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.
* Support DBv5 revisions with full author name (not only authorinitials)
HTML
The following changes have been made to the html code since the 1.70.0
release.
* Support DBv5 revisions with full author name (not only authorinitials)
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).
* Support chunk.tocs.and.lots in HTML Help
Params
The following changes have been made to the params code since the 1.70.0
release.
* Added three new attribute sets (revhistory.title.properties,
revhistory.table.properties and revhistory.table.cell.properties) for
controlling appearance of revhistory in FO output.
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.
* Add support for qandaset.
* Support dbhtml/dbfo start PI for orderedlist numbering in both HTML and FO
* Added CVS header.
* Changed content model of text element to ANY rather than #PCDATA because
they could contain markup.
* 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.
* 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.
* Added support for "software" and "sectdesc" class values on refmiscinfo;
"software" is treated identically to "source", and "setdesc" is treated
identically to "manual".
* Added support for DocBook 5 namespace-stripping in manpages stylesheet.
Closes request #1210692.
* 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.
* 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.
* Add task template in title.markup mode.
* Add children (with ids) of formal objects to target data.
* Added support for case when personname doesn't contain specific name
markup (as allowed in DocBook 5.0)
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.
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.
* Added parameters for header/footer table minimum height.
* Add the index.method parameter.
* 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.
* Add support for TOC for qandaset in fo output.
* Added parameter ulink.hyphenate.chars. Added parameter insert.link
.page.number.
* Implemented feature request #942524 to add insert.link.page.number to
allow link element cross references to have a page number.
* Add support for ulink.hyphenate.chars so more characters can be break
points in urls.
* Implemented patch #1075144 to make the url text in a ulink in FO output an
active link as well.
* table footnotes now have their own table.footnote.properties attribute
set.
* Add qandaset to root.elements.
* Added mode="page.sequence" to make it easier to put content into a page
sequence. First used for qandaset.
* Implemented feature request #1434408 to support formatting of biblioentry.
* Added biblioentry.properties.
* Support PTC/Arbortext bookmarks
* Added table.footnote.properties to permit table footnotes to format
differently from regular footnotes.
* 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.
* Added new attribute set toc.line.properties for controlling appearance of
lines in ToC/LoT
* Added support for float to example and equation. Added support for pgwide
to figure, example, and equation (the latter two via a dbfo pgwide="1"
processing instruction).
* Add pgwide.properties attribute-set.
* Added refclass.suppress param.
If the value of refclass.suppress is non-zero, then display refclass
contents is suppressed in output. Affects HTML and FO output only.
* Improved support for task subelements
* Adjusted spacing around K&R-formatted Funcdef and Paramdef output such
that it can more easily be discerned where one ends and the other begins.
Closes #1213264.
* Made handling of paramdef/parameter in FO output consistent with that in
HTML and manpages output. Closes #1213259.
* Made handling of Refnamediv consistent with formatting in HTML and
manpages output; specifically, changed so that Refname (comma-separated
list of multiple instances found) is used (instead of Refentrytitle as
previously), then em-dash, then the Refpurpose. Closes #1212562.
* Added output of Releaseinfo to recto titlepage ("copyright" page) for Book
in FO output. This makes it consistent with HTML output. Closes #1327034.
Thanks to Paul DuBois for reporting.
* 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
* 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.
* Add support for keep-together PI to informal objects.
* Add support for fop1.extensions.
* Add support for fop1 bookmarks.
* Add fop1.extentions parameter to add support for fop development version.
* Start supporting fop development version, which will become fop version 1.
* Add template for task in mode="xref-to".
* table footnotes now also get footnote.properties attribute-set.
* Added index.separator named template to compute the separator punctuation
based on locale.
* Added support for link, olink, and xref within OO Classsynopsis and
children. (Because DocBook NG/5 allows it).
* Support date as an inline
* Added new parameter keep.relative.image.uris
* Map Unicode space characters U+2000-U+200A to fo:leaders.
* Output a real em dash for em-dash dingbat (instead of two hypens).
* Support default label width parameters for itemized and ordered lists
* 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.
* Added parameters to support localization of index item punctuation.
* Added index.number.separator, index.range.separator, and
index.term.separator parameters to support localization of punctuation in
index entries.
* 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.
* 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.
* 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.
* Add sidebar titlepage placeholder attset for styles.
* Add titlepage for sidebar.
* Implemented RFE #1292615.
Added bunch of new parameters (attribute sets) that affect list
presentation: list.block.properties, itemizedlist.properties, orderedlist
.properties, itemizedlist.label.properties and orderedlist.label
.properties. Default behaviour of stylesheets has not been changed but
further customizations will be much more easier.
* Implemented RFE #1242092.
You can enable crop marks in your document by setting crop.marks=1 and
xep.extensions=1. Appearance of crop marks can be controlled by parameters
crop.mark.bleed (6pt), crop.mark.offset (24pt) and crop.mark.width
(0.5pt).
Also there is new named template called user-xep-pis. You can overwrite it
in order to produce some PIs that can control XEP as described in
http://www.renderx.com/reference.html#Output_Formats
HTML
The following changes have been made to the html code since the 1.69.1
release.
* implemented index.method parameter and three methods.
* added index.method parameter to support 3 indexing methods.
* Implemented feature request #1072510 as a processing instruction to permit
including external HTML content into HTML output.
* 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 ;-).
* Support dbhtml/dbfo start PI for orderedlist numbering in both HTML and FO
* Allow ToC without title also for set and book.
* Implemented floats uniformly for figure, example, equation and
informalfigure, informalexample, and informalequation.
* 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.
* Added two new params: html.head.legalnotice.link.types and html.head.
legalnotice.link.multiple.
If the value of the generate.legalnotice.link is non-zero, then the
stylesheet generates (in the head section of the HTML source) either a
single HTML link element or, if the value of the html.head.legalnotice.
link.multiple is non-zero, one link element for each link type specified.
Each link has the following attributes:
- a rel attribute whose value is derived from the value of html.head.
legalnotice.link.types
- an href attribute whose value is set to the URL of the file containing
the legalnotice
- a title attribute whose value is set to the title of the corresponding
legalnotice (or a title programatically determined by the stylesheet)
For example:
<link rel="copyright" href="ln-id2524073.html" title="Legal Notice">
Closes #1476450. Thanks to Sam Steingold.
* Added refclass.suppress param.
If the value of refclass.suppress is non-zero, then display refclass
contents is suppressed in output. Affects HTML and FO output only.
* Improved support for task subelements
* 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.
* Content of citation element is automatically linked to the bibliographic
entry with the corresponding abbrev.
* Add template for task in mode="xref-to".
* Suppress ID warnings if the .warnings parameter is 0
* Add support for floatstyle to figure.
* 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.
* Added 3 parameters for overriding gentext for index punctuation.
* Added parameters to support localization of index item punctuation. Added
index.separator named template to compute the separator punctuation based
on locale.
* 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; }
* Added a chunker.output.quiet top-level parameter so that the chunker can
be made quiet by default
* Added support for link, olink, and xref within OO Classsynopsis and
children. (Because DocBook NG/5 allows it).
* 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.
* Support date as an inline
* Added new parameter keep.relative.image.uris
* Added two new parameters for handling of multi-term varlistentry elements:
variablelist.term.break.after: When the variablelist.term.break.after is
non-zero, it will generate a line break after each term multi-term
varlistentry.
variablelist.term.separator: When a varlistentry contains multiple term
elements, the string specified in the value of the
variablelist.term.separator parameter is placed after each term except the
last. The default is ", " (a comma followed by a space). To suppress
rendering of the separator, set the value of variablelist.term.separator
to the empty string ("").
These parameters are primarily intended to be useful if you have
multi-term varlistentries that have long terms.
Closes #1306676. Thanks to Sam Steingold for providing an example "lots of
long terms" doc that demonstrated the value of having these options.
Also, added normalize-space() call to processing of each term.
This change affects all output formats (HTML, PDF, manpages). The default
behavior should pretty much remain the same as before, but it is possible
(as always) that the change may introduce some new bugginess.
* Added "wrapper-name" param to inline.charseq named template, enabling it
to output inlines other than just "span". Acronym and Abbrev templates now
use inline.charseq to output HTML "acronym" and "abbr" elements (instead
of "span"). Closes #1305468. Thanks to Sam Steingold for suggesting the
change.
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.
* Added man.table.footnotes.divider param.
In each table that contains footenotes, the string specified by the man.
table.footnotes.divider parameter is output before the list of footnotes
for the table.
* 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.font.table.headings and man.font.table.title params, for
controlling font in table headings and titles.
* Added man.font.funcsynopsisinfo and man.font.funcprototype params, for
specifying the roff font (for example, BI, B, I) for funcsynopsisinfo and
funcprototype output.
* Added man.segtitle.suppress param.
If the value of man.segtitle.suppress is non-zero, then display of
segtitle contents is suppressed in output.
* 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).
* Added boolean man.output.in.separate.dir param, to control whether or not
man files are output in separate directory.
* Added options for controlling indentation of verbatim output. Controlled
through the man.indentation.verbatims.adjust and
man.indentation.verbatims.value params. Closes #1242997
* 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.
* Changed line-spacing call before synopfragment to use ".sp -1n" ("n" units
specified) instead of plain ".sp -1"
* 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.
* Refined XPath statements and notification messages for refentry metadata
handling.
* 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.
* Drastically reworked all of the XPath expressions used in refentry
metadata gathering -- completely removed $parentinfo and turned $info into
a set of nodes that includes the *info contents of the Refentry plus the
*info contents all all of its ancestor elements. The basic XPath
expression now used throughout is (using the example of checking for a
date):
(($info[//date])[last()]/date)[1].
That selects the "last" *info/date date in document order -- that is, the
one eitther on the Refentry itself or on the closest ancestor to the
Refentry.
It's likely this change may break some things; may need to pick up some
pieces later.
Also, changed the default value for the man.th.extra2.max.length from 40
to 30.
* Added support for DocBook 5 namespace-stripping in manpages stylesheet.
Closes request #1210692.
* 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].
* Added handling for table titles. Also fixed handling of nested tables;
nest tables are now "extracted" and displayed just after their parent
tables.
* 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.
* 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.
* 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'".)
* 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.
* Improved handling or Author/Editor/Othercredit.
Reworked content of (non-visible) comment added at top of each page
(metadata stuff).
Added support for generating a manifest file (useful for cleaning up after
builds, etc.)
* 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.
* Support multiple indexing methods for different languages.
* 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.
* add support for page number references to link element too.
* Add support for more characters to hyphen on when ulink.hyphenate is
turned on.
* New attribute-set to format biblioentry and bibliomixed.
* 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 ;-).
* Added new attribute set toc.line.properties for controlling appearance of
lines in ToC/LoT
* Allow table footnotes to have different properties from regular footnotes.
* Set properties for pgwide="1" objects.
* 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.
* Added two new params: html.head.legalnotice.link.types and html.head.
legalnotice.link.multiple.
If the value of the generate.legalnotice.link is non-zero, then the
stylesheet generates (in the head section of the HTML source) either a
single HTML link element or, if the value of the html.head.legalnotice.
link.multiple is non-zero, one link element for each link type specified.
Each link has the following attributes:
- a rel attribute whose value is derived from the value of html.head.
legalnotice.link.types
- an href attribute whose value is set to the URL of the file containing
the legalnotice
- a title attribute whose value is set to the title of the corresponding
legalnotice (or a title programatically determined by the stylesheet)
For example:
<link rel="copyright" href="ln-id2524073.html" title="Legal Notice">
Closes #1476450. Thanks to Sam Steingold.
* Added the following params:
- man.indent.width (string-valued) - man.indent.refsect (boolean) -
man.indent.blurbs (boolean) - man.indent.lists (boolean) -
man.indent.verbatims (boolean)
Note that in earlier snapshots, man.indent.width was named
man.indentation.default.value and the boolean params had names like
man.indentation.*.adjust. Also the man.indent.blurbs param was called
man.indentation.authors.adjust (or something).
The behavior now is: If the value of a particular man.indent.* boolean
param is non-zero, the corresponding contents (refsect*, list items,
authorblurb/personblurb, vervatims) are displayed with a left margin
indented by a width equal to the value of man.indent.width.
* Added man.table.footnotes.divider param.
In each table that contains footenotes, the string specified by the man.
table.footnotes.divider parameter is output before the list of footnotes
for the table.
* 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.font.table.headings and man.font.table.title params, for
controlling font in table headings and titles.
* Added man.font.funcsynopsisinfo and man.font.funcprototype params, for
specifying the roff font (for example, BI, B, I) for funcsynopsisinfo and
funcprototype output.
* Changed to select="0" in refclass.suppress (instead of ..>0</..)
* Added man.segtitle.suppress param.
If the value of man.segtitle.suppress is non-zero, then display of
segtitle contents is suppressed in output.
* 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 refclass.suppress param.
If the value of refclass.suppress is non-zero, then display refclass
contents is suppressed in output. Affects HTML and FO output only.
* 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.
* Added support for "software" and "sectdesc" class values on refmiscinfo;
"software" is treated identically to "source", and "setdesc" is treated
identically to "manual".
* 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.
Closes #1452247. Thanks to Joe Orton for the feature request.
* fop.extensions now only for FOP version 0.20.5 and earlier.
* Support for fop1 different from fop 0.20.5 and earlier.
* Reset default value to empty string so template uses gentext first, then
the parameter value if not empty.
* 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?
* Added new parameter keep.relative.image.uris
* Support default label width parameters for itemized and ordered lists
* Added parameters to localize punctuation in indexes.
* Added two new parameters for handling of multi-term varlistentry elements:
variablelist.term.break.after: When the variablelist.term.break.after is
non-zero, it will generate a line break after each term multi-term
varlistentry.
variablelist.term.separator: When a varlistentry contains multiple term
elements, the string specified in the value of the
variablelist.term.separator parameter is placed after each term except the
last. The default is ", " (a comma followed by a space). To suppress
rendering of the separator, set the value of variablelist.term.separator
to the empty string ("").
These parameters are primarily intended to be useful if you have
multi-term varlistentries that have long terms.
Closes #1306676. Thanks to Sam Steingold for providing an example "lots of
long terms" doc that demonstrated the value of having these options.
Also, added normalize-space() call to processing of each term.
This change affects all output formats (HTML, PDF, manpages). The default
behavior should pretty much remain the same as before, but it is possible
(as always) that the change may introduce some new bugginess.
* Convert 'no' to string in default value.
* Implemented RFE #1292615.
Added bunch of new parameters (attribute sets) that affect list
presentation: list.block.properties, itemizedlist.properties, orderedlist
.properties, itemizedlist.label.properties and orderedlist.label
.properties. Default behaviour of stylesheets has not been changed but
further customizations will be much more easier.
* Implemented RFE #1242092.
You can enable crop marks in your document by setting crop.marks=1 and
xep.extensions=1. Appearance of crop marks can be controlled by parameters
crop.mark.bleed (6pt), crop.mark.offset (24pt) and crop.mark.width
(0.5pt).
Also there is new named template called user-xep-pis. You can overwrite it
in order to produce some PIs that can control XEP as described in
http://www.renderx.com/reference.html#Output_Formats
* Changed short descriptions in doc for *autolabel* params to match new
autolabel behavior.
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.
* 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.
Tools
The following changes have been made to the tools code since the 1.69.1
release.
* Moved Makefile.DocBook from contrib module to xsl module.
WordML
The following changes have been made to the wordml code since the 1.69.1
release.
* added contrib element, better handling of default paragraph style
* added bridgehead
* added blocks stylesheet to support bibliographies, glossaries and
qandasets
* added mediaobject caption
* added callouts
* added Word template file
* added abstract, fixed itemizedlist, ulink
* fixed Makefile added many features to Pages support added revhistory,
inlines, highlights, abstract
* fixed handling linebreaks when generating WordML added Apple Pages support
