These are the release notes for the DocBook XSL Stylesheets.
This file documents (mostly) changes to the public APIs. What,
exactly, counts as a public API is still somewhat in question, but it
includes at least the global parameters.
Release 1.50.0
This release introduces a new version numbering scheme. Version
numbers are now three part: major.middle.minor. Changes to the middle
version number indicate a change in the public API. Changes in only the
minor number indicate simply a new release.
The generate.*.toc
and generate.*.lot
parameters have been replaced by a single structured parameter,
generate.toc.
It's likely that the HTML and FO stylesheets do not handle ToC generation
in exactly the same way, but they should.
Added strip-attributes.xsl to the profiling
stylesheets. This allows one to strip off, for example, profiling attributes
after a document has been profiled.
Improved numeration of footnotes and table footnotes. Made table footnotes
render properly
in FOs.
Added a formal.title.placement parameter, allowing
users to select placement of formal object titles either above or below the
object.
Improved control over delimiters for TeX equations.
Support classsynopsis and friends in FOs.
Changed HTML stylesheets to use em instead of
i for emphasis.
Added chunk.quietly parameter.
Improved profiling code to support the full range of profiling attributes
and to support one-pass profiling (if your XSLT processor understands the
EXSLT node-set
function.
