Hi Jen,
If you are using the namespaced version of the stylesheets
(docbook-xsl-ns), then you need to add the namespace to any element
references in the stylesheet:
d:releaseinfo

Subject: [docbook-apps] Adding releaseinfo to variable (to display
in footer)
Hi everyone,
Hoping for a little help yet again :) I'd like my footers to display the
value of the <releaseinfo> element (in the example below, 3.2), but they
are empty in PDF output. I'm pretty sure that the variable that should hold the
version never gets populated, but I don't understand why.
(In the future, I'd like to have productname+releaseinfo, but I got stuck
before having to figure out concatenations.)
In my XML, I have this:
<book xmlns="http://docbook.org/ns/docbook"
version="5.0">
<info>
<title>CTU User Guide</title>
<releaseinfo>3.2</releaseinfo>
<productname>CTU></productname>
</info>
[...]
</book>
In my XSL, I have:
<xsl:variable
name="Version">
<xsl:when
test="//releaseinfo">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:text>CTU
</xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of
select="//releaseinfo"/>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
CTU
3.0
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when
test="$sequence='blank'">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="$double.sided != 0
and $position = 'left'">
<xsl:value-of
select="$Version"/>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="$double.sided = 0
and $position = 'center'">
<!-- nop -->
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<fo:page-number/>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when
test="$pageclass='titlepage'">
<!-- nop: other titlepage
sequences have no footer -->
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="$double.sided != 0
and $sequence = 'even' and $position='left'">
<fo:page-number/>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="$double.sided != 0
and $sequence = 'odd' and $position='right'">
<fo:page-number/>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="$double.sided = 0
and $position='right'">
<fo:page-number/>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="$double.sided != 0
and $sequence = 'odd' and $position='left'">
<xsl:value-of
select="$Version"/>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="$double.sided != 0
and $sequence = 'even' and $position='right'">
<xsl:value-of
select="$Version"/>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="$double.sided = 0
and $position='left'">
<xsl:value-of
select="$Version"/>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<!-- nop -->
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
(This part is a bit messy, I think, but I inherited the customization layer
and I don't want to mess with it too much.)
If anyone can shed any light, it would help a ton - I'm very new to all
this and it gets confusing at times.
Thanks,
Jen
