MHRA and Docbook XSL
Hi All,
I just wanted to let everyone know that I have written up a first
crack at MHRA styling in footnotes for Docbook. It took me a bit to
get back into the swing of XSLT but progress has been made. I am not
sure if it is proper netiquette but I have attached a copy of the
current working version to my email.
There are a few limitations at the moment. Everything is linked
to the book tag at the top of the document and thus can only support
books at the moment. This is because I couldn't use the ancestor axis
to match the linkend attribute of the biblioref tag to something in
the bibliography as the bibliography is not an ancestor (it is an
ancestral sibling). I am casting about for ways to allow articles to
join the fun. Also at the moment, the style only supports three types
of entries: books, journal articles, and articles in a book (called
incollection after BibTeX). I will probably add other types of
entries as the need arises. The last thing is that this only supports
output to XSL:FO, which means it only goes to PDF. I will be working
on other formats once I have doing this in PDF down.
Anyway, if anyone has any thoughts or feedback, I would be very
grateful to hear them. Also, I can provide an example bibliography on
request. Thank you very much for your time.
All the best,
Chris Yocum
