DOCBOOK-APPS: Admon graphics in tables with multiple paras
Hi, I have been investigating my problems with Admon Graphics a bit further.

DOCBOOK-APPS: Stylesheet languages and giving you fine control overwhere things go
Hi, One of the things I think I need to be able to do in stylesheets is to place objects at arbitrary places on a page, and it seems that DSSSL and XSL(T) don't give me that level of control. For example, I might want to place the word Preliminary diagonally across the back of every page in outline form, with the primary text appearing in front of it. In some cases, I also want to be able to take a block of text and center it, vertically, on a page. I don't seem to be able to do that with DSSSL. Don't know about XSL(T). In other cases, I want to set up the header and footer of each page with content that I want o put in specific places and want to ensure that they align properly. For example, I want to have text on one side of the header aligning with the bottom of a graphic on the other side. Indeed, the decision in DSSSL to divide the header up into three regions seems to have been a mistake. I would rather that it be one area that I can decide how to format. I would also like to be able to insert text at any angle I want to. What stylesheet languages give me these?

Hi, There is a bug in the LOT processing of DSSSL 1.70.

DOCBOOK-APPS: Admonition Graphics again, etc ...
Hi, These comments apply to OpenJade 1.3, DocBook SGML and DSSSL. I have been playing around with admonition graphics again a bit, and the best I can achieve is the following: +-+ | gra | +-+ The admon starts here and goes for as many lines as I have defined and the admon para lines up with standard para's in the rest of the document, and there is space between the graphic and the admon para and the graphic sits in the margin ... However, I cannot get it so that the top of the graphic aligns with the top of the para, and looking at things like (make table ...) and that whole stuff, there does not seem to be anything that handles alignment in the vertical direction, while horizontal alignment is well catered for. Does this seem reasonable?

Hi,
Here is a modification to the db2pdf script that comes with RedHat 7.0 ...

This modification allows you to have a stylesheet with the same name as the

is called fred.sgml, the script looks for fred.dsl), but if that cannot be
found, the script looks for stylesheet.dsl in the same directory as the
source, otherwise it falls back to the default one.

However, if I use different left and right margins, to allow for the binding that will occur, I do not seem to get these alternating on recto and verso pages.

DOCBOOK-APPS: Title page recto and verso page problems
Hi, I have finally discovered an element in JadeTeX.dtx that allows me to switch on a blank page at the end of a Simple Page Sequence if it does not start on a right hand (recto) page ... However, the title pages are both built with a (make simple-page-sequence ...), which causes a blank page after each. This is clearly not good.

DOCBOOK-APPS: Headers with an underbar and make rule and JadeTeXinsertRule
Hi, I have been doing a lot of investigation on why I get an unsightly amount of space between my header and the rule underneath it that I have inserted in my DSSSL hacks ... I am convinced more than ever it is the insertRule macro in JadeTeX that is causing the problem, and I have been forced to delve into TeX far more than I wanted to. While I am currently investigating this still, it seems that the problem may be related to the fact that 'make rule' can be added any where in a sequence or paragraph or wherever, and is perhaps intended to be inserted on the current line between two pieces of text. In which case, it should have the same \baselineskip as the text on the line. It also seems to be being inserted in an \hbox, which is perhaps where it is inheriting its \baselineskip, and thus the white space I don't want when I want to underline a whole header line. Is it possible in TeX to figure out if you are in verticle mode (at the end of a paragraph)? If so, then perhaps a different macro can be used. Just some rambling at the moment, as I research this some more.

As Norm seems to be in an answering mood, and as I never got any replies the first time 'round, I thought I'd repost :-) Hmmm, you have to sacrifice a goat(herd) to the SGML gods first :-) I'm using DocBook 4.1 (SGML) / DSSSL 1.62 / OpenJade 1.3 / JadeTex 3.3. I'm creating a book, and have %two-side% set to #t to generate two sided pages. Welcome to the club. Do you get your headers and footers alternating? What I'd like to have in print versions is: - title page (page 1) - copyright page (page 2) - table of contents (page 3) - start of first part (page 5 or some other odd page) - start of first chapter (page 7 or some other odd page) You too, eh ... However, when I process with Jade/OpenJade and JadeTex, I get - title page (page 1) - blank page - copyright page (page 3) - blank page - table of contents (page 5) - start of first part (page 7 or some other odd page) - start of first chapter (page 9 or some other odd page) When I change \cleardoublepage to \clearpage in jadetex.dtx, I get: - title page (page 1) - copyright page (page 2) - table of contents (page 3) - start of first part (page 4 or next available page) - start of first chapter (page 5 or next available page) It appears that something in my toolchain is causing the title page and copyright page to be treated as separate page sequences. So, changes that affect simple page sequences (like \cleardoublepage) affect them individually. As I understand the DSSSL stylesheets, in dbprint/dbttlpg.dsl, the recto page of the title page is the title page, and the verso page is what I'm referring to as the copyright page. Is my understanding correct? I get the book title on the recto title page, and the copyright on the verso title page, and I have not really hacked dbttlpg.dsl at all. If my understanding is correct, is there something in the stylesheets that is causing the extra blank pages when %two-side% is turned on? Is there something that's causing the copyright page to be it's own simple page sequence? And yes, I have tried installing JadeTex 3.5. It does NOT clear up this problem. Where did you get JadeTex 3.5?
