Hi David,
Yes, qandaentry is handled in a special way because
qandaset is output in an HTML layout table, so each qandaentry becomes two row
(tr) elements in HTML output, one for the question and one for the answer.
In each row, the label is put in the first column and the paragraphs in the
second. A table layout is used so that the width of the first column can adjust
to fit the label, which can be long if labels are customized.
If you peek in the xhtml/qandaset.xsl, you can see
that the template that matches on "qandaentry" just does an
xsl:apply-templates. The templates matching on "question" and "answer"
each create its row. So your customization just needs to be modified
a bit, so it matches on the child elements:
<xsl:template
match="qandaentry[@audience='instructoronly']/*]"
mode="class.value">
<xsl:value-of
select="'instructoronly'"/>
</xsl:template>
That will add the class value to the <tr>
elements for the question and answer.
*But* there is one more thing that must be
done. It seems that not all of the qandaset templates have been updated to
apply the template using mode="class.value". The question template does,
but the answer template does not. I'll fix that in SVN, but for now you
would need to customize the template matching on "answer". Copy that
template and change this line from:
<tr
class="{local-name(.)}">
to
<tr>
<xsl:apply-templates select="."
mode="class.attribute"/>

Subject: [docbook-apps] qanda tags with
propagate.style
Hi
Regarding qandaentry tags -- Is there a way to
preserve audience="instructoronly" information in the
HTML?
Example:
<qandaentry xml:id="ball-ch01_qs01_qd01_qa02"
audience="instructoronly">
<question>
<para
xml:id="ball-ch01_qs01_p02">Give an example of matter in each phase: solid,
liquid, or gas.</para>
</question>
<answer>
<para
xml:id="ball-ch01_qs01_p03">solid: wood; liquid: water in a pond; gas: air
in the atmosphere (answers will vary)</para>
</answer>
</qandaentry>
Explaination:
We are using audience='instructoronly' on every
other qandaentry so that we can conditionally remove them from output via
styling (via styling to maintain label numbering)
We are doing this
with in prince for the pdf, and that is working fine.
But for the HTML
the xhtml/docbook.xsl transforms does not propaget the 'instructoronly' as a
div with class='instructoronly'
I tried
<xsl:template
match="qandaentry[@audience='instructoronly']"
mode="class.value">
<xsl:value-of
select="'instructoronly'"/>
</xsl:template>
But that
doesn't seem to work. I believe because it is rendered into an html
table.
Can anyone suggest away to maintain the
audience='instructoronly' in the HTML ?
Thank you very
much.
