Subject: DOCBOOK-APPS: Formatting Authors etc.
Using the DSSSL style-sheets (1.54), I find that the formatting of <authorgroup> information is highly unpredictable, and often bad, on both the print and html style-sheets. For examples: If I specify an <editor>, and several <othercredit>s, I have to use only the <firstname> tag for all the <othercredit>s, as otherwise it spreads <firstname> <othername> and <surname> over 3 lines, but the <editor> name appears all on one line anyway. Multiple editors and nothing else formats well, though. If I specify an <author> and one <othercredit>, the print style-sheet formats this as: and (author-name)and (othercredit-name) which is most horrible to read (leading and, no space before second and). The html style-sheet doesn't format this at all (probably because it is only <chapterinfo> within a book ?). Two <author>s appears to format OK, but if I add a <copyright> notice for both authors (two <holder> statements), I have to prefix (initial-blank)and(blank) to the contents of the second <holder> tag. And on the html style-sheet, the Copyright information is tagged on to the author information, with neither a space nor a line break, looking most ugly (the print style-sheet throws in a line break, so that's OK). -- Colin Paul Adams Preston Lancashire
