tables, admonitions, lists, etc. (but not para). I'm sure there were
good arguments at the time for such a design, but I have never liked
it. The simpara element (simple para) was created for those who don't

elements, only inline elements.
For my customers, I usually redefine para to have the same content model
as simpara to remove complexity of nested block elements:
# model para after simpara (no nested blocks, no info)
db.para =
element para
{
db.simpara.attlist,
db.all.inlines*
}
But some people prefer to use nested blocks, for example if you have let
say enumeration presented as list inside one logical piece of text, you
it is more precise to markup it as:
para
...
itemizedlist
...
/itemizedlist
...
/para
then as
para
...
/para
itemizedlist
...
/itemizedlist
para
...
/para
But personally I'm usually using the later variant too.

Hi folks, I will use this opportunity to invite everyone to attend XML Prague 2007 (http://www.xmlprague.cz/). You will see and hear excellent speakers talking about up-to-date topics (and yes, Norm will have DocBook session during the conference). As the conference is quite small (around 120-130 people) it has very cosy atmosphere. Moreover we made this conference for fun, not for money, so conference rate is ridiculously low. And if you have spare time you can spend few more days in Prague, which is very attractive touristic location (btw, conference itself is located in former monastery from 17th century). Jirka XML Prague June 16th 17th 2007 XML Prague is a regular conference on XML for developers, markup geeks, information managers, and students, focusing this year on Alternative Approaches to XML Processing, Open XML Documents and XML Pipelines. A full day of experts speaking has been extended with an additional day dedicated for participants to hold related BoF sessions and workshops. Details on how to register can be found here http://www.xmlprague.cz/register.html We can now confirm most of the speakers and sessions for XML Prague 2007. View now at http://www.xmlprague.cz/sessions.html Speakers confirmed so far (in alphabetical order): - Geert Bormans - Erik Bruchez - Uche Ogbuji - Lars Oppermann - Oleg Paraschenko - Bryan Rasmussen - Eric van der Vlist - Norman Walsh - Mohamed Zergaoui Conference Sessions * Processing XML With Fun , Eric van der Vlist * XProc: An XML Pipeline Language , Norman Walsh * Python and XML , Uche Ogbuji * Applications of XML pipelines to web applications with XPL , Erik Bruchez * DocBook , Norman Walsh * Leapfrogging microformats with XML, linking, and more , Uche Ogbuji * XML Processing by Streaming , Mohamed Zergaoui * Processing OpenDocument , Lars Oppermann * Generative XPath , Oleg Paraschenko * Beyond the simple pipeline: managing processes over time , Geert Bormans * A Generic Transformation Architecture , Bryan Rasmussen Hope to see you there.

I will be waiting in lobby of Novotel Paris Tour Eiffel hotel from 19:00 (local Paris time), May 17th, 2007. We can collect there and around 19:20 we can continue to chosen restaurant.

The nearest metro station form the novotel is Charles Michels on line 10. You have to take line 10 direction Gare d'Austerlitz, get off at Odéon then take line 4 direction Porte de Clignancourt and get off at Etienne Marcel. So if you can't join us in hotel lobby, you can join us later directly in pub. If you are interested in dinner please indicate so by posting comment at the page above by responding off-list to this email.

Re: [docbook-apps] Glossary sorting in Japanese
Akagi Kobayashi wrote: I'm told that I should be able to use the primary tag and sortas attribute, in combination with glossterm. What do you think? primary element is used for creating back-of-the-book index, not for glossaries. If an entry should be sorted in a different way than it is displayed, then we can use the sortas attribute. During index grouping and sorting, the text of the entry is ignored and the sortas attribute is then used instead. This can be useful in situations when an index entry contains special symbols that should sort differently; for example, based on their phonetic representation. The following example creates an index entry that will result in the Kanji $BBgOB(B displayed in the index, but this letter will be put in the place of word $B$d$^$H(B indexterm primary sortas=$B$d$^$H(B$BBgOB(B/primary /indexterm It seems that your Japanese characters haven't survived email transfer. At the moment the ja.xml's l:letters lang= is set to en. Should this be set to ja, as well as assigning the various Japanese syllabary characters? Yes. But please note that this table is used by Kosek indexing method. This method is suitable for sorting and grouping for latin based languages, when the sort order is defined by order of characters. My knowledge of CJKV languages is very limited. My understanding is that in Kanji sort order is based on radical, and Kosek indexing method doesn't support this. I do not know enough about sorting of Hiragana and Katakana written text, so I can't confirm that it is possible to create l:letters for those scripts. For Japanese you can be more successful using Kimber indexing method. It is little but complicated to setup, but has much better support for CJKV languages.

Re: [docbook-apps] Better-looking DocBook XSL-FO stylesheets?
Hendy Irawan wrote: I've been searching for better-looking XSL stylesheets (like those used by commercial publishers), but haven't found any. But each publisher has different style because each graphic designer has different opinion about good book design. You can hardly create something what will satisfy anyone. Stylesheets thus generate quite plain output which is easy to customize. I wonder if there is already work on producing [open-source] customized stylesheets from the official DocBook XSL so that people will have more fun writing their books. :-) I suppose that almost each project which is using DocBook and FO for generating printed output uses more or less customized stylesheets. -- -- Jirka Kosek e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://xmlguru.cz -- Professional XML consulting and training services DocBook customization, custom XSLT/XSL-FO document processing -- OASIS DocBook TC member, W3C Invited Expert, ISO/JTC1/SC34 member -- Want to speak at XML Prague 2007 = http://xmlprague.cz/cfp.html signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
Re: DOCBOOK-APPS: Re: use.id.as.filename may produce invalid file names
Gisbert Amm wrote: One idea would be a pre-process which would extract all relevant IDs and build a mapping of the IDs and the filenames (to avoid clashes among the latter, at least). The chunker would get the filenames from this mapping. This works in stylesheets if you use custom chunking mechanism, which uses maketoc.xsl. See XSL stylesheets documentation on how to use this feature. Jirka -- - Jirka Kosek e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.kosek.cz

As far as I understand, maketoc.xsl uses the same template to process the filenames as chunk-common.xsl (xsl:template match=* mode=recursive-chunk-filename), so it would just get the IDs as they are and not *really* be the intended preprocessing. But I may get it wrong. You can use ?dbhtml filename=yourfilename.html? PI in ToC file to manually assign filenames to each chunk. This works as mapping from IDs to filenames which you were talking about in one of previous post. Jirka -- - Jirka Kosek e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.kosek.cz
