Re: [docbook-apps] Table numbering with docbook 1.74.3 on PDF and HTML report.

One correction.  In the "pchap" selection, 
that should be select="ancestor::section[1]" to select only the closest ancestor 
section.

Hi,

  
The number labels are generated by applying 
  templates to the table element in mode="label.markup".  The default 
  template is in common/labels.xsl and works for table, figure, and 
  example:

  
 

  
<xsl:template match="figure|table|example" 
  mode="label.markup">
  <xsl:variable 
  name="pchap"
                
  select="ancestor::chapter
                        
  |ancestor::appendix
                        
  |ancestor::article[ancestor::book]"/>

  
 

  
  <xsl:variable 
  name="prefix">
    <xsl:if test="count($pchap) 
  &gt; 0">
      <xsl:apply-templates 
  select="$pchap" mode="label.markup"/>
    
  </xsl:if>
  </xsl:variable>

  
 

  
  <xsl:choose>
    
  <xsl:when test="@label">
      
  <xsl:value-of select="@label"/>
    
  </xsl:when>
    
  <xsl:otherwise>
      
  <xsl:choose>
        <xsl:when 
  test="$prefix != 
  ''">
            
  <xsl:apply-templates select="$pchap" 
  mode="label.markup"/>
            
  <xsl:apply-templates select="$pchap" 
  mode="intralabel.punctuation"/>
          
  <xsl:number format="1" from="chapter|appendix" 
  level="any"/>
        
  </xsl:when>
        
  <xsl:otherwise>
          
  <xsl:number format="1" from="book|article" 
  level="any"/>
        
  </xsl:otherwise>
      
  </xsl:choose>
    </xsl:otherwise>
  
  </xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>

  
You can copy this to your customization layer and 
  change it to match="table" to only affect tables.  Then a couple more 
  changes are needed.

  
 

  
The variable "pchap" is the ancestor 
  element whose number label becomes the prefix for the table number. 
  Change the variable pchap selection to "ancestor::section".  And then 
  change the first xsl:number so the "from" attribute is "section" instead of 
  "chapter|appendix", so that the table numbering restarts in each section. That 
  should do it.

  
 

  
You might need to make further improvements to 
  handle the case of a table contained in a chapter before the first section, 
  though.

Hi,

    
 

    
I am using docbook version 1.74.3. 

    
Currently I am getting table number on my HTML/PDF report as 
    (ChapterNumber).1, (ChapterNumber).2, (ChapterNumber).3 ... and 
    so on  

    
 

    
For 
    example: I have "Chapter 2" and under it I have section number 
    2.3.2. Following is how table numbers are listed curently on my HTML report 
    (table 2.1, table 2.3 and table 2.3).

    2

I want the table 
    numbers starting with the section number above it instead on starting with 
    the Chapter number above it.

    
For 
    example: I want the Table number as (Table 2.3.2.1, Table 2.3.2.2 
    and Table 2.3.2.3) shown below.

How can I achieve it?
