RE: [docbook-apps] listitems and FO numbering

Title: KCC Stationery

Thanks Bob, works like a charm.

 

I 
wanted to share my resulting code with the list in case someone else would like 
to move list item numbers around.

 

<!-- Template 
customization for listitem so that a role can determine where the list item 
number is formatted -->

<xsl:template name="listitem_no_number">

<xsl:variable name="id"/>

<fo:list-item id="{$id}" 
xsl:use-attribute-sets="list.item.spacing">

<fo:list-item-label/>

<fo:list-item-body start-indent="body-start()">

<fo:block>

<xsl:apply-templates 
select="para[1]/preceding-sibling::*"/>

</fo:block>

</fo:list-item-body>

</fo:list-item>

<fo:list-item id="{$id}" 
xsl:use-attribute-sets="list.item.spacing">

<fo:list-item-label end-indent="label-end()">

<fo:block>

<xsl:apply-templates select="." 
mode="item-number"/>

</fo:block>

</fo:list-item-label>

<fo:list-item-body start-indent="body-start()">

<fo:block>

<xsl:apply-templates 
select="*/following-sibling::para[1]"/>

</fo:block>

</fo:list-item-body>

</fo:list-item>

</xsl:template>

<!-- Determine if first node in listitem is a figure or a 
danger/warning/caution, if so call another template -->

<xsl:template match="orderedlist/listitem">

<xsl:variable name="id">

<xsl:call-template name="object.id"/>

</xsl:variable>

<xsl:choose>

<xsl:when test="(para[1]/preceding-sibling::figure) or 
(para[1]/preceding-sibling::warning) or 
(para[1]/preceding-sibling::caution)">

<xsl:call-template name="listitem_no_number"/>

</xsl:when>

<xsl:otherwise>

<xsl:variable name="item.contents">

<fo:list-item-label end-indent="label-end()">

<fo:block>

<xsl:apply-templates select="." 
mode="item-number"/>

</fo:block>

</fo:list-item-label>

<fo:list-item-body start-indent="body-start()">

<fo:block>

<xsl:apply-templates/>

</fo:block>

</fo:list-item-body>

</xsl:variable>

<xsl:choose>

<xsl:when test="parent::*/@spacing = 
'compact'">

<fo:list-item id="{$id}" 
xsl:use-attribute-sets="compact.list.item.spacing">

<xsl:copy-of select="$item.contents"/>

</fo:list-item>

</xsl:when>

<xsl:otherwise>

<fo:list-item id="{$id}" 
xsl:use-attribute-sets="list.item.spacing">

<xsl:copy-of select="$item.contents"/>

</fo:list-item>

</xsl:otherwise>

</xsl:choose>

</xsl:otherwise>

</xsl:choose>

</xsl:template>

Re: [docbook-apps] listitems and FO numbering

Hi David,

The mode="item-number" template just returns a number, but 
it doesn't place it anywhere.   Trying to use float sounds hard, 
as you'll have to deal with alignment and such to match your other 
listitems.

 

I would suggest creating a customized copy of 
the template for the listitem itself:

 

<xsl:template 
match="orderedlist/listitem[@role='no_number']">

 

I would have it create two fo:list-items.  Put 
everything that precedes the first para in the first list-item's list-item-body, 
and give it an empty list-item-label.  Then put the first para and 
everything that follows it in the second list-item's list-body, and put the 
number in its list-item-label.  That would keep everything lined up the way 
you want.

Subject: [docbook-apps] listitems and FO 
  numbering

  

  
Hello everyone,

  
 

  
I'm looking to control how the listitems 
  are formatted in XSL-FO.  I have XML that is formatted like this for my 
  list:

  
 

  

  
<listitem 
  role="no_number">

  
<figure>

  
<title/>

  
<mediaobject><imageobject><imagedata fileref="A.tif"/></imageobject></mediaobject>

  
</figure>

  
<para>some text<para>

  
</listitem>

  
What I'm trying to do is 
  move the listitem number to the <para> tag instead of immediately 
  rendering after the <listitem> tag.

  
 

  
Below is my XSLT 
  modification to the <xsl:template match="orderedlist/listitem" mode="item-number"> template:

  
<xsl:choose>

  
<xsl:when 
  test="self::listitem/@role='no_number' and 
  parent::orderedlist">

  
<!-- This dosnt render the listitem 
  immediately after the element tag -->

  
<!--<xsl:apply-templates 
  select="child::para[1]" mode="item-number" />-->

  
<fo:inline 
  height="15pt" float="left" padding-right="2pt" >

  
<xsl:apply-templates 
  select="ancestor::listitem[parent::orderedlist][1]" mode="item-number"/>

  
</fo:inline>

  
<xsl:number 
  value="$item-number" format="{$type}"/>

  
</xsl:when>

  
<xsl:otherwise>

  
<xsl:if test="parent::orderedlist/@inheritnum='inherit' and 
  ancestor::listitem[parent::orderedlist]">

  
<xsl:apply-templates 
  select="ancestor::listitem[parent::orderedlist][1]" mode="item-number"/>

  
</xsl:if>

  
<xsl:number value="$item-number" format="{$type}"/>

  
</xsl:otherwise>

  
</xsl:choose>

  
 

  
Any suggestions as to how I can correct this 
  code to allow flexiblity in where a list item is rendered?

  
 

  
Thanks,
