Re: [docbook-apps] Customizing procedure steps

[Robert Fekete <frobert@balabit.com>]

Hi Bob,

Thank you very much for your help!
I managed to get it work for FO output with the customization below.
However, this is not propagated to HTML, and when trying to customize the 
<xsl:template match="step"> template from html/lists.xsl, the stylesheet alwaya 
added a line-break after the gentext part. But it was the FO part that was more 
important, and that's working.

Thanks again!

Regards,
Robert

   <xsl:template match="step" mode="number">
   <xsl:param name="rest" select="''"/>
   <xsl:param name="recursive" select="1"/>
   <xsl:variable name="format">
     <xsl:call-template name="procedure.step.numeration"/>
   </xsl:variable>
   <xsl:variable name="num">
     <xsl:number count="step" format="{$format}"/>
   </xsl:variable>
   <!-- Inserted gentext call, probably not quite right -->
       <xsl:call-template name="gentext">
            <xsl:with-param name="key" select="'Step'"/>
       </xsl:call-template>
       <!-- Needed to have a space between Step and the number, not recognized 
in gentext for some reason -->
       <xsl:text> </xsl:text>
   <xsl:choose>
     <xsl:when test="$recursive != 0 and ancestor::step">
       <xsl:apply-templates select="ancestor::step[1]" mode="number">
         <xsl:with-param name="rest" select="concat('.', $num, $rest)"/>
       </xsl:apply-templates>
     </xsl:when>
     <xsl:otherwise>
       <xsl:value-of select="concat($num, $rest)"/>
     </xsl:otherwise>
   </xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
