Re: [xsl] handling tags and PIs within a macro

is it possible to state in the template that when
there is no <fid> element, the corresponding
formalpara has no ID?

Best regards,
Nancy

I'm pretty sure that id in docbook is of type ID so
it is not valid to
have a / in the id string.


<formalpara id="">
or for the id to be empty.

Note these are docbook language issues nothing to do
with XSLT.




in which FOP spots a problem for some reason:
FOP never saw the file you posted (which was
docbook) it needs to see an
XSL-FO file (that will start off <fo:root>... and
have elements like
<fo:block, The stylesheet generates an FO file from
the docbook file and
FOP converts the FO file to pdf.

I have't looked at how the docbook stylesheets
expand %t and friends but
it is quite likely that they need to see the full
docbook markup with
all the id's in place.

That is you need to expand your private docbook
extensions before
calling the docbook styleheet, so you need three
stages

1) your own stylesheet that is an "identity
transform" with additional
   templates that expands j_enty out to a
<formalpara and any other
   similar local elements that you need to remove

The output from that stylesheet should then be a
valid docbook file with
no local additions which you can then process using
teh docbook
stylesheets, so

2) process with the docbook stylesheet to get an FO
file

3) process with FOP to get PDF.
