Subject: DOCBOOK-APPS: Sorting and non-en_US indexes
We're going to have some DocBook documents localized in a number of languages and generate html, html help, and pdfs using an xsl-based toolchain. Running some basic tests with a Japanese document, things generally work ok for all formats, but I haven't tested an autoidx.xsl-generated index yet. Some posts make me think that sorting of non-English indexes might be a problem: http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/docbook-apps/200208/msg00200.html http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/docbook-apps/200111/msg00339.html Poking my head in autoidx.xsl (which, unsurpisingly, mystifies me), I notice the xsl:sorts don't have lang attributes. On the other hand, the DocBook community is pretty international, so I should think that if there were serious problems, there'd be more posts about it. Could somebody give me an indication of the status of generating indexes using the DocBook xsls and various languages? A related question regards xsl processors and sorting. I checked Saxon's mailing list, but couldn't tell whether I could expect it to sort correctly out-of-the-box or if we'd have to do a little work: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=77605 http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=1048531 Some recent threads give an indication of what tools to consider <http://lists.oasis-open.org/htdig/bin/htsearch?config=lists_oasis-open_ org&restrict=%2Fdocbook-apps%2F&method=and&sort=score&words=japanese> and mention xsltproc, but I didn't notice any discussion about sorting or indexing wrt the xsl processor. Current tools: * Docbook xsls, 1.50.0, 1.53.0 * Saxon 6.5 * XEP 2.7 Thanks, David
