Re: [docbook-apps] superscripts in page headers

The problem is 
in this line:

 

    <xsl:value-of 
select="//bookinfo/title"/>

 

When you take the value of an element, you are taking its string value, 
which ignores any element markup. 

One way of processing just the text without involving the "title" template 
is to use:

 

 <xsl:apply-template 
select="//bookinfo/title/node()"/>

 

Or you could just use:

 

        <xsl:apply-templates 
select="//book" mode="object.title.markup"/>

Subject: [docbook-apps] superscripts in 
  page headers

  

I am trying to use the contents of bookinfo/title in the 
  page header.
This title contains the subelement: 
  "<superscript>&reg;</superscript>".
I'm specifying this 
  with the following in my " header.content" template:

<xsl:when 
  test="$sequence = 'even' and $position = 'left'">  
   
   <xsl:value-of 
  select="//bookinfo/title"/>
</xsl:when>

The problem is that 
  the "superscript" is ignored and the "registered"
symbol is on the baseline 
  and too large.

For the right header I use the 
  following:

<xsl:when test="$sequence = 'odd' and $position = 
  'right'"> 
        
  <xsl:apply-templates select="." 
  mode="object.title.markup"/>
</xsl:when>

On the TOC pages 
  this pulls in the bookinfo/title, but here the "&reg;"
IS 
  superscripted. 

These are obviously taking different pathways through 
  the templates,
but is there any way to get the superscripting to work in 
  the first ?

My environment:
    docbook-xsl-1.73.2 
  (but get the same results with 1.72.0)
    FOP 
  0.94
    Docbook 4.12
   
   xalan-j_2_7_0
    Windows XP

Any help is 
  appreciated.

Thanks.
