Hi Dave,
 
 
 
I have very recently started to build some basic documents using Saxon-HE 12.9 
with version 1.79.1 of the stylesheets/my customisation layer through maven - I 
have not tried with olink yet – but if I move to version 2.0 of the 
stylesheets,  the olink database disappears anyway.  Moreover, there are things 
in Version 2.0 of XSLT that I cannot do in version 1.0. One such issue is 
xrefs; so for my many requirements documents, I intend to have a common 
database of requirements, still use xrefs in  documents but remove relevant 
Xincludes (to reduce repetition across documents), and then use multi-document 
ID resolution during the build, to resolve references and generate text. 
 
 
 
I am sure version 2.0 will bring other improvements; I already have some 
promising results but there are some obvious gaps in the GitHub version, that I 
think may be filled by the CDN version. Hence my question.
 
 
 
Regards
 
 
 
Nick

You should be able to get the DocBook XSLT 1.0 stylesheets to work with recent 
versions of Saxon as long as you don't need to generate an olink database. 
Creating that olink.db file uses an old Saxon 6.5 extension (saxon:output) to 
do what we now use xsl:result-document for. If you're using Saxon PE/EE, you 
might even be able to generate the olink database: 
https://www.saxonica.com/html/documentation12/extensions/instructions/output.html
 
<https://www.saxonica.com/html/documentation12/extensions/instructions/output.html>

If you rely on the Saxon 6.5 extensions that are bundled with DocBook XSLT 1.0 
stylesheets, you might have some work to do.

Regards,

David

Subject: Docbook  XSLT 2.0

 
Hi,
 
 
 
I need to move away from 1.0 of XSLT but still need to stick with PDF and 
xslTNG is not a viable option for me atm (mainly issues with internal process 
of acquiring a CSS formatter but also the majority of my front matter is in FO 
and will  need to be refactored). Therefore, as an interim solution,  I am 
working on a customisation layer of DocBook XSLT 2.0 for FO output and want to 
align with the latest stable base.
 
 
 
I have been reviewing the DocBook XSLT 2.0 stylesheets and noticed something I 
would like to clarify. The latest tagged release on GitHub - 
docbook/xslt20-stylesheets 2.6.0 - dates from 2020. However, the CDN at 
https://cdn.docbook.org/release/xsl20/current/xslt/base/fo/ 
<https://cdn.docbook.org/release/xsl20/current/xslt/base/fo/> appears to 
contain newer content (e.g. a more complete autotoc.xsl module dated 2023).
 
 
 
Can anyone (Norm I guess) confirm whether the CDN "current" tree represents an 
official but untagged update beyond 2.6.0 or an intermediate build not yet 
formally released. Either way, is there  a packaged .zip/.tar.gz available?
 
 
 
Thanks in advance,
 

 
Nick
