Re: [docbook-apps] DocBook XSLT 2.0 Stylesheets question with regardsto XHTML output

[Lars Vogel <lars.vogel@googlemail.com>]

Hi Bob,

thanks for the clarification.�

XHTML5 support via�XSLT 1.0 stylesheets and DocBook 4 are great news for me as I don't have to change my toolchain (immediately). Looking forward to this snapshot release.�

Best regards, Lars

Hi Lars,

Your assumption about needing to use the XSLT 2.0 stylesheets with DocBook 5 is not correct.� 8^)

The XSLT 1.0 stylesheets in the docbook-xsl-ns-1.76.1 distribution can be used with DocBook 5 (the "ns" stands for namespaced).� That usage is�documented here:

�

http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/ProcesingDb5.html#Db5Xslt

�

Regarding the HTML output, the html/docbook.xsl stylesheet file in Norm's 2.0 distro has this to indicate it is xhtml output:

�

� <xsl:output method="xhtml" encoding="utf-8" indent="no"/>

So the default output is XHTML.

�

I'll just mention that HTML5 support is coming to the XSLT 1.0 stylesheets as well.� I've been working on the EPUB3 output, which requires HTML5.� So the next XSLT 1.0 distribution will include XHTML5 and EPUB3 stylesheets.� I expect to have them included in a snapshot distribution very soon.�

Subject: [docbook-apps] DocBook XSLT 2.0 Stylesheets question with regards to XHTML output

Hello,

I say a tweet from Norman Walsh that the XSLT 2.0 Stylesheets will convert to HTML5 which I like. I assume that if I want to use DocBook5 I have to use the new��XSLT 2.0 Stylesheets for conversion. Please correct me if that assumption is incorrect.

As far as I know DocBook XSLT Stylesheets�prio to 2.0 that the option to convert either to �HTML or XHTML output via different stylesheets.�I see the DocBook XSLT 2.0 Stylesheets have no "xhtml" subfolder.�

My question:

--------------

Will�DocBook XSLT 2.0 Stylesheets per default convert to XHTML?

--------------

I would like what but could not find information about that in the "README" of Normans Release.

Best regards, Lars
