Re: [docbook-apps] change bars

Hi Douglas,

You have the import backwards.  The idea is to 
format your document with the changebars.xsl stylesheet, not import it.  
You should copy the changebars.xsl to a new name, edit it to import your 
existing customization layer, and process with your new customized 
changebars.xsl.

 

I haven't tried it with htmlhelp, which adds 
another layer of import.

Subject: [docbook-apps] change bars

  

I am confused (what's new) about how to use changebars.xsl. I 
  purchased Bob's book and it states on page 469 for html. I am using stylesheet 
  version 1.73.2.

"If you have a customization of the HTML stylesheet 
  that you would rather use to format the results, then copy the changebars.xsl 
  stylesheet and change the xsl:import statement to import your stylesheet 
  instead of the stock docbook.xsl. It will work with chunking or nonchunking 
  customizations. You change the colors and styles of the change markup by 
  customizing the template named system.head.content from the changebars.xsl 
  file."

So, I added changebars.xsl to to top of my customization file: 
  docbook-htmlhelp.xsl
<xsl:import 
  href="./html/changebars.xsl"/> 
<xsl:import 
  href="./htmlhelp/htmlhelp.xsl"/>

and to my second customization 
  file: docbook-html.xsl

<xsl:import 
  href="./html/chunk.xsl"/>
<xsl:import 
  href="./html/changebars.xsl"/> 

no love. I looked at the source and 
  no class for changes are present. Am I placing the files in the location or 
  ?

I did a test of the changebars.xsl doing a one liner and that worked 
  (see below). I did copy the CSS styles that generated and placed them into my 
  CSS file. 

java com.icl.saxon.StyleSheet -o result.html 
  UserGuideSGML.xml "C:\Documents and Settings\wadedo\My 
  Documents\work\Documentation\docbook-xsl-1.73.2\html\changebars.xsl"
