headings
● Michael(tm) Smith: info.xsl
further refinement of indenting in AUTHORS section
● Michael(tm) Smith: block.xsl; other.xsl
refined handling of admonitions
● Michael(tm) Smith: lists.xsl
Use RS/RE in another place where we had IP ""
● Michael(tm) Smith: info.xsl
Replace (ab)use of IP with "sp -1" in AUTHORS section with RS/RE
instead.
● Michael(tm) Smith: table.xsl; synop.xsl; info.xsl
changed all instances of ".sp -1n" to ".sp -1"
● Michael(tm) Smith: other.xsl
add extra line before SH heads only in non-TTY output
● Michael(tm) Smith: block.xsl
Reworked output for admonitions (caution, important, note, tip,
warning). In TTY output, admonitions now get indented. In non-TTY
output, a colored marker (yellow) is displayed next to them.
● Michael(tm) Smith: other.xsl
Added BM/EM macros for putting a colored marker in margin next to
a block of text.
● Michael(tm) Smith: utility.xsl
created make.bold.title template by moving title-bolding part out
from nested-section-title template. This allows the bolding to
also be used by the template for formatting admonitions
● Michael(tm) Smith: info.xsl
put .br before copyright contents to prevent them from getting run in
● Michael(tm) Smith: refentry.xsl; other.xsl; utility.xsl
made point size of output for Refsect2 and Refsect3 heads bigger
● Michael(tm) Smith: other.xsl
put slightly more space between SH head and underline in non-TTY
output
● Michael(tm) Smith: param.xweb; param.ent; other.xsl
Added the man.charmap.subset.profile.english parameter and refined
the handling of charmap subsets to differentiate between English
and non-English source.
This way charmap subsets are now handled is this:
If the value of the man.charmap.use.subset parameter is non-zero,
and your DocBook source is not written in English (that is, if its
lang or xml:lang attribute has a value other than en), then the
character-map subset specified by the man.charmap.subset.profile
parameter is used instead of the full roff character map.
Otherwise, if the lang or xml:lang attribute on the root element
in your DocBook source or on the first refentry element in your
source has the value en or if it has no lang or xml:lang
attribute, then the character-map subset specified by the
man.charmap.subset.profile.english parameter is used instead of
man.charmap.subset.profile.
The difference between the two subsets is that
man.charmap.subset.profile provides mappings for characters in
Western European languages that are not part of the Roman
(English) alphabet (ASCII character set).
● Michael(tm) Smith: other.xsl
Various updates, mainly related to uppercasing SH titles:
- added a "Language: " metadata line to the top comment area of
output man pages, to indicate the language the page is in
- added a "toupper" macro of doing locale-aware uppercasing of
SH titles and cross-references to SH titles; the mechanism
relies on the uppercase.alpha and lowercase.alpha DocBook
gentext keys to do locale-aware uppercasing based on the
language the page is written in
- added a "string.shuffle" template, which provides a library
function for "shuffling" two strings together into a single
string; it takes the first character for the first string, the
first character from second string, etc. The only current use
for it is to generate the argument for the groff tr request
that does string uppercasing.
- added make.tr.uppercase.arg and make.tr.normalcase.arg named
templates for use in generating groff code for uppercasing and
"normal"-casing SH titles
- made the BB/BE "background drawing" macros have effect only in
non-TTY output
- output a few comments in the top part of source
● Michael(tm) Smith: utility.xsl
removed some leftover kruft
● Michael(tm) Smith: refentry.xsl
To create the name(s) for each man page, we now replace any spaces
in the refname(s) with underscores. This ensures that tools like
lexgrog(1) will be able to parse the name (lexgrog won't parse
names that contain spaces).
● Michael(tm) Smith: docbook.xsl
Put a comment into source of man page to indicate where the main
content starts. (We now have a few of macro definitions at the
start of the source, so putting this comment in helps those that
might be viewing the source.)
● Michael(tm) Smith: refentry.xsl
refined mechanism for generating SH titles
● Michael(tm) Smith: charmap.groff.xsl
Added zcaron, Zcaron, scaron, and Scaron to the groff character map.
This means that generated Finnish man pages will no longer contain
any raw accented characters -- they'll instead by marked up with
groff escapes.
● Michael(tm) Smith: other.xsl; utility.xsl
corrected a regression I introduced about a year ago that caused
dots to be output just as "\." -- instead needs to be "\&." (which
is what it will be now, after this change)
● Michael(tm) Smith: refentry.xsl
Changed backend handling for generating titles for SH sections and
for cross-references to those sections. This should have no effect
on TTY output (behavior should remain the same hopefully) but
results in titles in normal case (instead of uppercase) in PS
output.
● Michael(tm) Smith: info.xsl
use make.subheading template to make subheadings for AUTHORS and
COPYRIGHT sections (instead of harcoding roff markup)
● Michael(tm) Smith: block.xsl
put code font around programlisting etc.
● Michael(tm) Smith: synop.xsl; docbook.xsl
embed custom macro definitions in man pages, plus wrap synopsis in
code font
● Michael(tm) Smith: endnotes.xsl
use the make.subheading template to generated SH subheading for
endnotes section.
● Michael(tm) Smith: lists.xsl
Added some templates for generating if-then-else conditional
markup in groff, so let's use those instead of hard-coding it in
multiple places...
● Michael(tm) Smith: other.xsl; utility.xsl
Initial checkin of some changes related to making PS/PDF output
from "man -l -Tps" look better. The current changes:
- render synopsis and verbatim sections in a monospace/code font
- put a light-grey background behind all programlisting, screen,
and literallayout instances
- prevent SH heads in PS output from being rendered in uppercase
(as they are in console output)
- also display xrefs to SH heads in PS output in normal case
(instead of uppercase)
- draw a line under SH heads in PS output
The changes made to the code to support the above features were:
- added some embedded/custom macros: one for conditionally
upper-casing SH x-refs, one for redefining the SH macro
itself, with some conditional handling for PS output, and
finally a macro for putting a background/screen (filled box)
around a block of text (e.g., a program listing) in PS output
- added utility templates for wrapping blocks of text in code
font; also templates for inline code font
● Robert Stayton: refentry.xsl
refpurpose nodes now get apply-templates instead of just normalize-space().
● Michael(tm) Smith: lists.xsl
Fixed alignment of first lined of text for each listitem in
orderedlist output for TTY. Existing code seemed to have been
causing an extra undesirable space to appear.
● Michael(tm) Smith: lists.xsl
Wrapped some roff conditionals around roff markup for orderedlist
and itemizedlist output, so that the lists look acceptable in PS
output as well as TTY.
● Michael(tm) Smith: pi.xsl; synop.xsl; param.xweb; param.ent
Added the man.funcsynopsis.style parameter. Has the same effect in
manpages output as the funcsynopsis.style parameter has in HTML
output -- except that its default value is 'ansi' instead of 'kr'.
● Michael(tm) Smith: synop.xsl
Reworked handling of K&R funcprototype output. It no longer relies
on the HTML kr-tabular templates, but instead just does direct
transformation to roff. For K&R output, it displays the paramdef
output in an indented list following the prototype.
● Michael(tm) Smith: synop.xsl
Properly integrated handling for K&R output into manpages
stylesheet. The choice between K&R output and ANSI output is
currently controlled through use of the (HTML) funcsynopsis.style
parameter. Note that because the mechanism does currently rely on
funcsynopsis.style, the default in manpages output is now K&R
(because that's the default of that param). But I suppose I ought
to create a man.funcsynopsis.style and make the default for that
ANSI (to preserve the existing default behavior).
● Michael(tm) Smith: docbook.xsl
added manpages/pi.xsl file
● Michael(tm) Smith: .cvsignore; pi.xsl
Added "dbman funcsynopsis-style" PI and incorporated it into the
doc build.
● Michael(tm) Smith: refentry.xsl
Fixed regression that caused an unescaped dash to be output
between refname and refpurpose content. Closes bug #1894244.
Thanks to Daniel Leidert.
● Michael(tm) Smith: other.xsl
Fixed problem with dots being escaped in filenames of generated
man files. Closes #1827195. Thanks to Daniel Leidert.
● Michael(tm) Smith: inline.xsl
Added support for processing structfield (was appearing in roff
output surrounded by HTML <em> tags; fixed so that it gets roff
ital markup). Closes bug #1858329. Thanks to Sam Varshavchik.

● Mauritz Jeanson: htmlhelp-common.xsl
Added <xsl:with-param name="quiet" select="$chunk.quietly"/> to calls to
the write.chunk, write.chunk.with.doctype, and write.text.chunk templates.
This makes chunk.quietly=1 suppress chunk filename messages also for help
support files (which seems to be what one would expect). See bug #1648360.

Slides
The following changes have been made to the slides code since the 1.73.2
release.
● Michael(tm) Smith: fo/Makefile; html/Makefile
Added checks and hacks to various makefiles to enable building
under Cygwin. This stuff is ugly and maybe not worth the mess and
trouble, but does seem to work as expected and not break anything
else.
● Jirka Kosek: html/plain.xsl
Added support for showing foil number
Website
The following changes have been made to the website code since the 1.73.2
release.
● Michael(tm) Smith: extensions/saxon64/.classes/.gitignore; extensions/
xalan2/.classes/com/⋯
renamed a bunch more .cvsignore files to .gitignore (to facilitate use of git-svn)
Params
The following changes have been made to the params code since the 1.73.2
release.
● Keith Fahlgren: epub.autolabel.xml
New parameter for epub, epub.autolabel
● Mauritz Jeanson: table.frame.border.color.xml; table.cell.padding.xml;
table.cell.border.t⋯
Added missing refpurposes and descriptions.
● Keith Fahlgren: ade.extensions.xml
Extensions to support Adobe Digital Editions extensions in .epub output.
● Mauritz Jeanson: fop.extensions.xml; fop1.extensions.xml
Clarified that fop1.extensions is for FOP 0.90 and later. Version 1 is not here yet...
● Michael(tm) Smith: man.links.are.underlined.xml;
man.endnotes.list.enabled.xml; man.font.l⋯
removed man.links.are.underlined and added man.font.links. Also,
changed the default font formatting for links to bold.
● Michael(tm) Smith: man.base.url.for.relative.links.xml
Added new param man.base.url.for.relative.links .. specifies a
base URL for relative links (for ulink, @xlink:href, imagedata,
audiodata, videodata) shown in the generated NOTES section of
man-page output. The value of man.base.url.for.relative.links is
prepended to any relative URI that is a value of ulink url,
xlink:href, or fileref attribute.
If you use relative URIs in link sources in your DocBook refentry
source, and you leave man.base.url.for.relative.links unset, the
relative links will appear "as is" in the NOTES section of any
man-page output generated from your source. That's probably not
what you want, because such relative links are only usable in the
context of HTML output. So, to make the links meaningful and
usable in the context of man-page output, set a value for
man.base.url.for.relative.links that points
to the online version of HTML output generated from your DocBook
refentry source. For example:
<xsl:param name="man.base.url.for.relative.links"
>http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/</xsl:param>
● Michael(tm) Smith: man.string.subst.map.xml
squeeze .sp\n.sp into a single .sp (to prevent a extra, spurious
line of whitespace from being inserted after programlisting etc.
in certain cases)
● Michael(tm) Smith: refentry.manual.fallback.profile.xml;
refentry.source.fallback.profile.⋯
don't use refmiscinfo@class=date value as fallback for refentry
"source" or "manual" metadata fields
● Michael(tm) Smith: man.charmap.subset.profile.xml; man.charmap.enabled.xml;
man.charmap.su⋯
made some further doc tweaks related to the
man.charmap.subset.profile.english param
● Michael(tm) Smith: man.charmap.subset.profile.xml; man.charmap.enabled.xml;
man.charmap.su⋯
Added the man.charmap.subset.profile.english parameter and refined
the handling of charmap subsets to differentiate between English
and non-English source.
This way charmap subsets are now handled is this:
If the value of the man.charmap.use.subset parameter is non-zero,
and your DocBook source is not written in English (that is, if its
lang or xml:lang attribute has a value other than en), then the
character-map subset specified by the man.charmap.subset.profile
parameter is used instead of the full roff character map.
Otherwise, if the lang or xml:lang attribute on the root element
in your DocBook source or on the first refentry element in your
source has the value en or if it has no lang or xml:lang
attribute, then the character-map subset specified by the
man.charmap.subset.profile.english parameter is used instead of
man.charmap.subset.profile.
The difference between the two subsets is that
man.charmap.subset.profile provides mappings for characters in
Western European languages that are not part of the Roman
(English) alphabet (ASCII character set).
● Michael(tm) Smith: man.charmap.subset.profile.xml
Added to default charmap used by manpages:
- the "letters" part of the 'C1 Controls And Latin-1 Supplement
(Latin-1 Supplement)' Unicode block
- Latin Extended-A block (but not all of the characters from
that block have mappings in groff, so some of them are still
passed through as-is)
The effects of this change are that in man pages generated for
most Western European languages and for Finnish, all characters
not part of the Roman alphabet are (e.g., "accented" characters)
are converted to groff escapes.
Previously, by default we passed through those characters as is
(and users needed to use the full charmap if they wanted to have
those characters converted).
As a result of this change, man pages generated for Western
European languages will be viewable in some environments in which
they are not viewable if the "raw" non-Roman characters are in them.
● Mauritz Jeanson: generate.legalnotice.link.xml;
generate.revhistory.link.xml
Added information on how the filename is computed.
● Mauritz Jeanson: default.table.width.xml
Clarified PI usage.
● Michael(tm) Smith: man.funcsynopsis.style.xml
Added the man.funcsynopsis.style parameter. Has the same effect in
manpages output as the funcsynopsis.style parameter has in HTML
output -- except that its default value is 'ansi' instead of 'kr'.
● Michael(tm) Smith: funcsynopsis.tabular.threshold.xml
Removed the funcsynopsis.tabular.threshold param. It's no longer
being used in the code and hasn't been since mid 2006.
● Mauritz Jeanson: table.properties.xml
Set keep-together.within-column to "auto". This seems to be the most sensible
default value for tables.
● Mauritz Jeanson: informal.object.properties.xml;
admon.graphics.extension.xml; informalequ⋯
Several small documentation fixes.
● Mauritz Jeanson: manifest.in.base.dir.xml
Wording fixes.
● Mauritz Jeanson: header.content.properties.xml;
footer.content.properties.xml
Added refpurpose.
● Mauritz Jeanson: ulink.footnotes.xml; ulink.show.xml
Updated for DocBook 5.
● Mauritz Jeanson: index.method.xml; glossterm.auto.link.xml
Spelling and wording fixes.
● Mauritz Jeanson: callout.graphics.extension.xml
Clarifed available graphics formats and extensions.
● Mauritz Jeanson: footnote.sep.leader.properties.xml
Corrected refpurpose.
● Jirka Kosek: footnote.properties.xml
Added more properties which make it possible to render correctly footnotes placed inside verbatim elements.
● Mauritz Jeanson: img.src.path.xml
img.src.path works with inlinegraphic too.
● Mauritz Jeanson: saxon.character.representation.xml
Added TCG link.
● Mauritz Jeanson: img.src.path.xml
Updated description of img.src.path. Bug #1785224 revealed that
there was a risk of misunderstanding how it works.
Profiling
The following changes have been made to the profiling code since the 1.73.2
release.
● Jirka Kosek: xsl2profile.xsl
Added new rules to profile all content generated by HTML Help (including alias files)
● Robert Stayton: profile-mode.xsl
use mode="profile" instead of xsl:copy-of for attributes so
they can be more easily customized.
Tools
The following changes have been made to the tools code since the 1.73.2
release.
● Michael(tm) Smith: make/Makefile.DocBook
various changes and additions to support making with asciidoc as
an input format
● Michael(tm) Smith: make/Makefile.DocBook
make dblatex the default PDF maker for the example makefile
● Michael(tm) Smith: xsl/build/html2roff.xsl
Reworked handling of K&R funcprototype output. It no longer relies
on the HTML kr-tabular templates, but instead just does direct
transformation to roff. For K&R output, it displays the paramdef
output in an indented list following the prototype.
● Mauritz Jeanson: xsl/build/make-xsl-params.xsl
Made attribute-sets members of the param list. This enables links to attribute-sets in the
reference documentation.
● Michael(tm) Smith: xsl/build/html2roff.xsl
use .BI handling in K&R funsynopsis output for manpages, just as
we do already of ANSI output
● Michael(tm) Smith: xsl/build/html2roff.xsl
Implemented initial support for handling tabular K&R output of
funcprototype in manpages output. Accomplished by adding more
templates to the intermediate HTML-to-roff stylesheet that the
build uses to create the manpages/html-synop.xsl stylesheet.
● Michael(tm) Smith: xsl/build/doc-link-docbook.xsl
Made the xsl/tools/xsl/build/doc-link-docbook.xsl stylesheet
import profile-docbook.xsl, so that we can do profiling of release
notes. Corrected some problems in the target for the release-notes
HTML build.

XSL-libxslt
The following changes have been made to the xsl-libxslt code since the 1.73.2
release.
● Mauritz Jeanson: python/xslt.py
Print the result to stdout if no outfile has been given.
Some unnecessary semicolons removed.
● Mauritz Jeanson: python/xslt.py

Release Notes: 1.73.2
This is solely a minor bug-fix update to the 1.73.1 release. It fixes a
packaging error in the 1.73.1 package, as well as a bug in footnote handling in
FO output.
Release: 1.73.1
This is mostly a bug-fix update to the 1.73.0 release.
Gentext
The following changes have been made to the gentext code since the 1.73.0
release.
● Mauritz Jeanson: locale/de.xml
Applied patch #1766009.
● Michael(tm) Smith: locale/lv.xml
Added localization for ProductionSet.
FO
The following changes have been made to the fo code since the 1.73.0 release.
● Mauritz Jeanson: table.xsl
Modified the tgroup template so that, for tables with multiple tgroups,
a width attribute is output on all corresponding fo:tables. Previously,
there was a test prohibiting this (and a comment saying that outputting more
than one width attribute will cause an error). But this seems to be no longer
relevant; it is not a problem with FOP 0.93 or XEP 4.10. Closes bug #1760559.
● Mauritz Jeanson: graphics.xsl
Replaced useless <a> elements with warning messages (textinsert extension).
● Mauritz Jeanson: admon.xsl
Enabled generation of ids (on fo:wrapper) for indexterms in admonition titles, so that page
references in the index can be created. Closes bug #1775086.
HTML
The following changes have been made to the html code since the 1.73.0 release.
● Mauritz Jeanson: titlepage.xsl
Added <xsl:call-template name="process.footnotes"/> to abstract template
so that footnotes in info/abstract are processed. Closes bug #1760907.
● Michael(tm) Smith: pi.xsl; synop.xsl
Changed handling of HTML output for the cmdsynopsis and
funcsynopsis elements, such that a@id instances are generated for
them if they are descendants of any element containing a dbcmdlist
or dbfunclist PI. Also, update the embedded reference docs for the
dbcmdlist and dbfunclist PIs to make it clear that they can be
used within any element for which cmdsynopsis or funcsynopsis are
valid children.
● Michael(tm) Smith: formal.xsl
Reverted the part of revision 6952 that caused a@id anchors to be
generated for output of informal objects. Thanks to Sam Steingold
for reporting.
● Robert Stayton: glossary.xsl
Account for a glossary with no glossdiv or glossentry children.
● Mauritz Jeanson: titlepage.xsl
Modified legalnotice template so that the base.name parameter is calculated
in the same way as for revhistory chunks. Using <xsl:apply-templates
mode="chunk-filename" select="."/> did not work for single-page output since
the template with that mode is in chunk-code.xsl.
● Mauritz Jeanson: graphics.xsl
Updated support for SVG (must be a child of imagedata in DB 5).
Added support for MathML in imagedata.
● Mauritz Jeanson: pi.xsl
Added documentation for the dbhh PI (used for context-sensitive HTML Help).
(The two templates matching 'dbhh' are still in htmlhelp-common.xsl).
Manpages
The following changes have been made to the manpages code since the 1.73.0
release.
● Michael(tm) Smith: endnotes.xsl
In manpages output, generate warnings about notesources with
non-para children only if the notesource is a footnote or
annotation. Thanks to Sam Steingold for reporting problems with
the existing handling.
HTMLHelp
The following changes have been made to the htmlhelp code since the 1.73.0
release.
● Michael(tm) Smith: htmlhelp-common.xsl
Added single-pass namespace-stripping support to the htmlhelp,
eclipse, and javahelp stylesheets.

The following changes have been made to the javahelp code since the 1.73.0
release.
● Michael(tm) Smith: javahelp.xsl
Added single-pass namespace-stripping support to the htmlhelp,
eclipse, and javahelp stylesheets.
Roundtrip
The following changes have been made to the roundtrip code since the 1.73.0
release.
● Steve Ball: blocks2dbk.xsl; blocks2dbk.dtd; pages2normalise.xsl
Modularised blocks2dbk to allow customisation,
Added support for tables to pages2normalise
Params
The following changes have been made to the params code since the 1.73.0
release.
● Robert Stayton: procedure.properties.xml
procedure was inheriting keep-together from formal.object.properties, but
a procedure does not need to be kept together by default.
● Dave Pawson: title.font.family.xml;
component.label.includes.part.label.xml; table.frame.b⋯
Regular formatting re-org.
Release: 1.73.0
This release includes important bug fixes and adds the following significant
feature changes:
New localizations and localization updates
We added two new localizations: Latvian and Esperanto, and made updates to
the Czech, Chinese Simplified, Mongolian, Serbian, Italian, and Ukrainian
localizations.
ISO690 citation style for bibliography output.
Set the bibliography.style parameter to iso690 to use ISO690 style.
New documentation for processing instructions (PI)
The reference documentation that ships with the release now includes
documentation on all PIs that you can use to control output from the
stylesheets.
New profiling parameters for audience and wordsize
You can now do profiling based on the values of the audience and wordsize
attributes.
Changes to man-page output
The manpages stylesheet now supports single-pass profiling and single-pass
DocBook 5 namespace stripping (just as the HTML and FO stylesheets also
do). Also, added handling for mediaobject & inlinemediaobject. (Each
imagedata, audiodata, or videodata element within a mediaobject or inline
mediaobject is now treated as a "notesource" and so handled in much the
same way as links and annotation/alt/footnote are in manpages output.) And
added the man.authors.section.enabled and man.copyright.section.enabled
parameters to enable control over whether output includes auto-generated
AUTHORS and COPYRIGHT sections.
Highlighting support for C
The highlighting mechanism for generating syntax-highlighted code snippets
in output now supports C code listings (along with Java, PHP, XSLT, and
others).
Experimental docbook-xsl-update script
We added an experimental docbook-xsl-update script, the purpose of which is
to facilitate easy sync-up to the latest docbook-xsl snapshot (by means of
rsync).
Gentext
The following changes have been made to the gentext code since the 1.72.0
release.
● Michael(tm) Smith: locale/lv.xml; Makefile
Added Latvian localization file, from Girts Ziemelis.
● Dongsheng Song: locale/zh_cn.xml
Brought up to date with en.xml in terms of items. A few strings marked for translation.

New locale for Esperanto.
● Robert Stayton: locale/mn.xml
Update from Ganbold Tsagaankhuu.

Common
The following changes have been made to the common code since the 1.72.0
release.
● Michael(tm) Smith: labels.xsl
Changed handling of reference auto-labeling such that reference
(when it appears at the component level) is now affected by the
label.from.part param, just as preface, chapter, and appendix.
● Michael(tm) Smith: common.xsl
Added support to the HTML stylesheets for proper processing of
orgname as a child of author.
● Michael(tm) Smith: refentry.xsl
Refined logging output of refentry metadata-gathering template;
for some cases of "missing" elements (refmiscinfo stuff, etc.),
the log messages now include URL to corresponding page in the
Definitive Guide (TDG).
● Robert Stayton: titles.xsl
Add refsection/info/title support.
● Michael(tm) Smith: titles.xsl
Added support for correct handling of xref to elements that
contain info/title descendants but no title children.
This should be further refined so that it handles any *info
elements. And there are probably some other places where similar
handling for *info/title should be added.
● Mauritz Jeanson: pi.xsl
Modified <xsl:when> in datetime.format template to work
around Xalan bug.

The following changes have been made to the fo code since the 1.72.0 release.
● Robert Stayton: component.xsl
Add parameters to the page.sequence utility template.

Add support for qanda.in.toc to fo TOC.
● Robert Stayton: component.xsl
Improved the page.sequence utility template for use with book.
● Robert Stayton: division.xsl
Refactored the big book template into smaller pieces.
Used the "page.sequence" utility template in
component.xsl to shorten the toc piece.
Added placeholder templates for front.cover and back.cover.

Add section.container.element parameter to enable
pgwide spans inside sections.
● Robert Stayton: param.xweb; param.ent; component.xsl
Add component.titlepage.properties attribute-set to
support span="all" and other properties.
● Robert Stayton: htmltbl.xsl; table.xsl

The code was provided by Jana Dvorakova
● Robert Stayton: param.xweb; param.ent; pagesetup.xsl
Add header.table.properties and footer.table.properties attribute-sets.
● Robert Stayton: inline.xsl
Add fop1.extensions for menuchoice arrow handling exception.
HTML
The following changes have been made to the html code since the 1.72.0 release.
● Mauritz Jeanson: param.xweb; param.ent
Moved declaration and documentation of javahelp.encoding from javahelp.xsl to the
regular "parameter machinery".
● Michael(tm) Smith: admon.xsl
Changed handling of titles for note, warning, caution, important,
tip admonitions: We now output and HTML h3 head only if
admon.textlabel is non-zero or if the admonition actually contains
a title; otherwise, we don't output an h3 head at all.
(Previously, we were outputting an empty h3 if the admon.textlabel
was zero and if the admonition had no title.)
● Mauritz Jeanson: xref.xsl
Added template for xref to area/areaset.
Part of fix for bug #1675513 (xref to area broken).
● Mauritz Jeanson: titlepage.xsl; component.xsl; division.xsl; sections.xsl
Added fixes to avoid duplicate ids when generate.id.attributes = 1.
This (hopefully) closes bug #1671052.
● Michael(tm) Smith: formal.xsl; pi.xsl
Made the dbfunclist PI work as intended. Also added doc for
dbfunclist and dbcmdlist PIs.
● Michael(tm) Smith: pi.xsl; synop.xsl
Made the dbcmdlist work the way it appears to have been intended
to work. Restored dbhtml-dir template back to pi.xsl.
● Michael(tm) Smith: titlepage.xsl; param.xweb; param.ent
Added new param abstract.notitle.enabled.
If non-zero, in output of the abstract element on titlepages,
display of the abstract title is suppressed.
Because sometimes you really don't want or need that title
there...
● Michael(tm) Smith: chunk-code.xsl; graphics.xsl
When we are chunking long descriptions for mediaobject instances
into separate HTML output files, and use.id.as.filename is
non-zero, if a mediaobject has an ID, use that ID as the basename
for the long-description file (otherwise, we generate an ID for it
and use that ID as the basename for the file).
The parallels the recent change made to cause IDs for legalnotice
instances to be used as basenames for legalnotice chunks.
Also, made some minor refinements to the recent changes for
legalnotice chunk handling.
● Michael(tm) Smith: titlepage.xsl
Added support to the HTML stylesheets for proper processing of
orgname as a child of author.
● Michael(tm) Smith: chunk-code.xsl
When $generate.legalnotice.link is non-zero and
$use.id.as.filename is also non-zero, if a legalnotice has an ID,
then instead of assigning the "ln-<generatedID>" basename to the
output file for that legalnotice, just use its real ID as the
basename for the file -- as we do when chunking other elements
that have IDs.
● David Cramer: xref.xsl
Handle alt text on xrefs to steps when the step doesn't have a title.
● David Cramer: lists.xsl
Added <p> element around term in variablelist when formatted as table to avoid misalignment of term and listitem in xhtml (non-quirks mode) output
● David Cramer: qandaset.xsl
Added <p> element around question and answer labels to avoid misalignment of label and listitem in xhtml (non-quirks mode) output
● David Cramer: lists.xsl
Added <p> element around callouts to avoid misalignment of callout and listitem in xhtml (non-quirks mode) output
● Mauritz Jeanson: inline.xsl
Make citations numbered if bibliography.numbered != 0.
● Robert Stayton: param.xweb; param.ent
Add support for new profiling attributes audience and wordsize.
● Robert Stayton: inline.xsl; xref.xsl
Add support for xlink olinks.
● Jirka Kosek: glossary.xsl
Rules for normalizing glossary entries before they are sorted can be now different for each language.
● Robert Stayton: chunk-common.xsl; chunk-code.xsl; manifest.xsl; chunk.xsl
Refactored the chunking modules to move all named templates to
chunk-common.xsl and all match templates to chunk-code.xsl, in
order to enable better chunk customization.
See the comments in chunk.xsl for more details.
● Robert Stayton: lists.xsl
Add anchor for xml:id for listitem in varlistentry.
● Robert Stayton: refentry.xsl
Add support for info/title in refsections for db5.
● Jirka Kosek: param.xweb; biblio.xsl; docbook.xsl; param.ent;
biblio-iso690.xsl
Added support for formatting biblioentries according to ISO690 citation style.
New bibliography style can be turned on by setting parameter bibliography.style to "iso690"
The code was provided by Jana Dvorakova
● Robert Stayton: inline.xsl; xref.xsl
Add call to class.attribute to <a> output elements so they can
have a class value too.
● Mauritz Jeanson: glossary.xsl
Fixed bug #1644881:
* Added curly braces around all $language attribute values.
* Moved declaration of language variable to top level of stylesheet.
Tested with Xalan, Saxon, and xsltproc.
Manpages
The following changes have been made to the manpages code since the 1.72.0
release.
● Michael(tm) Smith: param.xweb; docbook.xsl; param.ent
Added the man.authors.section.enabled and
man.copyright.section.enabled parameters. Set those to zero when
you want to suppress display of the auto-generated AUTHORS and
COPYRIGHT sections. Closes request #1467806. Thanks to Daniel
Leidert.
● Michael(tm) Smith: docbook.xsl
Took the test that the manpages stylesheet does to see if there
are any Refentry chilren in current doc, and made it
namespace-agnostic. Reason for that is because the test otherwise
won't work when it is copied over into the generated
profile-docbook.xsl stylesheet.
● Michael(tm) Smith: Makefile
Added a manpages/profile-docbook.xsl file to enable single-pass
profiling for manpages output.
● Michael(tm) Smith: info.xsl
Output copyright and legalnotice in man-page output in whatever
place they are in in document order. Closes #1690539. Thanks to
Daniel Leidert for reporting.
● Michael(tm) Smith: docbook.xsl
Restored support for single-pass namespace stripping to manpages
stylesheet.
● Michael(tm) Smith: synop.xsl; block.xsl; info.xsl; inline.xsl; lists.xsl;
endnotes.xsl; ut⋯
Changed handling of bold and italic/underline output in manpages
output. Should be transparent to users, but...
This touches handling of all bold and italic/underline output. The
exact change is that the mode="bold" and mode="italic" utility
templates were changed to named templates. (I think maybe I've
changed it back and forth from mode to named before, so this is
maybe re-reverting it yet again).
Anyway, the reason for the change is that the templates are
sometimes call on dynamically node-sets, and using modes to format
those doesn't allow passing info about the current/real context
node from the source (not the node-set created by the stylesheet)
to that formatting stage.
The named templates allow the context to be passed in as a
parameter, so that the bold/ital formatting template can use
context-aware condition checking.
This was basically necessary in order to suppress bold formatting
in titles, which otherwise gets screwed up because of the numbnut
way that roff handles nested bold/ital.
Closes #1674534). Much thanks to Daniel Leidert, whose in his
docbook-xsl bug-finding kung-fu has achieved Grand Master status.
● Michael(tm) Smith: block.xsl
Fixed handling of example instances by adding the example element
to the same template we use for processing figure. Closes
#1674538. Thanks to Daniel Leidert.
● Michael(tm) Smith: utility.xsl
Don't include lang in manpages filename/pathname if lang=en (that
is, only generate lang-qualified file-/pathnames for non-English).
● Michael(tm) Smith: endnotes.xsl
In manpages output, emit warnings for notesources (footnote, etc.)
that have something other than para as a child.
The numbered-with-hanging-indent formatting that's used for
rendering endnotes in the NOTES section of man pages places some
limits/assumptions on how the DocBook source is marked up; namely,
for notesources (footnote, annotation, etc.) that can contain
block-level children, if the they have a block-level child such as
a table or itemizedlist or orderedlist that is the first child of
a footnote, we have no way of rendering/indenting its content
properly in the endnotes list.
Thus, the manpages stylesheet not emits a warning message for that
case, and suggests the "fix" (which is to wrap the table or
itemizedlist or whatever in a para that has some preferatory text.
● Michael(tm) Smith: utility.xsl
Added support to mixed-block template for handling tables in
mixed-blocks (e.g., as child of para) correctly.
● Michael(tm) Smith: table.xsl; synop.xsl; block.xsl; info.xsl; lists.xsl;
refentry.xsl; end⋯
Reverted necessary escaping of backslash, dot, and dash
out of the well-intentioned (but it now appears,
misguided) "marker" mechanism (introduced in the 1.72.0
release) -- which made use of alternative "marker"
characters as internal representations of those
characters, and then replaced them just prior to
serialization -- and back into what's basically the
system that was used prior to the 1.69.0 release; that
is, into a part of stylesheet code that gets executed
at the beginning of processing -- before any other roff
markup up is. This change obviates the need for the
marker system. It also requires a lot less RAM during
processing (for large files, the marker mechanism
ending up requiring gigabytes of memory).
Closes bug #1661177. Thanks to Scott Smedley for
providing a test case (the fvwm man page) that exposed
the problem with the marker mechanism.
Also moved the mechanism for converting non-breaking
spaces back into the same area of the stylesheet code.
● Michael(tm) Smith: lists.xsl
Fixed problem with incorrect formatting of nested variablelist.
Closes bug #1650931. Thanks to Daniel "Eagle Eye" Leidert.
● Michael(tm) Smith: lists.xsl
Make sure that all listitems in itemizedlist and orderedlist are
preceded by a blank line. This fixes a regression that occurred
when instances of the TP macro that were use in a previous
versions of the list-handling code were switched to RS/RE (because
TP doesn't support nesting). TP automatically generates a blank
line, but RS doesn't. So I added a .sp before each .RS
● Michael(tm) Smith: block.xsl; inline.xsl; param.xweb; docbook.xsl;
links.xsl; param.ent
Made a number of changes related to elements with
out-of-line content:
- Added handling for mediaobject & inlinemediaobject.
Each imagedata, audiodata, or videodata element
within a mediaobject or inline mediaobject is now
treated as a "notesource" and so handled in much the
same way as links and annotation/alt/footnotes.
That means a numbered marker is generated inline to
mark the place in the main flow where the imagedata,
audiodata, or videodata element occurs, and a
corresponding numbered endnote for it is generated in
the endnotes list at the end of the man page; the
endnote contains the URL from the fileref attribute
of the imagedata, audiodata, or videodata element.
For mediobject and inlinemediaobject instances that
have a textobject child, the textobject is displayed
within the main text flow.
- Renamed several man.link.* params to man.endnotes.*,
to reflect that fact that the endnotes list now
contains more than just links. Also did similar
renaming for a number of stylesheet-internal vars.
- Added support for xlink:href (along with existing
support for the legacy ulink element).
- Cleaned up and streamlined the endnotes-handling
code. It's still messy and klunky and the basic
mechanism it uses is very inefficent for documents
that contain a lot of notesources, but at least it's
a bit better than it was.
Eclipse
The following changes have been made to the eclipse code since the 1.72.0
release.
● Mauritz Jeanson: Makefile
Fixed bug #1715093: Makefile for creating profiled version of eclipse.xsl added.

Added normalize-space around to avoid leading whitespace from appearing in the output if there's extra leading whitespace (e.g. <title> Foo</title>) in the source
JavaHelp
The following changes have been made to the javahelp code since the 1.72.0
release.
● Mauritz Jeanson: javahelp.xsl

Added normalize-space() around titles and index entries to work around whitespace problems.
Added support for glossary and bibliography in toc and map files.

Fixed some broken formatting in source files for chunker.* params,
as pointed out by Dave Pawson.

Changed handling of reference auto-labeling such that reference
(when it appears at the component level) is now affected by the
label.from.part param, just as preface, chapter, and appendix.

Clarified that 'extension' refers to file names.
● Michael(tm) Smith: abstract.notitle.enabled.xml
Added new param abstract.notitle.enabled.
If non-zero, in output of the abstract element on titlepages,
display of the abstract title is suppressed.
Because sometimes you really don't want or need that title
there...
● Michael(tm) Smith: man.string.subst.map.xml
Updated manpages string-substitute map to reflect fact that
because of another recent change to suppress bold markup in .SH
output, we no longer need to add a workaround for the accidental
uppercasing of roff escapes that occurred previously.
● Jirka Kosek: margin.note.float.type.xml; title.font.family.xml;

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, it’s 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 don’t
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, it’s 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 ١.
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 "<xsl:text>&#x0a;</xsl:text>", 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 "<xsl:text>&#x0a;</xsl:text>", 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 Molhanec’s XSLTHL. More details are available at Jirka Kosek’s
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

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.

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/

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

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 <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
● 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

● 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

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

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

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.

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

● 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.

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://

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 ;-).

● 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.

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">

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.

● Process alt text with normalize-space(). Replace tab indents with spaces.
Modified: html/graphics.xsl,1.57 - Robert Stayton

entry with the corresponding abbrev.
Modified: html/biblio.xsl,1.26; html/inline.xsl,1.47; html/xref.xsl,1.58 -

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?

● 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 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 "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
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.

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.

● 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.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

● 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.

● 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/

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

● 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.

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.

● 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.

Params
The following changes have been made to the params code since the 1.69.1
release.
● New parameters to set header/footer table minimum height.
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 ;-).

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.

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 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 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 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.

man.th.extra2.max.length.xml,1.3; params/

● 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 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.

● 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.

Profiling
The following changes have been made to the profiling code since the 1.69.1
release.
● 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.

Release 1.69.1
This release is a minor bug-fix update to the 1.69.0 release. Along with bug
fixes, it includes one configuration-parameter change: The default value of the
annotation.support parameter is now 0 (off). The reason for that change is that
there have been reports that annotation handling is causing a significant
performance degradation in processing of large documents with xsltproc.
Release 1.69.0
The release includes major feature changes, particularly in the manpages
stylesheets, as well as a large number of bug fixes.
As with all DocBook Project “dot zero” releases, this is an experimental
release .
Common
● 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):
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: <?dbchoice choice="ou">.
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 <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.
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 <?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):

● 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 &#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:
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).
<refentry>
<info>
<date>2003-10-20</date> 1
</info>
<refmeta>
<refentrytitle>gtk-options</refentrytitle> 2
<manvolnum>7</manvolnum> 3
<refmiscinfo class="source-name">GTK+</refmiscinfo> 4
<refmiscinfo class="version">1.2</refmiscinfo> 5
<refmiscinfo class="manual">GTK+ User's Manual</refmiscinfo> 6
</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>
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:
○ For binaries, use somwething like: GNU, NET-2, SLS Distribution,
MCC Distribution.
○ For system calls, use the version of the kernel that you are
currently looking at: Linux 0.99.11.
○ 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 <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:
For functions, the arguments are always specified using italics, even
in the SYNOPSIS section, where the rest of the function is specified in
bold.
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.
Release 1.68.1
The release adds localization support for Farsi (thanks to Sina Heshmati) and
improved support for the XLink-based DocBook NG db:link element. Other than
that, it is a minor bug-fix update to the 1.68.0 release. The main thing it
fixes is a build error that caused the XSLT Java extensions to be jarred up
with the wrong package structure. Thanks to Jens Stavnstrup for quickly
reporting the problem, and to Mauritz Jeanson for investigating and finding the
cause.
Release 1.68.0
This release includes some features changes, particularly for FO/PDF output,
and a number of bug fixes.
FO
● Moved footnote properties to attribute-sets.
● Added support for side floats, margin notes, and custom floats.
● Added new parameters body.start.indent and body.end.indent to the
set.flow.properties template.
● Added support for xml:id
● Added support for refdescriptor.
● Added support for multiple refnamedivs.
● Added index.entry.properties attribute-set to support customization of
index entries.
● Added set.flow.properties template call to each fo:flow to support
customizations entry point.
● Add support for @floatstyle in figure
● Moved hardcoded properties for index division titles to the
index.div.title.properties attribute-set.
● Added support for table-layout="auto" for XEP.
● Added index.div.title.properties attribute-set.
● $verbose parameter is now passed to most elements.
● Added refentry to toc in part, as it is permitted by the DocBook schema/
DTD.
● Added backmatter elements and article to toc in part, since they are
permitted by the DocBook schema/DTD.
● Added mode="toc" for simplesect, since it is now permitted in the toc if
simplesect.in.toc is set.
● Moved hard-coded properties to nongraphical.admonintion.properties and
graphical.admonition.properties attribute sets.
● Added support for sidebar-width and float-type processing instructions in
sidebar.
● For tables with HTML markup elements, added support for dbfo bgcolor PI,
the attribute-sets named table.properties, informaltable.properties,
table.table.properties, and table.cell.padding. Also added support for the
templates named table.cell.properties and table.cell.block.properties so
that tabstyles can be implemented. Also added support for tables containing
only tr instead of tbody with tr.
● Added new paramater hyphenate.verbatim.characters which can specify
characters after which a line break can occur in verbatim environments.
This parameter can be used to extend the initial set of characters which
contain only space and non-breakable space.
● Added itemizedlist.label.markup to enable selection of different bullet
symbol. Also added several potential bullet characters, commented out by
default.
● Enabled all id's in XEP output for external olinking.
HTML
● Added support for refdescriptor.
● Added support for multiple refnamedivs.
● Added support for xml:id
● refsynopsisdiv as a section for counting section levels
Images
● Added new SVG admonition graphics and navigation images.
Release 1.67.2
This release fixes a table bug introduced in the 1.67.1 release.
Release 1.67.1
This release includes a number of bug fixes.
The following lists provide details about API and feature changes.
FO
● Tables: Inherited cell properties are now passed to the
table.cell.properties template so they can be overridden by a
customization.
● Tables: Added support for bgcolor PI on table row element.
● TOCs: Added new parameter simplesect.in.toc; default value of 0 causes
simplesect to be omitted from TOCs; to cause simplesect to be included in
TOCs, you must set the value of simplesect.in.toc to 1.Comment from Norm:
Simplesect elements aren't supposed to appear in the ToC at all... The
use case for simplesect is when, for example, every chapter in a book
ends with "Exercises" or "For More Information" sections and you don't
want those to appear in the ToC.
● Sections: Reverted change that caused a variable reference to be used in a
template match and rewrote code to preserve intended semantics.
● Lists: Added workaround to prevent "* 0.60 + 1em" garbage in list output
from PassiveTeX
● Moved the literal attributes from component.title to the
component.title.properties attribute-set so they can be customized.
● Lists: Added glossdef's first para to special handling in
fo:list-item-body.
HTML
● TOCs: Added new parameter simplesect.in.toc; for details, see the list of
FO changes for this release.
● Indexing: Added new parameter index.prefer.titleabbrev; when set to 1,
index references will use titleabbrev instead of title when available.
HTML Help
● Added support for generating windows-1252-encoded output using Saxon; for
more details, see the list of XSL Java extensions changes for this release.
man pages
● Replaced named/numeric character-entity references for non-breaking space
with groff equivalent (backslash-tilde).
XSL Java extensions
● Saxon extensions: Added the Windows1252 class. It extends Saxon 6.5.x with
the windows-1252 character set, which is particularly useful when
generating HTML Help for Western European Languages (code from Pontus
Haglund and contributed to the DocBook community by Sectra AB, Sweden).
To use:
1. Make sure that the Saxon 6.5.x jar file and the jar file for the
DocBook XSL Java extensions are in your CLASSPATH
2. Create a DocBook XSL customization layer -- a file named
mystylesheet.xsl or whatever -- that, at a minimum, contains the
following:
<xsl:stylesheet
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
version='1.0'>
<xsl:import href="http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/htmlhelp/htmlhelp.xsl"/>
<xsl:output method="html" encoding="WINDOWS-1252" indent="no"/>
<xsl:param name="htmlhelp.encoding" select="'WINDOWS-1252'"></xsl:param>
<xsl:param name="chunker.output.encoding" select="'WINDOWS-1252'"></xsl:param>
<xsl:param name="saxon.character.representation" select="'native'"></xsl:param>
</xsl:stylesheet>
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 <tt></tt> output with <code></code>
● 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.
○ Extended full olink support to FO output.
○ Add support for xrefstyle attribute in olinks.
○ 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:
○ Added table.table.properties attribute set to add properties to the
fo:table element.
○ 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 <a name="id"> 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. (It’s 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, é,
ë 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:
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
version="1.0">
<xsl:import href="http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/fo/docbook.xsl"/>
<xsl:include href="http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/fo/autoidx-ng.xsl"/>
</xsl:stylesheet>
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 1.62.0—1.63.2
● 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 <?dbtimestamp format
="Y-m-d H:M:S"?> 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 $toc PI to turn on qandaset TOC.
● Added process.chunk.footnotes to sect2 through 5 to fix bug of missing
footnotes when chunk level greater than 1.
● Added paramater toc.max.depth which controls maximal depth of ToC as
requested by PHP-DOC group.
● Exempted titleabbrev from preamble processing in lists, and fixed
variablelist preamble code to use the same syntax as the other lists.
● Added support for elements between variablelist and first varlistentry
since DocBook 4.2 supports that now.
Release 1.60.1
Lots of bug fixes.
● The format of the titlepage.templates.xml files and the stylesheet that
transforms them have been significantly changed. All of the attributes used
to control the templates are now namespace qualified. So what used to be:
<t:titlepage element="article" wrapper="fo:block">
is now:
<t:titlepage t:element="article" t:wrapper="fo:block">
Attributes from other namespaces (including those that are unqualified) are
now copied directly through. In practice, this means that the names that
used to be “fo:” qualified:
<title named-template="component.title"
param:node="ancestor-or-self::article[1]"
fo:text-align="center"
fo:keep-with-next="always"
fo:font-size="&hsize5;"
fo:font-weight="bold"
fo:font-family="{$title.font.family}"/>
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.

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.

About dot-zero releases
DocBook Project “dot zero” releases should be considered experimental and are
always followed by stable “dot one plus” releases, usually within two or three
weeks. Please help to ensure the stability of “dot one plus” releases by
carefully testing each “dot zero” release and reporting back about any problems
you find.
It is not recommended that you use a “dot zero” release in a production system.
Instead, you should wait for the “dot one” or greater versions.
