docbook-apps

I'm using the 1.79.1 html stylesheets with the following example document I
get an "xml:id" attribute on the resulting html table.

That attribute causes some problems for me further down the processing
line. This didn't occur with the 1.78.1 stylesheets. I'm guessing that this
is a bug?

Here's the example:

<chapter xnlns="http://docbook.org/ns/docbook" version="5.0" xml:id="test">
<info></info>
<para>

My Table

column 1	column 2

</para>
</chapter>

I get xml:id on the resulting html table, using this command line:

xsltproc/path/to/docbook/xsl-1.79.1/html/docbook.xsl test.xml




When I change to the 1.78.1 stylesheets:

xsltproc /path/to/docbook/xsl-1.78.1/html/docbook.xsl test.xml

The output is okay:



Is there something I can do outside of postprocessing the html to omit that
attribute?

thanks,

Hi Tim,
Yes, this is a bug. In DocBook 5, HTML-coded tables were allowed to
have attributes with HTML attribute names such as @onmouseover, and they
were expected to be passed through to the HTML table output. To support
such attributes, version 1.79.1 added a template that starts with this:


<xsl:template mode="htmlTableAtt"
match="@abbr
| @align
| @axis
...

which copies those attributes through. Unfortunately, it mistakenly
includes xml:id, which should not be there, because the id is output
elsewhere.

So the workaround for you is to add this to your customization layer:

<xsl:template mode="htmlTableAtt" select="xml:id" />

hi Bob, thanks!
I must still be doing something wrong since I keep getting that attribute.
Here is my test.xsl customization layer:


<xsl:stylesheet
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
version="1.0">

<xsl:import href="/path/to/xsl-1.79.1/html/docbook.xsl"/>
<xsl:template mode="htmlTableAtt" select="xml:id" />

</xsl:stylesheet>

any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?
thanks,
--Tim

Haven't tested it, but I guess, in the select attribute you are missing the
"@" symbol:

<xsl:template mode="htmlTableAtt" select="@xml:id" />

Otherwise you would select the _element_ id in the XML namespace (which is
very likely it doesn't exist).

Good luck!

Thanks Thomas,
That make sense--I wondered about that too, but even with that change, I
still get the xml:id attribute.

With that correction, it works for me. Not sure why it isn't for you.

Hi Bob, Thomas,
I'm bewildered. In case I've got something wrong in my source or
stylesheet, here is what I'm doing:
The command: *xsltproc test.xsl test.xml*
The result has **

test.xml:
*<chapter xnlns="http://docbook.org/ns/docbook
<http://docbook.org/ns/docbook>" version="5.0" xml:id="test">*
*<info></info>*
* <para>*
* *
* *
* *
*

My Table

column 1	column 2

*
* </para>*
*</chapter>*

test.xsl:
**
*<xsl:stylesheet*
* xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform
<http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform>"*
* version="1.0">*

* <xsl:import href="/path/to/xsl-1.79.1/html/docbook.xsl"/>*
* <xsl:template mode="htmlTableAtt" select="@xml:id"/>*

*</xsl:stylesheet>*

If that works for you then I'm not sure what to do. Maybe try a different
xsl processor?
thanks,
--Tim

Hi,
I think what is happening here is that you have DocBook 5 document
written in the DocBook namespace but are using the non-namespaced
version of the stylesheet that is better matched to DocBook 4. When
that happens, the stylesheet detects the namespace, and then converts
the document to DocBook 4 before applying formatting templates. Part of
that conversion is to change each instance of xml:id in the document to
id, so that your new template does not match.

The solution is to either switch to the namespaced version of the
stylesheets (recommended for Docbook 5), or change the customized
template to match="@id".

I just noticed that I had a typo in the source xml (misspelled xmlns).

I fixed that typo, downloaded docbook-xsl-ns-1.79.1 from sourceforge, and
changed the xsl to point to the newly unzipped stylesheets. Confident that
the typo was the issue, I converted again:

<xsl:import
href="/u/tiarno/downloads/docbook-xsl-ns-1.79.1/html/docbook.xsl"/>
<xsl:template mode="htmlTableAtt" select="@xml:id"/>

I still get
I also tried the non namespaced stylesheet and I get
Note: namesp. cut : stripped namespace before processing My
Chapter

The table still contains the id, but without the xml namespace (which I
think is what would be expected).

So, I'm sorry to be a pest, but I don't see how this is happening.
Do you have a test case I can run?

Try this:

<xsl:template mode="htmlTableAtt" select="@xml:id">
<xsl:message>got here</xsl:message>
</xsl:template>

If you don't see the message when it runs, then the custom template
isn't being used for some reason.

If it still does not work, try changing select to match:

<xsl:template mode="htmlTableAtt" match="@xml:id">

73, Mario

Oops, yes, that should have been a match attribute.

Yes Mario, Thanks! that was my problem and now everything is working again.

Two notes for anyone interested in this problem:
(1)
xsltproc was silent and continued to process the file so beware!
saxon655 complained and exited with the nice error message:
xsl:template must have a a name or match attribute (or both)

(2)
That fix got rid of the xml:id attributes but when you're producing epub3,
you still need to filter out the other attributes that get copied into the
html (rules, frame, and so on).

thanks again,
