This is technical reference documentation for the DocBook XSL Stylesheets; it documents (some of) the parameters, templates, and other elements of the stylesheets. This is not intended to be user documentation. It is provided for developers writing customization layers for the stylesheets, and for anyone who's interested in how it works. Although I am trying to be thorough, this documentation is known to be incomplete. Don't forget to read the source, too :-)

Construct a stylesheet for the templates provided The t:templates element is the root of a set of templates. This template creates an appropriate xsl:stylesheet for the templates. If the t:templates element has a base-stylesheet attribute, an xsl:import statement is constructed for it. 1.0 This stylesheet was created by template/titlepage.xsl; do not edit it by hand. Copy xsl: elements straight through This template simply copies the xsl: elements straight through into the result tree. Create the templates necessary to construct a title page The t:titlepage element creates a set of templates for processing the titlepage for an element. The root of this template set is the template named wrapper.titlepage. That is the template that should be called to generate the title page. The t:titlepage element has three attributes: element The name of the source document element for which these templates apply. In other words, to make a title page for the article element, set the element attribute to article. This attribute is required. wrapper The entire title page can be wrapped with an element. This attribute identifies that element. class If the class attribute is set, a class attribute with this value will be added to the wrapper element that surrounds the entire title page. Any other attributes are copied through literally to the wrapper element. The content of a t:titlepage is one or more t:titlepage-content, t:titlepage-separator, and t:titlepage-before elements. Each of these elements may be provided for the recto and verso sides of the title page. .titlepage .titlepage.before.recto .titlepage.recto .titlepage.before.verso .titlepage.verso .titlepage.separator * .titlepage.recto.mode if an element isn't found in this mode, try the generic titlepage.mode . titlepage.mode * .titlepage.verso.mode if an element isn't found in this mode, try the generic titlepage.mode . titlepage.mode .titlepage. .auto.mode .titlepage. .style . .titlepage. .mode Copy t:titlepage attributes This template copies all of the other attributes from a t:titlepage element onto the specified wrapper. Create templates for the content of one side of a title page The title page content, that is, the elements from the source document that are rendered on the title page, can be controlled independently for the recto and verso sides of the title page. The t:titlepage-content element has two attributes: side Identifies the side of the page to which this title page content applies. The side attribute is required and must be set to either recto or verso. In addition, you must specify exactly one t:titlepage-content for each side within each t:titlepage. order Indicates how the order of the elements presented on the title page is determined. If the order is document, the elements are presented in document order. Otherwise (if the order is stylesheet), the elements are presented in the order that they appear in the template (and consequently in the stylesheet). The content of a t:titlepage-content element is a list of element names. These names should be unqualified. They identify the elements in the source document that should appear on the title page. Each element may have a single attribute: predicate. The value of this attribute is used as a predicate for the expression that matches the element on which it occurs. In other words, to put only the first three authors on the recto-side of a title page, you could specify: ]]> Usually, the elements so named are empty. But it is possible to make one level of selection within them. Suppose that you want to process authorgroup elements on the title page, but you want to select only proper authors, editors, or corporate authors, not collaborators or other credited authors. In that case, you can put a t:or group inside the authorgroup element: ]]> This will have the effect of automatically generating a template for processing authorgroups in the title page mode, selecting only the specified children. If you need more complex processing, you'll have to construct the templates by hand. Illegal value specified for @side on t:titlepage-content: The @side attribute is required on t:titlepage-content. .titlepage. .auto.mode .titlepage. Create templates for the separator The title page is separated from the content which follows it by the markup specified in the t:titlepage-separator element. .titlepage.separator Create templates for what precedes a title page Each side of the title page is preceded by the markup specified in the t:titlepage-before element for that side. .titlepage.before. Copy elements This template simply copies the elements that it applies to straight through into the result tree. Copy attributes This template simply copies the attributes that it applies to straight through into the result tree. Create rules to process titlepage elements in document order This template is called to process all of the children of the t:titlepage-content element. It creates the hairy select expression necessary to process each of those elements in the title page. Note that this template automatically handles the case where some DocBook elements, like title and subtitle, can occur both inside the *info elements where metadata is usually stored and outside. It also automatically calculates the name for the *info container and handles elements that have historically had containers with different names. info artheader docinfo recto .titlepage. .auto.mode | / | / | Create rules to process titlepage elements in stylesheet order This template is called to process all of the children of the t:titlepage-content element. It creates the set of xsl:apply-templates elements necessary process each of those elements in the title page. Note that this template automatically handles the case where some DocBook elements, like title and subtitle, can occur both inside the *info elements where metadata is usually stored and outside. It also automatically calculates the name for the *info container and handles elements that have historically had containers with different names. info artheader docinfo recto .titlepage. .auto.mode .titlepage. .style Force can only be used with named-templates. / / / / / / Create templates for special rules This template is called to process all of the descendants of the t:titlepage-content element that require special processing. At present, that's just t:or elements. recto .titlepage. .auto.mode Create template for individual special rules This template is called to process the children of special template elements. recto .titlepage. .auto.mode Process the t:or special rule This template processes t:or. recto .titlepage. .auto.mode Process the t:or special rule in titlepage.subrules mode The titlepage.subrules mode doesn't apply to t:or, so just reprocess this node in the normal mode. Construct the "or-list" used in the select attribute for special rules. Walk through each of the children of t:or, producing the text of the select attribute. |
