[docbook-apps] VirtualBox DocBook 5.0 VM
I recently built an Oracle VirtualBox Virtual Machine (VM) with a working DB 5.0 (with name spaces) build system for a presentation I made at our local annual Computer Tech last week, and I put it in a public place for my attendees to use if they were interested. The VM is Ubuntu 10.04 LTS 32-bit and uses a GNU Makefile, Perl programs and modules, xsltproc, and Apache fop 1.0 for the tool chain. It has a program to generate a new DB project directory in which it copies a Makefile and an example set of files to generate html and pdf. The user can then edit the example files as he or she wishes and add new features as they learn more about DB. It is a turn-key DB system. I have since taken the VM down and am improving it a bit before I put it back up. I would like to offer it to the DB community and hope that it can be a growing project that incorporates the wisdom, skills, and experience of this group. The location of the VM will be on my Dropbox site at: http://db.tt/jLvtIjiC At the moment there I have some files, including the proposed license and other information and some quick-start instructions which will also be included in the home directory of the default user. Comments and suggestions are welcome. I won't put up the VM until I get an okay from someone here that the docs look reasonable for a start. I intend to name the VM: ubuntu-10.04-LTS-32-bit-DOCBOOK-tb-v1.0.0 unless I have better suggestions The site where I have the other information I released for my CompuTech 2012 presentation is at: http://db.tt/XLF49vfs If interested as a user or a contributor, please contact me at tom.brow...@gmail.com (and CC this list).

Of course Perl can do the same, I'd be interested in your Perl script as and when. Thanks for your interest, Ron and Paul. I'll post it when I have a rudimentary system working. First of all, I have all my db xml files in one directory, but your arrangement should work, too. The actual db source files for my doc have a .db.xml' extension so I can have miscellaneous xml files around and ease my Makefile editing. Here's what I've done so far: I made a file containing lines from all my db files: $ for f in `ls *.db.xml` ; do cat $f t.txt done Then I sorted the list and removed dup lines: $ sort t.txt | uniq index-words.txt I edit index-words.txt to select words and phrases to list per line. I put two special lines in the file for parsing: 1. a header line just to check for the proper file beginning: # index-words-and-phrases 2. a line to indicate end of parsing so the file can be used as a work in progress: # end-index-parse I hard-wired file index-words.txt as my initial input file and treat each line as a separate word or phrase to put in my dictionary (a Perl hash), Each line in the file gets white space normalization in the program before it is put in the hash. I'm still working on this part but I think I'm going to change my current simple hash on phrases to key on the number of words per line and so have a hash of numbers of words and then each owns a hash of phrases with that number of words. Then I loop over each member (f) of @ARGV and on it use this pseudo code: if f is --debug or --force, set that flag and continue if f is not a readable file continue if f is not a file with the correct extension continue die if there are problems opening the file for reading make a new file name for output (ofil) by appending a hard-wired suffix to f (.index_markup) if ofil exists continue unless force flag is true open ofil and loop over every line and do: from most words to least in the phrase hash look for matches (not case-significant) bound those found with index tags and eliminate that text from further searching output the [possibly modifed] line to the output file close the output file if no lines have been modified unlink the output file else push file name onto an array at end of program output names of files modified Then, for each file modified, use a visual diff prog to see results and modify original file as needed. I see this as an iterative process that I can work on when I'm looking for some boring work for relaxation. My current script execution without args looks like this: programlisting Usage: ./make_index_markup.pl [--debug] [--force] DocBook xml file(s) Example: $ ./make_index_markup.pl *.db.xml Uses file 'index-words.txt' as input to generate index markup. Output files are named same as input with '.index_markup' suffix. Existing file are not over written unless the '--force' option is used. Options must be first in the arg list before files to take effect for the duration of the run. /programlisting Obviously there is room for prepping the index input file to eliminate tags, etc. An xsl file could help, but my system relies on source line orientation. Also, much room for using tmp files or an array for output and only write the array or tmp file if any line was modified. I have thought about using xmllint to canonicalize the xml source first to help the situation. The actual algorithm used for the line matches is certainly not settled yet, but regexes will be used heavily (referring to my trusty copy of Perl Cookbook). I also need to check that a phrase found is not already indexed (since the process is iterative, the source file may already have the index tags). Comments and criticisms welcome.

[docbook-apps] Auto-generating an index

I have no problems now for tables spanning the print width, nor with tables of any width in html. But I need to center less-than-page-width tables in print.

[docbook-apps] Changing font size for a chunk of text inline
Is there any way to change the font size for a short piece of text?
I have tried using the phrase and emphasis tags with various
attempts at customization. The most likely thing I thought would work
was, taking a cue from Dean Nelson's font xsl file:
!-- a desperate hack--
!-- Change the font size of the emphasis (and force non-italic) --
xsl:template match=emphas...@font-size]
fo:inline font-size={...@font-size} font-weight=normal
font-style=normal
xsl:apply-templates/
/fo:inline
/xsl:template
But nothing changes.
My next step is to start modding the fo file, but that won't help the
html output any.
Ideas, anyone?

[docbook-apps] Want Table of Contents in HTML Chunked Headers
I want my headers on every html page (except the first) to show this: row 1: page title row 2:prevTable of Contents next I have successfully gotten the footer showing Table of Contents instead of 'Home by following Bob Stayton's instructions in his book. I copied the header.navigation template from html/chunker-common.xsl style sheet from 1.76.1 into my customization layer and have modified the second row middle cell so the parent title is not shown. Then I copied what I believe is the pertinent part of the footer.navigation.template into the header, second row, center cell. I haven't yet figured out how to tell reliably when I'm not on the first page. I think the pertinent chunk is the code for the row 2 center cell which is duplicated here: td width=20% align=center xsl:choose xsl:when test=$home != . or $nav.context = 'toc'!-- I believe $home need to be something else -- a accesskey=h xsl:attribute name=href xsl:call-template name=href.target xsl:with-param name=object select=$home/ /xsl:call-template /xsl:attribute xsl:call-template name=navig.content xsl:with-param name=direction select='home'/ /xsl:call-template /a xsl:if test=$chunk.tocs.and.lots != 0 and $nav.context != 'toc' xsl:text#160;|#160;/xsl:text /xsl:if /xsl:when xsl:otherwise#160;/xsl:otherwise /xsl:choose xsl:if test=$chunk.tocs.and.lots != 0 and $nav.context != 'toc' a accesskey=t xsl:attribute name=href xsl:apply-templates select=/*[1] mode=recursive-chunk-filename xsl:with-param name=recursive select=true()/ /xsl:apply-templates xsl:text-toc/xsl:text xsl:value-of select=$html.ext/ /xsl:attribute xsl:call-template name=gentext xsl:with-param name=key select='nav-toc'/ /xsl:call-template /a /xsl:if /td A gross solution I think is change $home to something else that identifies the html from file index.html but haven't figured out what yet.

[docbook-apps] DocBook/XSL/FO-HTML and Table Column Widths
I have pretty much converted an old, large html-based set of docs into DocBook 5. The only chunk I'm not happy with are the tables which need customizing to adjust column widths. Adjusting the column widths seems problematic at the moment for one using xsltproc. I see that Norm Walsh has a Python wrapper to take care of that (and I'll explore that soon), but that seems to add another layer to the tool chain that is already daunting for a newbie. My questions are: 1. Where should the necessary missing functions and algorithms be inserted, into xsltproc, or? 2. Are the table column formatting functions really extensions, or should they be considered part of a core standard that is missing in xsltproc and other xsl programs? I would like to offer my help for the situation but am not sure where to start. Thanks, -Tom Thomas M.

Isn't it a vector font so that any size can be produced? However, I found reference to fop bug 47279 which says: quote When the font-family property hasn't been specified in the FO file, it defaults to sans-serif,Symbol,ZapfDingbats. But the latter two aren't available in a bold variant. When a block of text can be rendered using the sans-serif family only, warnings are still issued about unavailable Symbol bold and ZapfDingbats bold. This is likely to puzzle users. /quote So, isn't the missing default fo entry due to a docbook bug? I couldn't find reference to anything similar in the docbook tracker. Thanks. -Tom Thomas M.

[docbook-apps] DocBook Spelling Aid
While working on my large set of docbook source files, which I've converted from the original html source, I discovered the need for a tool to check the spelling. I bashed together a Perl wrapper around the program 'hunspell' so the program can be run against a set of files, read the output, eliminate unnecessary lines, and use a hash to eliminate duplicates. I'm sure it can be improved, but I leave that as an exercise for the user. I uploaded it to the DocBook wiki at the bottom of this page: http://wiki.docbook.org/topic/ConvenienceTools#preview The Perl program is called check_spelling.pl and a limited help message is shown if you execute it without any arguments.
