RE: [docbook-apps] Re: Keep together Option: DocBook PDF output

For #1 see http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/PrintHeaders.html 

 

For #2, somone who knows should answer regarding how the 
new version of FOP does with keeps these days, but be sure you have the 
right fop.exetensions param set for the version of fop you're 
using:

http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/doc/fo/fop.extensions.html

http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/doc/fo/fop1.extensions.html

 

For 
#3, we avoid that problem by setting http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/doc/fo/alignment.html to "start" 
:-) 

<xsl:param 
name="alignment">start</xsl:param>

You 
could also put the cases where that's  problem in a verbatim environment 
like <programlisting>.

 

For 
#4, you can easily change "Procedure" to "Step Action" using the gentext 
settings: http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/CustomGentext.html 

For 
the rules, you'll probably have to customize a template. I'd have to dig around 
to figure out which one. Perhaps someone out there knows off the top of their 
head and can answer that part.

  together Option: DocBook PDF output 

  

Hi All,

I am new to XML and XSL:FO. But with the help of 
  some wonderful souls, I have been able to put together a customization layer. 
  Everyday I have been learning new things. But I need help with the following 
  issues that I am facing:

1. I need to enter the following in the header 
  and footer parts of the document.

Header

<Client Logo> 
                 
      <Application Name>      
          <Vendor 
  Logo>
________________________________________________________

Footer

__________________________________________________________
<Chapter 
  Name>               
        Confidential         
                    
     Page X of Y

How do I do this in the customization 
  layer?

2. I am having an issue keep figure titles and figures together. 
  Similarly Note title and the note together on the same page. I use FOP and I 
  read that the Keep-together.within-column does not work. But I believe that 
  there is a workaround.

3. The element Code justifies the sentence that I am typing 
  out and it appears as:

The 
        blue         
     moonand the          
  pink         sky
Is there a way to NOT justify the Code element?

4. I want 
  to provide a style to the Action element. I am basically applying it to two 
  words Step Action. In my document, this 
  appears just before the start of a series of steps. For 
  example:
________________________________________________________
Step 
  Action
_______________________________________________________

1. 
  Click Save.
2. Click Close.

Basically, this is the exact 
  same effect that Section Rule Lines (in Bob Stayton's DocBook XSL: The 
  Complete Guide). 

I would hugely appreciate if members of this 
  community can help me with these issues or provide pointers.

Thanking 
  you all,
Dishaa
