About dot-zero releases

These are the release notes for the DocBook XSL Stylesheets distribution. This
document lists enhancements and changes to the public APIs (user-configurable
parameters) and generally excludes descriptions of bug fixes, which are
instead documented in a separate file (plain text and HTML).

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.

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.

Profiling

The following changes have been made to the profiling code since the 1.71.1
release.

* Added support for profiling based on xml:lang and status attributes.

Release: 1.71.0

This is mainly a bug fix release, but it also includes two significant feature
changes:

Highlighting support added

The stylesheets now include support for source-code highlighting in output
of programlisting instances (controlled through the highlight.source
parameter). The Java-based implementation requires Saxon and makes use of
Michal Molhanecs XSLTHL. More details are available at Jirka Koseks
website:

http://xmlguru.cz/2006/07/docbook-syntax-highlighting

The support is currently limited to highlighting of XML, Java, PHP,
Delphi, Modula-2 sources, and INI files.

Changes to autoindexing

The templates that handle alternative indexing methods were reworked to
avoid errors produced by certain processors not being able to tolerate the
presence of unused functions. With this release, none of the code for the
'kimber' or 'kosek' methods is included in the default stylesheets. In
order to use one of those methods, your customization layer must import
one of the optional stylesheet modules:

* html/autoidx-kosek.xsl
* html/autoidx-kimber.xsl
* fo/autoidx-kosek.xsl
* fo/autoidx-kimber.xsl

See the index.method parameter reference page for more information.

Two other changes to note:

* The default indexing method now can handle accented characters in
latin-based alphabets, not just English. This means accented latin
letters will group and sort with their unaccented counterpart.
* The default value for the index.method parameter was changed from
'english' to 'basic' because now the default method can handle
latin-based alphabets, not just English.

The following is a list of changes that have been made since the 1.70.1
release.

Common

The following changes have been made to the common code since the 1.70.1
release.

* Added reference.autolabel parameter for controlling labels on
reference output.

* Support rows that are *completely* overlapped by the preceding row

* New modules for supporting indexing extensions.

* Support startinglinenumber on orderedlist

Extensions

The following changes have been made to the extensions code since the 1.70.1
release.

* Completely reworked extensions build system; now uses NetBeans and ant

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.

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 new email.delimiters.enabled param. If non-zero (the
default), delimiters are generated around e-mail addresses (output
of the email element). If zero, the delimiters are suppressed.

* Added qanda.nested.in.toc param. Default value is zero. If
non-zero, instances of "nested" Qandaentry (ones that are children
of Answer elements) are displayed in the TOC. Closes patch 1509018
(from Daniel Leidert). Currently on affects HTML output (no patch
for FO output provided).

* Improved handling of relative locations generated files

* Initial support of syntax highlighting of programlistings.

* Support org

* Support person

* Support $keep.relative.image.uris also when chunking

Highlighting

The following changes have been made to the highlighting code since the 1.70.1
release.

* Initial support of syntax highlighting of programlistings.

Manpages

The following changes have been made to the manpages code since the 1.70.1
release.

* Suppress footnote markers and output warning that footnotes are
not yet supported.

* Handle instances of address/otheraddr/ulink in author et al in the
same way as email instances; that is, display them on the same
linke as the author, editor, etc., name.

* Don't number or link-list any Ulink instance whose string value is
identical to the value of its url attribute. Just display it inline.

* Added new email.delimiters.enabled param. If non-zero (the
default), delimiters are generated around e-mail addresses (output
of the email element). If zero, the delimiters are suppressed.

* In manpages output, if the last/nearest *info element for
particular Refentry has multiple Copyright and/or Legalnotice
children, process them all (not just the first ones). Closes bug
1524576. Thanks to Sam Steingold for the report and to Daniel
Leidert for providing a patch.

Params

The following changes have been made to the params code since the 1.70.1
release.

* Added reference.autolabel parameter for controlling labels on
reference output.

* Added namespace declarations to document elements for all param files.

* Updated index.method doc to describe revised setup for importing index
extensions.

* Added several new HTML parameters for controlling appearance of
content on HTML title pages:

contrib.inline.enabled:
If non-zero (the default), output of the contrib element is
displayed as inline content rather than as block content.

editedby.enabled
If non-zero (the default), a localized Edited by heading is
displayed above editor names in output of the editor element.

* Added new email.delimiters.enabled param. If non-zero (the
default), delimiters are generated around e-mail addresses (output
of the email element). If zero, the delimiters are suppressed.

* Initial support of syntax highlighting of programlistings.

Tools

The following changes have been made to the tools code since the 1.70.1
release.

* Racheted down font sizes of headings in example makefile FO output.

* Added param and attribute set to example makefile, for getting
wrapping in verbatims in FO output.

* Renamed Makefile.paramDoc to Makefile.docParam.

* Added Makefile.paramDoc file, for creating versions of param.xsl
files with doc embedded.

* Added variable to example makefile for controlling whether HTML or
XHTML is generated.

Release: 1.70.1

This is a stable release of the 1.70 stylesheets. It includes only a few small
changes from 1.70.0.

The following is a list of changes that have been made since the 1.70.0
release.

The following changes have been made to the fo code since the 1.70.0 release.

* Added three new attribute sets (revhistory.title.properties,
revhistory.table.properties and revhistory.table.cell.properties) for
controlling appearance of revhistory in FO output.

Modified: fo/block.xsl,1.34; fo/param.ent,1.101; fo/param.xweb,1.114;
fo/titlepage.xsl,1.41; params/revhistory.table.cell.properties.xml,1.1;
params/revhistory.table.properties.xml,1.1;
params/revhistory.title.properties.xml,1.1 - Jirka Kosek

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

Modified: fo/block.xsl,1.33; fo/titlepage.xsl,1.40 - Jirka Kosek

HTML

The following changes have been made to the html code since the 1.70.0
release.

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

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

HTMLHelp

The following changes have been made to the htmlhelp code since the 1.70.0
release.

* htmlhelp.generate.index is now param, not variable. This means that you
can override its setting from outside. This is useful when you generate
indexterms on the fly (see
http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2004/07/14/dbndx.html?page=3).

Modified: htmlhelp/htmlhelp-common.xsl,1.38 - Jirka Kosek

* Support chunk.tocs.and.lots in HTML Help

Modified: htmlhelp/htmlhelp-common.xsl,1.37 - Jirka Kosek

Params

The following changes have been made to the params code since the 1.70.0
release.

* Added three new attribute sets (revhistory.title.properties,
revhistory.table.properties and revhistory.table.cell.properties) for
controlling appearance of revhistory in FO output.

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

The following changes have been made to the fo code since the 1.69.1 release.

* Adapted to the new indexing code. Now works just like a wrapper that calls
kosek indexing method, originally implemented here.

Modified: fo/autoidx-ng.xsl,1.5 - Jirka Kosek

* Added parameters for header/footer table minimum height.

Modified: fo/pagesetup.xsl,1.60; fo/param.ent,1.100; fo/param.xweb,1.113 -
Robert Stayton

* Add the index.method parameter.

Modified: fo/param.ent,1.99; fo/param.xweb,1.112 - Robert Stayton

* Integrate support for three indexing methods: - the original English-only
method. - Jirka Kosek's method using EXSLT extensions. - Eliot Kimber's
method using Saxon extensions. Use the 'index.method' parameter to select.

Modified: fo/autoidx.xsl,1.38 - Robert Stayton

* Add support for TOC for qandaset in fo output.

Modified: fo/autotoc.xsl,1.30; fo/qandaset.xsl,1.20 - Robert Stayton

* Added parameter ulink.hyphenate.chars. Added parameter insert.link
.page.number.

Modified: fo/param.ent,1.98; fo/param.xweb,1.111 - Robert Stayton

* Implemented feature request #942524 to add insert.link.page.number to
allow link element cross references to have a page number.

Modified: fo/xref.xsl,1.67 - Robert Stayton

* Add support for ulink.hyphenate.chars so more characters can be break
points in urls.

Modified: fo/xref.xsl,1.66 - Robert Stayton

* Implemented patch #1075144 to make the url text in a ulink in FO output an
active link as well.

Modified: fo/xref.xsl,1.65 - Robert Stayton

* table footnotes now have their own table.footnote.properties attribute
set.

Modified: fo/footnote.xsl,1.23 - Robert Stayton

* Add qandaset to root.elements.

Modified: fo/docbook.xsl,1.41 - Robert Stayton

* Added mode="page.sequence" to make it easier to put content into a page
sequence. First used for qandaset.

Modified: fo/component.xsl,1.37 - Robert Stayton

* Implemented feature request #1434408 to support formatting of biblioentry.

Modified: fo/biblio.xsl,1.35 - Robert Stayton

* Added biblioentry.properties.

Modified: fo/param.ent,1.97; fo/param.xweb,1.110 - Robert Stayton

* Support PTC/Arbortext bookmarks

Modified: fo/docbook.xsl,1.40; fo/ptc.xsl,1.1 - Norman Walsh

* Added table.footnote.properties to permit table footnotes to format
differently from regular footnotes.

Modified: fo/param.ent,1.96; fo/param.xweb,1.109 - Robert Stayton

* Refactored table templates to unify their processing and support all
options in all types. Now table and informaltable, in both Cals and Html
markup, use the same templates where possible, and all support pgwide,
rotation, and floats. There is also a placeholder table.container template
to support wrapping a table in a layout table, so the XEP table title
"continued" extension can be more easily implemented.

Modified: fo/formal.xsl,1.52; fo/htmltbl.xsl,1.9; fo/table.xsl,1.48 -
Robert Stayton

* Added new attribute set toc.line.properties for controlling appearance of
lines in ToC/LoT

Modified: fo/autotoc.xsl,1.29; fo/param.ent,1.95; fo/param.xweb,1.108 -
Jirka Kosek

* Added support for float to example and equation. Added support for pgwide
to figure, example, and equation (the latter two via a dbfo pgwide="1"
processing instruction).

Modified: fo/formal.xsl,1.51 - Robert Stayton

* Add pgwide.properties attribute-set.

Modified: fo/param.ent,1.94; fo/param.xweb,1.107 - Robert Stayton

* Added refclass.suppress param.

If the value of refclass.suppress is non-zero, then display refclass
contents is suppressed in output. Affects HTML and FO output only.

Modified: fo/param.ent,1.93; fo/param.xweb,1.106; html/param.ent,1.90;
html/param.xweb,1.99; params/refclass.suppress.xml,1.1 - Michael(tm) Smith

* Improved support for task subelements

Modified: fo/task.xsl,1.3; html/task.xsl,1.3 - Jirka Kosek

* Adjusted spacing around K&R-formatted Funcdef and Paramdef output such
that it can more easily be discerned where one ends and the other begins.
Closes #1213264.

Modified: fo/synop.xsl,1.18 - Michael(tm) Smith

* Made handling of paramdef/parameter in FO output consistent with that in
HTML and manpages output. Closes #1213259.

Modified: fo/synop.xsl,1.17 - Michael(tm) Smith

* Made handling of Refnamediv consistent with formatting in HTML and
manpages output; specifically, changed so that Refname (comma-separated
list of multiple instances found) is used (instead of Refentrytitle as
previously), then em-dash, then the Refpurpose. Closes #1212562.

Modified: fo/refentry.xsl,1.30 - Michael(tm) Smith

* Added output of Releaseinfo to recto titlepage ("copyright" page) for Book
in FO output. This makes it consistent with HTML output. Closes #1327034.
Thanks to Paul DuBois for reporting.

Modified: fo/titlepage.templates.xml,1.28 - Michael(tm) Smith

* Added condition for setting block-progression-dimension.minimum on
table-row, instead of height, when fop1.extensions is non-zero. For an
explanation of the reason for the change, see:
http://wiki.apache.org/xmlgraphics-fop/Troubleshooting/CommonLogMessages

Modified: fo/pagesetup.xsl,1.59 - Michael(tm) Smith

* Added new refclass.suppress param for suppressing display of Refclass in
HTML and FO output. Did not add it to manpages because manpages stylesheet
is currently just silently ignoring Refclass anyway. Closes request
#1461065. Thanks to Davor Ocelic (docelic) for reporting.

* 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.

HTML

The following changes have been made to the html code since the 1.69.1
release.

* implemented index.method parameter and three methods.

Modified: html/autoidx.xsl,1.28 - Robert Stayton

* added index.method parameter to support 3 indexing methods.

Modified: html/param.ent,1.94; html/param.xweb,1.103 - Robert Stayton

* Implemented feature request #1072510 as a processing instruction to permit
including external HTML content into HTML output.

Modified: html/pi.xsl,1.9 - Robert Stayton

* Added new parameter chunk.tocs.and.lots.has.title which controls presence
of title in a separate chunk with ToC/LoT. Disabling title can be very
useful if you are generating frameset output (well, yes those frames, but
some customers really want them ;-).

Modified: html/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.

html/param.xweb,1.101; params/autotoc.label.in.hyperlink.xml,1.1 -
Michael(tm) Smith

* Added two new params: html.head.legalnotice.link.types and html.head.
legalnotice.link.multiple.

If the value of the generate.legalnotice.link is non-zero, then the
stylesheet generates (in the head section of the HTML source) either a
single HTML link element or, if the value of the html.head.legalnotice.
link.multiple is non-zero, one link element for each link type specified.
Each link has the following attributes:

- a rel attribute whose value is derived from the value of html.head.
legalnotice.link.types

- an href attribute whose value is set to the URL of the file containing
the legalnotice

- a title attribute whose value is set to the title of the corresponding
legalnotice (or a title programatically determined by the stylesheet)

For example:

* Suppress ID warnings if the .warnings parameter is 0

Modified: html/html.xsl,1.17 - Norman Walsh

* Add support for floatstyle to figure.

Modified: html/formal.xsl,1.21 - Robert Stayton

* Handling of xref to area/areaset need support in extensions code also. I
currently have no time to touch extensions code, so code is here to be
enabled when extension is fixed also.

Modified: html/xref.xsl,1.56 - Jirka Kosek

* Added 3 parameters for overriding gentext for index punctuation.

Modified: html/param.ent,1.89; html/param.xweb,1.98 - Robert Stayton

* Added parameters to support localization of index item punctuation. Added
index.separator named template to compute the separator punctuation based
on locale.

Modified: html/autoidx.xsl,1.27 - Robert Stayton

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

WARNING: Because this change places an additional DIV between the DIV
wrapper for the equation and the equation contents, it may break some
existing CSS stylesheets that have been created with the assumption that
there would never be an intervening DIV there.

The following is an example of what Equation output looks like as a result
of the changes described above.

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.

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.

* 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.

manpages/param.ent,1.21; manpages/param.xweb,1.23;
params/man.table.footnotes.divider.xml,1.1 - Michael(tm) Smith

* Added the man.output.in.separate.dir, man.output.base.dir, and
man.output.subdirs.enabled parameters.

The man.output.base.dir parameter specifies the base directory into which
man-page files are output. The man.output.subdirs.enabled parameter
controls whether the files are output in subdirectories within the base
directory.

The values of the man.output.base.dir and man.output.subdirs.enabled
parameters are used only if the value of man.output.in.separate.dir
parameter is non-zero. If the value of man.output.in.separate.dir is zero,
man-page files are not output in a separate directory.

pages generated by the stylesheet transformation is written to the file
named by man.output.manifest.filename

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 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.

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.

* 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.

* Improved handling or Author/Editor/Othercredit.

Reworked content of (non-visible) comment added at top of each page
(metadata stuff).

Added support for generating a manifest file (useful for cleaning up after
builds, etc.)

Modified: manpages/docbook.xsl,1.46; manpages/info.xsl,1.9;
manpages/other.xsl,1.12; manpages/utility.xsl,1.6 - Michael(tm) Smith

* Added two new parameters for handling of multi-term varlistentry elements:

variablelist.term.break.after: When the variablelist.term.break.after is
non-zero, it will generate a line break after each term multi-term
varlistentry.

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.

pages generated by the stylesheet transformation is written to the file
named by man.output.manifest.filename

* Added refclass.suppress param.

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.

* 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):
abbrev, accel, acronym, action, application, authorinitials, beginpage,
citation, citerefentry, citetitle, city, classname, code, command,
computeroutput, constant, country, database, email, envar, errorcode,
errorname, errortext, errortype, exceptionname, fax, filename, firstname,
firstterm, foreignphrase, function, glossterm, guibutton, guiicon,
guilabel, guimenu, guimenuitem, guisubmenu, hardware, honorific,
interface, interfacename, keycap, keycode, keysym, lineage, lineannotation
, literal, markup, medialabel, methodname, mousebutton, option, optional,
otheraddr, othername, package, parameter, personname, phone, pob, postcode
, productname, productnumber, prompt, property, quote, refentrytitle,
remark, replaceable, returnvalue, tag, shortcut, state, street,
structfield, structname, subscript, superscript, surname, symbol,
systemitem, tag, termdef, token, trademark, type, uri, userinput, varname,
and wordasword

* Added support for chunking revhistory into separate file (similar to the
support for doing same with legalnotice). Patch from Thomas Schraitle.
Controlled through new generate.revhistory.link parameter.

* l10n.xsl: Made language codes RFC compliant. Added a new boolean config
parameter, l10n.lang.value.rfc.compliant. If it is non-zero (the default),
any underscore in a language code will be converted to a hyphen in HTML
output. If it is zero, the language code will be left as-is.

man

This release closes out 44 manpages stylesheet bug reports and feature
requests. It adds more than 35 new configuration parameters for controlling
aspects of man-page output -- including hyphenation and justification,
handling of links, conversion of Unicode characters, and contents of man-page
headers and footers.

* New options for globally disabling/enabling hyphenation and justification:
man.justify and man.hyphenate.

Note that the default for the both of those is zero (off), because
justified text looks good only when it is also hyphenated; to quote the
Hyphenation node from the groff info page:

Since the odds are not great for finding a set of words, for every
output line, which fit nicely on a line without inserting excessive
amounts of space between words, `gtroff' hyphenates words so that it
can justify lines without inserting too much space between words.

The problem is that groff can end up hyphenating a lot of things that you
don't want hyphenated (variable names and command names, for example).
Keeping both justification and hyphenation disabled ensures that hyphens
won't get inserted where you don't want to them, and you don't end up with
lines containing excessive amounts of space between words. These default
settings run counter to how most existing man pages are formatted. But
there are some notable exceptions, such as the perl man pages.

* Added parameters for controlling hyphenation of computer inlines,
filenames, and URLs. By default, even when hyphenation is enabled
(globally), hyphenation is now suppressed for "computer inlines"
(currently, just classname, constant, envar, errorcode, option,
replaceable, userinput, type, and varname, and for filenames, and for URLs
from link. It can be (re)enabled using the man.hyphenate.computer.inlines,
man.hyphenate.filenames, and man.hyphenate.urls parameters.

* Implemented a new system for replacing Unicode characters. There are two
parts to the new system: a string substitution map for doing essential
replacements, and a character map that can optionally be disabled and
enabled.

The new system fixes all open bugs that had to do with literal Unicode
numbered entities such as &#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:

o For binaries, use somwething like: GNU, NET-2, SLS Distribution,
MCC Distribution.

o For system calls, use the version of the kernel that you are
currently looking at: Linux 0.99.11.

o For library calls, use the source of the function: GNU, BSD 4.3,
Linux DLL 4.4.1.

In practice, there are many pages that simply have a version number in
the source field. So, it looks like what we have is a two-part
field, Name Version, where:

Name

product name (e.g., BSD) or org. name (e.g., GNU)

Version

version name

Each part is optional. If the Name is a product name, then the Version
is probably the version of the product. Or there may be no Name, in
which case, if there is a Version, it is probably the version of the
item itself, not the product it is part of. Or, if the Name is an
organization name, then there probably will be no Version.

To provide this content, if the refentry.source.name.profile.enabled
and refentry.version.profile.enabled parameter are non-zero, the
stylesheets check the value of refentry.source.name.profile
refentry.version.profile.

Otherwise, by default, they check the following places, in the
following order:

1. *info/productnumber

2. *info/productnumber

3. refmeta/refmiscinfo[@class = 'version']

4. parentinfo/productnumber

5. *info/productname

6. parentinfo/productname

7. refmeta/refmiscinfo

8. [nothing found, so leave it empty]

extra3 field

On Linux systems and on systems with a modern groff, the content of
the extra3 field are what shows up in the center header position of
each page. Some man pages have extra2 content, some don't. If a
particular man page has it, it is most often context data about some
larger system the documented item belongs to (for example, the name or
description of a group of related applications). The stylesheets now
check the following places, in the following order, to look for
content to add to the extra3 field.

1. parentinfo/title

2. parent's title

3. refmeta/refmiscinfo

4. [nothing found, so leave it empty]

* Reworked *info gathering. For each refentry found, the stylesheets now
cache its *info content, then check for any valid parent of it that might
have metainfo content and cache that, if found; they then then do all
further matches against those node-sets (rather than re-selecting the
original *info nodes each time they are needed).

* New option for breaking strings after forward slashes. This enables long
URLs and pathnames to be broken across lines. Controlled through
man.break.after.slash parameter.

* Output for servicemark and trademark are now (SM) and (TM). There is a
groff "\(tm" escape, but output from that is not acceptable.

* New option for controlling the length of the title part of the .TH title
line. Controlled through the man.th.title.max.length parameter.

* New option for specifying output encoding of each man page; controlled
with man.output.encoding (similar to the HTML chunker.output.encoding
parameter).

* New option for suppressing filename messages when generating output;
controlled with man.output.quietly (similar to the HTML chunk.quietly
parameter).

* The text of cross-references to first-level refentry (refsect1, top-level
refsection, refnamediv, and refsynopsisdiv) are now capitalized.

* Cross-references to refnamediv now use the localized NAME title instead of
using the first refname child. This makes the output inconsistent with
HTML and FO output, but for man-page output, it seems to make better sense
to have the NAME. (It may actually make better sense to do it that way in
HTML and FO output as well...)

* Added support for processing funcparams.

* Removed the space that was being output between funcdef and paramdef;
example: was: float rand (void); now: float rand(void)

* Turned off bold formatting for the type element when it occurs within a
funcdef or paramdef

* Corrected rendering of simplelist. Any <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.

* 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.

* 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.

o Extended full olink support to FO output.

o Add support for xrefstyle attribute in olinks.

o New parameters to support new olink features: insert.olink.page.number
, insert.olink.pdf.frag, olink.debug, olink.lang.fallback.sequence,
olink.properties, prefer.internal.olink. See the reference page for
each parameter for more information.

* Added index.on.type parameter for new type attribute introduced in DocBook
4.3 for indexterms and index. This allows you to create multiple indices
containing different categories of entries. For users of 4.2 and earlier,
you can use the new parameter index.on.role instead.

* Added new section.autolabel.max.depth parameter to turn off section
numbering below a certain depth. This permits you to number major section
levels and leave minor section levels unnumbered.

* Added footnote.sep.leader.properties attribute set to format the line
separating footnotes in printed output.

* Added parameter img.src.path as a prefix to HTML img src attributes. The
prefix is added to whatever path is already generated by the stylesheet
for each image file.

* Added new attribute-sets informalequation.properties,
informalexample.properties, informalfigure.properties, and
informaltable.properties, so each such element type can be formatted
individually if needed.

* Add component.label.includes.part.label parameter to add any part number
to chapter, appendix and other component labels when the label.from.part
parameter is nonzero. This permits you to distinguish multiple chapters
with the same chapter number in cross references and the TOC.

* Added chunk.separate.lots parameter for HTML output. This parameter lets
you generate separate chunk files for each LOT (list of tables, list of
figures, etc.).

* Added several table features:

o Added table.table.properties attribute set to add properties to the
fo:table element.

o Added placeholder templates named table.cell.properties and
table.cell.block.properties to enable adding properties to any
fo:table-cell or the cell's fo:block, respectively. These templates
are a start for implementing table styles.

* Added new attribute set component.title.properties for easy modifications
of component's title formatting in FO output.

* Added Saxon support for an encoding attribute on the textdata element.
Added new parameter textdata.default.encoding which specifies encoding
when encoding attribute on textdata is missing.

* Template label.this.section now controls whole section label, not only
sub-label which corresponds to particular label. Former behaviour was IMHO
bug as it was not usable.

* Formatting in titleabbrev for TOC and headers is preserved when there are
no hotlink elements in the title. Formerly the title showed only the text
of the title, no font changes or other markup.

* Added intial.page.number template to set the initial-page-number property
for page sequences in print output. Customizing this template lets you
change when page numbering restarts. This is similar to the
format.page.number template that lets you change how the page number
formatting changes in the output.

* Added force.page.count template to set the force-page-count property for
page sequences in print output. This is similar to the format.page.number
template.

* Sort language for localized index sorting in autoidx-ng.xsl is now taken
from document lang, not from system environment.

* Numbering and formatting of normal and ulink footnotes (if turned on) has
been unified. Now ulink footnotes are mixed in with any other footnotes.

* Added support for renderas attribute in section and sect1 et al. This
permits you to render a given section title as if it were a different
level.

* Added support for label attribute in footnote to manually supply the
footnote mark.

* Added support for DocBook 4.3 corpcredit element.
