Re: [docbook-apps] "Chapter" prefix with chapter title in docbook version 1.73.4 in PDF and HTML report

Hi,

I seem to get different results from you. I 
just downloaded fresh copies of both versions, tested, and I get the same 
results in both.  In both 1.67.0 and 1.74.3, I get no "Chapter" prefix in 
the table of contents, and I get the "Chapter" prefix at the start of the 
chapter.

 

Are you using a customization layer?  If so, 
can you test with the stock stylesheet that the customization layer 
imports?  Is it possible that the original files in the 1.67.0 distribution 
were edited?   If you want to check a fresh download of 1.67.0, old 
versions of the stylesheets are archived here:

 

http://docbook.xml-doc.org/release/xsl/

 

To answer your question about fixing this, I can 
tell you how to fix the title that appears at the start of the chapter.  
You need to change a couple of generated text values.  That process is 
documented here:

 

http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/CustomGentext.html

 

Specifically you need to specify:

 

<l:context name="title">

  <l:template name="chapter" text="%n. 
%t"/>

</l:context>

 

and 

 

<l:context 
name="title-numbered">

  <l:template name="chapter" text="%n. 
%t"/>

</l:context>

 

I'm not sure how to fix the "Chapter" prefix in the 
TOC because that is not standard behavior, so I don't know where it is coming 
from.

After upgrading I am getting "Chapter" 
  prefix with Chapter title in TOC as well as in  report  for both PDF 
  and HTML.

Chapter 1. About this 
  Document
 

  
with 1.67.0 version I was getting chapter title as shown below.
1. About this Document
 
I 
  want the title as it was showing in version 1.67.0 without "Chapter" prefix. 
  How can I change this title to look as older version 1.67.0? 
  
 
Thanks in 
advance.,
 
 Bela.
