Re: [docbook-apps] Oxygen XML Editor: Docbook XML to HTML using CSS

OK, so the <body_text> thing was a separate 
issue relating to a missing XSL template in your customization, so I presume you 
fixed that.

 

Regarding the CSS, the Oxygen editor has its own 
CSS for displaying editable DocBook XML in the editor.  That CSS has 
selectors that match docbook element names as in your example.  Those CSS 
styles are only used in Oxygen, and do not propagate out to the HTML in any 
way.  This can be considered a good feature, because it allows you to 
define styles that are useful for editing purposes that are independent of the 
final output formats.

 

Those CSS styles will not work with HTML output, 
because the selectors match on DocBook element names, not HTML element names. 
You need another CSS file if you want to style the HTML output.

 

The DocBook XSL stylesheets support generating a 
CSS file during processing, deriving the styles from an XML file that contains a 
<style> element whose content is the CSS text you want in the CSS 
file.  The <style> element is there only to make the input file a 
well-formed XML file that can be processed with XSLT (since a CSS text file 
cannot be).  The stylesheet then generates a CSS text file from that input 
file.  See the reference pages for these params for more 
details:

Hello Bob, 

the error message you mentioned and the code you have 
  stated is correct. 

As an 
  example: 

chapter>sect1>title,
sect1>sect2>title,
sect2>sect3>title,
chapter>title
{
  font-size: 16pt;
  text-align: left;
  font-weight: bold;
  padding-bottom: 24pt;
} 

As you can see we 
  re-defined some default styles in our custom css stylesheet, the question is 
  if we have to re-define them as well inside our custom xsl stylesheet for 
  creating HTML in our custom style. 
If 
  so, do we need a css stylesheet at all or is it simply for the display in our 
  Editor ( Oxygen). 

Liebe 
  Grüße

Hi Daniel, 
I'm not clear what the problem is here.  You say you are 
  generating HTML output, but your example in red is not an HTML output element, 
  and you show the element markup itself as being displayed in the browser in 
  red.   
  
I suspect this is displaying an error-flagging feature of the 
  DocBook XSL stylesheet.  When the stylesheet encounters an input element 
  it does not recognize, it generates an error message along the lines 
  of: 
  
  
     Element body_text in namespace '' encountered in chapter, but no 
  template matches. 
  
and then outputs the element as escaped markup in red, with the 
  intent of making it visible so it can be fixed: 
  
    <span 
  style="color: 
  red">&lt;body_text&gt;test&lt;/body_text&gt;</span> 
  
  
Can you peek inside 
  your HTML and see if that is what you are getting?  If so, then your 
  customization layer needs to add a template with match="body_text" to process 
  that element.

Subject: [docbook-apps] Oxygen XML Editor: Docbook XML 
  to HTML using CSS 

Hello, 

currently we are having some problems customizing the 
  respective XSL stylesheet for transforming our documents into Html ( and if it 
  works also XHTML, webhelp etc.). 
The problems seems to be that Oxygen in a way is blocking 
  our CSS stylesheet, since it is obviously recognized by the XSL 
  stylesheet: 

<xsl:template name="user.head.content"> 
      
   <style type="text/css"> 
          
   &css; 
       </style> 
  
   </xsl:template> 

The code staed above is working out pretty fine, but still 
  the result we we see is not what we configured. 
  

As a consequence, the ouput is 
  not what it should be. 

Instead applying what was 
  specified: 

body_text{ 
  font-family: Ariel; 
  
  font-size: 10pt; 
  line-height: 100%; 
  text-align: left; 
  
  padding-bottom: 12pt; 
} 

the result is <body_text>test</body_text> 
  . It is red instead of black. 

Can anyone give me a 
  hint what the problem is? Have I configured Oxygen incorrectly or is it the 
  XSL Stylesheet. 

Thanks!
