chapter nr with color at outside edge of odd pages

  • 1.  chapter nr with color at outside edge of odd pages

    Posted 10-15-2008 13:02
    Hi,

    (Thank you very much, Camille!)

    I would like to put the CHAPTER NUMBER at the outside edge of the ODD Page. Maybe different number has different (background) color.

    This means:

    On all of the “ODD” pages in CHAPTER ONE: you can see one very small image at the right (outside) edge of the page. The number “1” is in the image because it is in chapter one. Maybe the image has BLUE background color. The image has a distance of “3in” to the very top of the page.

    On the “ODD” page in CHAPTER TWO it is the similar: the very small image should be at the right (outside) edge of the page. But the Distance from the image to the very top of the page is “4in”. Now the number “2” is in the image because it is chapter 2. Image color: GREEN.

    I have all of the images with the correct chapter numbers and the right color. How to put the images in the right position?

    Do I need my own images? Or the “Docbook-XSL” code can produce them?

    Is it possible to get it or get something similar?

    I tried but failed. (My code is at the end of the mail.) Thank you very much for any help.

    Lily


    The following code does not produce the layout I want because there is a big empty space vertically between “paragraph two” and the small image.


    In “myStylesheet.xsl”:
    <xsl:attribute-set name="margin.note.properties">
    <xsl:attribute name="margin-left">6in</xsl:attribute>
    <xsl:attribute name="margin-top">2.5in</xsl:attribute>
    </xsl:attribute-set>

    In “myDocBook.xml”:

    <book version="5.0" xml:lang="de" xmlns="http://docbook.org/ns/docbook"
    xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude">


    <chapter>

    <para>paragraph one</para>
    <para>paragraph two</para>
    <sidebar>


    <para>
    <inlinemediaobject>
    <imageobject>
    <imagedata fileref="../images/blue_number_1.png"></imagedata>
    </imageobject>
    </inlinemediaobject>
    </para>
    </sidebar>
    <para>paragraph three</para>
    </chapter>

    </para>
    </sidebar>
    <para>paragraph three</para>
    <para>paragraph four</para>
    </chapter>

    </book>
