Re: [docbook-apps] Removing number labels from tables, figures, and examples

This is odd.  I cut and pasted your 
customization into a customization layer, and the figures, tables, and examples 
do not show "Table" or "Figure", they just show the title.  Have you also 
customized the formal.object.heading template?

Subject: [docbook-apps] Removing number 
  labels from tables, figures, and examples

  

  

  
I use formal tables, figures, and 
  examples in PDF output, but I’d like to strip out the numbers for tables, 
  figures, and examples in HTML output. I’ve tried doing that by following the 
  instructions in DocBook XSL: The Complete Guide:

  
 

  
http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/PrintTableStyles.html#TablesUnnumbered

  
 

  
Here’s what my customization looks 
  like:

  
 

  
      
  <xsl:param 
  name="local.l10n.xml" 
  select="document('')"/>

  
      
  <l:i18n 
  xmlns:l="http://docbook.sourceforge.net/xmlns/l10n/1.0">

  
      
    <l:l10n 
  language="en">

  
      
      <l:context 
  name="title">

  
      
              
  <l:template 
  name="table" 
  text="%t" 
  />

  
      
              
  <l:template 
  name="figure" 
  text="%t" 
  />

  
      
              
  <l:template 
  name="example" 
  text="%t" 
  />

  
    
        </l:context>  
  

  
      
      <l:context 
  name="xref-number-and-title">

  
      
              
  <l:template 
  name="table" 
  text="the 
  table titled &#8220;%t&#8221;" />

  
      
              
  <l:template 
  name="figure" 
  text="the 
  figure titled &#8220;%t&#8221;" />

  
      
              
  <l:template 
  name="example" 
  text="the 
  example titled &#8220;%t&#8221;" />

  
    
        </l:context>  
  

  
      
      <l:context 
  name="xref">

  
      
              
  <l:template 
  name="page.citation" 
  text=" 
  on page&#160;%p" />

  
      
              
  <l:template 
  name="section" 
  text="%t"/>

  
      
              
  <l:template 
  name="olink.document.citation" 
  text=" 
  in&#160;%o"/>

  
      
              
  <l:template 
  name="olink.page.citation" 
  text=" 
  on page&#160;%p" />

  
    
        </l:context>  
  

  
      
    </l:l10n>

  
      
  </l:i18n>

  
      
  <xsl:template 
  match="table" 
  mode="label.markup"/>

  
      
  <xsl:template 
  match="figure" 
  mode="label.markup"/>

  
      
  <xsl:template 
  match="example" 
  mode="label.markup"/>

  
 

  
Although the last three lines 
  effectively remove the number from the table, figure, and example titles, they 
  don’t remove the word “Table”, “Figure”, and “Example”. I’m still left with 
  titles like this:

  
 

  
Table . Sample table 
  title

  
Figure . Sample figure 
  title

  
Example . Sample figure 
  title

  
 

  
Anyone know what I’m doing wrong? 
  My customization doesn’t appear to be stripping out the “Table %n.”, “Figure 
  %n.”, and “Example %n.”

  
 

  
BTW, I’m using DocBook 4.5 XSL 
  1.7.3.2 and Saxon 6.5.3 for my XSLT.
