Re: [docbook-apps] how to do modular glossaries with 5.0 ?
Hi,
I testet out the suggested XSL for approach #3 with the 1.75 stylesheets and found that some changes are required to produce output identical to otherterm with xlink:href. Below is the revised version of the xsl handling xlink:href.
The problem was that xpointer.idref template returns an empty string, since no xpointer is used here. The fix is to omit the assignment of idref variable and use xhref directly . You also need to add xref.properties if you want identical styling.
<xsl:when test="$xhref">
<xsl:variable name="xtargets" select="key('id',$xhref)"/>
<xsl:variable name="xtarget" select="$xtargets[1]"/>
<xsl:call-template name="check.id.unique">
<xsl:with-param name="linkend" select="$xhref"/>
</xsl:call-template>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="count($xtarget) = 0">
<xsl:message>
<xsl:text>XLink to nonexistent id: </xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="$xhref"/>
</xsl:message>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<fo:basic-link internal-destination="{$xhref}" xsl:use-attribute-sets="xref.properties">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="string-length(.) != 0">
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:apply-templates select="$xtarget" mode="xref-to"/>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</fo:basic-link>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:when>
Also, the gentext templates adds the trailing period mark, so that should be omitted from the last xsl:choose block
Best regards,
