Re: [docbook-apps] Creating customized "itemizedlist" ...

Hello Dick,

Thank you for your reply. I will try it out this way.

I am adding customized elements because, besides documentation, these
need to be further processed in our applications.

Regards,

Anagha

Anagha,

  
 

  
The code you included below has a few
problems:

  
 

  
- I wouldn't combine the itemizedlist and
parlist templates;

  
  Rather, I'd copy the itemizedlist
template and turn it into

  
  a separate parlist template.

  
- Then, you can replace matches for
listitem with matches

  
  for paritem and not worry about adding
matches inside that

  
  template.

  
- You need to copy and modify the template
that matches

  
  itemizedlist/listitem to match
parlist/paritem.

  
 

  
One thought: If you're doing this to learn
more about the docbook

  
stylesheets and XSL, then this is a good exercise.  But if your

  
purpose is simply to get a parameter list, you may want to consider

  
a different approach that is MUCH easier.

  
 

  
Why not just use the existing <parameter> element inside
the list,

  
like this:

  
 

  
<itemizedlist>

  
  <listitem>

  
    <para><parameter>parameter
1</parameter></para>

  
  </listitem>

  
   more listitems ...

  
</itemizedlist>

  
 

  
That will render without any customization
of DocBook or the

  
stylesheets.  Then, if you want parameters to look different,

  
you can customize the <parameter> element in your xsl, which

  
is much easier than adding a new list element.

    Subject: [docbook-apps] Creating customized "itemizedlist"
...

    

    

    Hello Folks,

    

I am trying to add a parameter list, which will have a list of
parameters. 

I added new element parlist by duplicating the existing element
"itemizedlist" and I added, as it's member, an element "paritem" (duplicated
the existing element "listitem"). I have created a customized
the XSL in order to see these newly-added elements in the PDF. However,
the "paritem" elements do no appear in the PDF, they appear as XML
fragments.

    

Do I need some more customizations in the XSL? Please advise. 

Thank you, 

Anagha
