Package: dblatex Version: 0.3.4-2 I ran into this problem while using dblatex (and docbook-xsl/fop, see bug #686908) to generate a PDF for the translated version of the Free Culture book by Lawrence Lessig. See <URL: https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/free-culture-lessig/> for the complete source of that project.
The indexterm sorting order is wrong for the nb language choice when using dblatex. See the included docbook file for an example demonstrating the sorting, and the correct sorting order. This sorting order make dblatex unfit for typesetting a Norwegian book with an index. :( I reported a related bug #685721 earlier (incorrect heading in index), but this is about the index ordering, not the heading. Using this docbook file demonstrate the problem: <!DOCTYPE book PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook V4.5//EN" "http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.5/docbookx.dtd";> <!-- The nb indexterm sorting order should be "Alle inne", "Bare tull", "Ærlig talt", "Øvrigheta", "Åndalsnes" under separete letter "A", "B", "Æ", "Ø" and "Å". But dblatex sort it Symbols Ærlig talt Øvrigheten Åndalsnes A Alle inne B Bare tull This sorting order is wrong. Note also how it uses 'Symbols' instead of 'Symboler', which would be the correct Norwegian translation for that heading. --> <book lang="nb"> <bookinfo> <title>Example demonstrating wrong nb indexterm sorting</title> </bookinfo> <preface> <title>test</title> <indexterm><primary>Alle inne</primary></indexterm> <para>test</para> <indexterm><primary>Ærlig talt</primary></indexterm> <indexterm><primary>Øvrigheten</primary></indexterm> <indexterm><primary>Åndalsnes</primary></indexterm> <para>text is good</para> <indexterm><primary>Bare tull</primary></indexterm> <para>text is great</para> </preface> <index></index> </book> Is there some way to get the correct index sorting order using dblatex? -- Happy hacking Petter Reinholdtsen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
