Customization of chapter titles and generated pdf bookmarks
Hello,

 

I am working on a customization concerning chapter
titles in print output because the standard DocBook titles are not indented if
they need a second line. E.g.:

 

2.1.3     Title
title title title title title 

title title title title title title title title 

 

I found a posting in the mailing list archive (http://sourceware.org/ml/docbook/2004-02/msg00076.html)
and worked with the explanations in the DocBook Guide (http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/TitleFontSizes.html#ChapterTitles).
I modified the spec file, transformed it to the title page customization and I added
a template named “chapappendix.title” to the customization which main
idea is the same like the solution in the DocBook Guide. The only difference is
that I added a FO table structure. I tried several “table-width” settings
to find a solution that holds title and label together (means that the space
between title and label is always the same) and give me the advantage of using
tables to have indented second title lines. The best solution for our layout (Perhaps
it helps someone else.) is to set ‘width="auto"’ in the
first table cell (which contains the label) and ‘width="85%"’
in the second (containing the title). Regarding the indent problem my solution
works well, but we use the Antenna House's XSL Formatter to transform FO files
into PDFs and the interactive bookmarks (on the left-hand side in Acrobat Reader)
won’t be generated anymore. Before I used the new template the FO files
consisted attributes with the antennahouse namespace “axf”. E.g.:

 

xmlns:axf="http://www.antennahouse.com/names/XSL/Extensions"
keep-with-next.within-column="always" axf:outline-level="2"
axf:outline-expand="false" axf:outline-title="1 first title"

 

Does anyone know what I have to add to my template,
that the interactive bookmarks will be generated? I tried to use a variable and
a fixed FO block inside my customization template but it didn’t work:

 

<xsl:variable
name="otitle">

            <xsl:apply-templates
select="$node" mode="title.markup"/>

</xsl:variable>

 

<fo:block
xmlns:axf="http://www.antennahouse.com/names/XSL/Extensions"
keep-with-next.within-column="always" axf:outline-level="2"
axf:outline-expand="false" axf:outline-title="$otitle">

.

.

.

</fo:block>

 

Here the entire template I added:

 

<xsl:template
name="chapappendix.title">

 <fo:block>

  <fo:block>

   <fo:block
keep-together.within-column="always"
font-family="sans-serif,Arial Unicode MS,Symbol,ZapfDingbats"
margin-left="0pt">

    <fo:block
space-before.minimum="1.8em" space-before.optimum="2.4em"
space-before.maximum="3.0em" space-after.minimum="0.6em"
space-after.optimum="0.8em" space-after.maximum="1.0em"
font-family="sans-serif" font-weight="bold"
keep-with-next.within-column="always" text-align="left"
start-indent="0pt">      

  

      <fo:block
text-align="left">

        <fo:table
table-layout="auto" width="100%">

          

          <fo:table-body>

            <fo:table-row>

            

             <fo:table-cell
width="auto" background-color="lightblue"
text-align="left"> 

               <fo:block
text-align="left">

      <xsl:apply-templates select="$node"
mode="label.markup"/>

                        &#160;&#160;&#160;

    </fo:block>

             </fo:table-cell>

              

             <fo:table-cell
width="85%" background-color="lightgreen"
text-align="left">

  <fo:block text-align="left">                                                      

                  <xsl:apply-templates
select="$node" mode="title.markup"/>

  </fo:block>

</fo:table-cell>

 

           </fo:table-row>

         </fo:table-body>

        

       </fo:table>

      </fo:block>

     </fo:block>

   </fo:block>

  </fo:block>

 </fo:block>  

</xsl:template> 

 

 

I would be pleased to receive any help concerning
that problem.

Jan
