$Id: pi.xsl 8487 2009-07-14 21:43:36Z bobstayton $ This is generated reference documentation for all user-specifiable processing instructions (PIs) in the DocBook XSL stylesheets for FO output. You add these PIs at particular points in a document to cause specific “exceptions” to formatting/output behavior. To make global changes in formatting/output behavior across an entire document, it’s better to do it by setting an appropriate stylesheet parameter (if there is one). dbfo_background-color Sets background color for an image dbfo background-color="color" Use the dbfo background-color PI before or after an image (graphic, inlinegraphic, imagedata, or videodata element) as a sibling to the element, to set a background color for the image. background-color="color" An HTML color value Background color dbfo_bgcolor Sets background color on a table row or table cell dbfo bgcolor="color" Use the dbfo bgcolor PI as child of a table row or cell to set a background color for that table row or cell. This PI works for both CALS and HTML tables. bgcolor="color" An HTML color value Cell background color dbfo_float-type Specifies float behavior for a sidebar dbfo float-type="margin.note" Use the dbfo float-type PI to specify the float behavior for a sidebar (to cause the sidebar to be displayed as a marginal note). float-type="margin.note" Specifies that the sidebar should be displayed as a marginal note. sidebar.float.type (parameter), sidebar.float.width (parameter), sidebar.properties (attribute-set), sidebar.title.properties (attribute-set) A sidebar as side float dbfo_funcsynopsis-style Specifies presentation style for a funcsynopsis dbfo funcsynopsis-style="kr"|"ansi" Use the dbfo funcsynopsis-style PI as a child of a funcsynopsis or anywhere within a funcsynopsis to control the presentation style for output of all funcprototype instances within that funcsynopsis. funcsynopsis-style="kr" Displays funcprototype output in K&R style funcsynopsis-style="ansi" Displays funcprototype output in ANSI style funcsynopsis.style dbfo_glossary-presentation Specifies presentation style for a glossary dbfo glossary-presentation="list"|"blocks" Use the dbfo glossary-presentation PI as a child of a glossary to control its presentation style. glossary-presentation="list" Displays the glossary as a list glossary-presentation="blocks" Displays the glossary as blocks glossary.as.blocks Glossary formatting in print dbfo_glosslist-presentation Specifies presentation style for a glosslist dbfo glosslist-presentation="list"|"blocks" Use the dbfo glosslist-presentation PI as a child of a glosslist to control its presentation style. glosslist-presentation="list" Displays the glosslist as a list glosslist-presentation="blocks" Displays the glosslist as blocks glosslist.as.blocks Glossary formatting in print dbfo_glossterm-width Specifies the glossterm width for a glossary or glosslist dbfo glossterm-width="width" Use the dbfo glossterm-width PI as a child of a glossary or glosslist to specify the width for output of glossterm instances in the output. glossterm-width="width" Specifies the glossterm width (including units) glossterm.width, glossterm.separation Glossary formatting in print dbfo_keep-together Specifies “keep” behavior for a table, example, figure, equation, procedure, or task dbfo keep-together="auto"|"always" Use the dbfo keep-together PI as a child of a formal object (table, example, figure, equation, procedure, or task) to specify “keep” behavior (to allow the object to “break” across a page). The PI also works with informaltable, informalexample, informalfigure and informalequation. keep-together="auto" Enables the object to break across a page keep-together="always" Prevents the object from breaking across a page (the default stylesheet behavior) formal.object.properties Keep-together processing instruction dbfo_label-width Specifies the label width for a qandaset, itemizedlist, orderedlist or calloutlist dbfo label-width="width" Use the dbfo label-width PI as a child of a qandaset, itemizedlist, orderedlist, or calloutlist to specify the width of labels. label-width="width" Specifies the label width (including units) Q and A formatting dbfo_linenumbering.everyNth Specifies interval for line numbers in verbatims dbfo linenumbering.everyNth="N" Use the dbfo linenumbering.everyNth PI as a child of a “verbatim” element – programlisting, screen, synopsis — to specify the interval at which lines are numbered. linenumbering.everyNth="N" Specifies numbering interval; a number is output before every Nth line linenumbering.everyNth Line numbering dbfo_linenumbering.separator Specifies separator text for line numbers in verbatims dbfo linenumbering.separator="text" Use the dbfo linenumbering.separator PI as a child of a “verbatim” element – programlisting, screen, synopsis — to specify the separator text output between the line numbers and content. linenumbering.separator="text" Specifies the text (zero or more characters) linenumbering.separator Line numbering dbfo_linenumbering.width Specifies width for line numbers in verbatims dbfo linenumbering.width="width" Use the dbfo linenumbering.width PI as a child of a “verbatim” element – programlisting, screen, synopsis — to specify the width set aside for line numbers. linenumbering.width="width" Specifies the width (inluding units) linenumbering.width Line numbering dbfo_list-presentation Specifies presentation style for a variablelist or segmentedlist dbfo list-presentation="list"|"blocks"|"table" Use the dbfo list-presentation PI as a child of a variablelist or segmentedlist to control the presentation style for the list (to cause it, for example, to be displayed as a table). list-presentation="list" Displays the list as a list list-presentation="blocks" (variablelist only) Displays the list as blocks list-presentation="table" (segmentedlist only) Displays the list as a table variablelist.as.blocks variablelist.as.table Variable list formatting in print dbfo_list-width Specifies the width of a horizontal simplelist dbfo list-width="width" Use the dbfo list-width PI as a child of a simplelist whose class value is horizontal, to specify the width of the simplelist. list-width="width" Specifies the simplelist width (including units) dbfo_orientation Specifies the orientation for a CALS table row or cell dbfo orientation="0"|"90"|"180"|"270"|"-90"|"-180"|"-270" Use the dbfo orientation PI as a child of a CALS table row or cell to specify the orientation (rotation) for the row or cell. orientation="0"|"90"|"180"|"270"|"-90"|"-180"|"-270" Specifies the number of degrees by which the cell or row is rotated dbfo_pgwide Specifies if an equation or example goes across full page width dbfo pgwide="0"|"1" Use the dbfo pgwide PI as a child of an equation or example to specify that the content should rendered across the full width of the page. pgwide="0" If zero, the content is rendered across the current text flow pgwide="1" If 1 (or any non-zero value), the content is rendered across the full width of the page pgwide.properties dbfo_rotated-width Specifies the width for a CALS table entry or row dbfo rotated-width="width" Use the dbfo rotated-width PI as a child of entry or row instance in a CALS table to specify the width of that the entry or row; or use it higher up in table to cause the width to be inherited recursively down. rotated-width="width" Specifies the width of a row or cell (including units) dbfo_sidebar-width Specifies the width of a sidebar dbfo sidebar-width="width" Use the dbfo sidebar-width PI as a child of a sidebar to specify the width of the sidebar. sidebar-width="width" Specifies the sidebar width (including units) sidebar.float.type parameter, sidebar.float.width parameter, sidebar.properties attribute-set, sidebar.title.properties A sidebar as side float dbfo_start (obsolete) Sets the starting number on an ordered list dbfo start="character" This PI is obsolete. The intent of it was to provide a means for setting a specific starting number for an ordered list. Instead of this PI, set a value for the override attribute on the first listitem in the list; that will have the same effect as what this PI was intended for. start="character" Specifies the character to use as the starting number; use 0-9, a-z, A-Z, or lowercase or uppercase Roman numerals List starting number dbfo_table-width Specifies the width for a CALS table or for revhistory output dbfo table-width="width" Use the dbfo table-width PI as a child or sibling of a CALS table, or as a child of an informaltable, entrytbl, or revhistory instance (which is rendered as a table in output) to specify the width of the table in output. table-width="width" Specifies the table width (including units or as a percentage) Table width dbfo_term-width Specifies the term width for a variablelist dbfo term-width="width" Use the dbfo term-width PI as a child of a variablelist to specify the width for term output. term-width="width" Specifies the term width (including units) Variable list formatting in print dbfo_toc Specifies whether a TOC should be generated for a qandaset dbfo toc="0"|"1" Use the dbfo toc PI as a child of a qandaset to specify whether a table of contents (TOC) is generated for the qandaset. toc="0" If zero, no TOC is generated toc="1" If 1 (or any non-zero value), a TOC is generated Q and A list of questions, Q and A formatting dbfo-need Specify a need for space (a kind of soft page break) dbfo-need height="n" [space-before="n"] A “need” is a request for space on a page.
