Re: [docbook-apps] Modifying line-height for table title



Hi Dave,

I'm glad it worked for you, but that solution 
may have some unintended consequences.  As you can see from Table 30.2 in 
my book:

 

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

 

the table.properties attribute set is added by the 
stylesheet to the outermost fo:block that contains the table title and the 
entire table.  So adding formal.title.properties to table.properties means 
any properties in formal.title.properties are applied to the entire table 
through inheritance, unless overridden by properties on specific elements.  
Didn't that turn your table into all bold, for example?  

 

Also, formal.title.properties is already applied to 
the title, so adding it to the outer wrapper should have no effect.  So I'm 
not clear why it worked for you.

 

I thought you were looking for something more 
specific--to apply line-height to just the table title.  Adding the 
line-height property to the formal.title.properties would accomplish that, 
without changing table.properties.

Bob,

  
Thanks - I added use-attribute sets to table.properties and that 
  worked:

  
  <xsl:attribute-set name="table.properties" 
  
    
  use-attribute-sets="formal.title.properties">

Hi Dave,

    
In order to make the titles of figures, tables, 
    examples consistent in format, there is a separate attribute-set for them 
    named 'formal.title.properties'.  See this reference for 
    details:

    
 

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

    
 

    
jThat att-set does not actually set the 
    line-height property, so I think the title is inheriting it from the 
    root.properties attribute set, which sets its value to 'normal'.  Most 
    FO processors interpret 'normal' as 1.2em.

      line-height for table title

      

      

      
I have set a parameter for line-height 
      (“graphiclineheight”= 1) that works for all text within formal objects - 
      figure, example and the body of tables (i.e. text within table.table). 
      This parameter though doesn’t modify the line-height for d:table/d:title. 
      I looked at the FO output and it seems that d:table/d:title is picking up 
      the line-height for body text, which is 1.2. I have experimented with 
      adding a specific smaller line-height (0.8) within table.properties then 
      the ‘graphiclineheight’ one within table.table.properties, but this only 
      modifies the line height of footnotes which I know is modified by 
      attributes within table.properties – but the table title inexplicably 
      remains unchanged.

      
I’ve tried to find some relevant fo:block code within 
      tables.xsl and formal.xsl, but I can’t see what else to modify.

      

      
Here are my customisations that incorporate 
      line-height for tables:

      
 

      
In “tables.xsl”:
  
      <xsl:param 
      name="tabletitlelineheight">0.8 
</xsl:param>

      
  
      <xsl:attribute-set

      <!-- allows tables 
      to 
      
      
      break ('auto') or not break ('always') across pages --> 
      
    
      <xsl:attribute 
      name="background-color"></xsl:attribute> <!-- specify 
      
      web colour (e.g. #e0e0e0) *****works 28/9/11 -->
    
      <xsl:attribute 
      name="hyphenate"> 
      false 
      </xsl:attribute> 
      <!--hyphenation of 
      text; 
      
      default: false (do not hyphenate). OPTIONS: false, 
      true-->
    
      <xsl:attribute 
      name="text-align"> 
      justify 
      </xsl:attribute>

      <!--indent from

      <!--

  </xsl:attribute-set>

      
 

      

      
And in “graphics.xsl”:
  
      <xsl:param 
      name="graphiclineheight">
    
      <xsl:choose> 
      
      <xsl:when test = 
      "$graphicfontstyle='sans-serif'"> 
      
         
      <xsl:value-of 
      select="$line-height 
      * 1"/>
      
      </xsl:when> 
      
      <xsl:otherwise> 
      
        
      <xsl:value-of 
      select="$line-height"/>
      
      </xsl:otherwise>
    
      </xsl:choose> 
      
  </xsl:param>

      
 

      

      
See attached for sample FO output.

      
Thanks,
