Subject: Re: [docbook-apps] Collecting glossentries in glossary database
Finally I got something working in HTML and I hope, that there are only some small changes required, to get it working with FO too (I think Jirka Kosek was the last one working on glossary.xsl, perhaps he can point out, what is needed). I still rely on glossterm/@linkend, the glossary can be (x)included in the document further on, so I have no problems with validating the document. The only problem remaining is with glossseealso. Either it can happen that relevant glossentries are missing, because they didn't appear in the document, but were referenced by a glossseealso, or too many of them appear in the result, because I gather all those, that were referenced by otherterm too. For the moment I work with the latter - I declared the following key: <xsl:key name="referenced-glossentries" match="glossterm/@linkend | glossseealso/@otherterm" use="."/> I use this key in the copy process of "glossary", to get the intersection between the referenced one and the glossary itself. The copy process is also used for sorting. The result tree may contain empty glossdivs, but the rest of glossary.xsl pays already attention to that (so I don't need to bother about it :-)). <xsl:template match="@* | node()" mode="collect-and-sort"> <xsl:copy> <xsl:apply-templates select="@*" mode="collect-and-sort"/> <!-- don't apply copy to glossentry, it gets extra "care" --> <xsl:apply-templates select="node()[not(name()='glossentry')]" mode="collect-and-sort"/> <!-- only use item of glossentry if it was at least referenced once--> <xsl:for-each select="glossentry[key('referenced-glossentries',@id)]"> <xsl:sort select="@sortas"/> <!-- acronym = your gusto!!! --> <xsl:sort select="acronym"/> <xsl:sort select="glossterm"/> <!-- (re)generate glossentry element--> <xsl:element name="glossentry"> <!-- and copy all of what it contained --> <xsl:copy-of select="@*"/> <xsl:copy-of select="*"/> </xsl:element> </xsl:for-each> </xsl:copy> </xsl:template> The copying template is called by a small template that triggers on an extra role attribute with the content "collect-and-sort" in the style of role="auto" of the existing "Glossary Collection" templates. I use a template name "make-glossary" (as in fo stylesheet) and extended the existing (normal) glossary template in glossary.xsl by this name. <xsl:template match="glossary[@role='collect-and-sort']" priority="2" > <xsl:variable name="collected.glossary"> <xsl:apply-templates select="self::glossary" mode="collect-and-sort" /> </xsl:variable> <xsl:for-each select="exsl:node-set($collected.glossary)/glossary"> <xsl:call-template name="make-glossary"/> </xsl:for-each> </xsl:template> I tested all this first in a driver stylesheet, then I checked out, how it would fit into the official stylesheets. I copied the two templates into common.xsl (they do not generate output dependent markup) and just extended the existing <xsl:template match="glossary"> with 'name="make-glossary"' - and it worked (in HTML). So actually, their would only be one line to be changed. One can imagine some further enhancements: 1) among role="collect-and-sort", collecting AND sorting should be controllable via 2 separate parameters 2) the glossseealso problem could bee solved by a two pass copy process Feedback is welcome! I would be glad to hear, if this solution is working in all circumstances, maybe it can be part of the normal stylesheet distro. Regards, Georges PS I can't tell, if my solution is generally working. Eg. as I was looking into the stylesheets, I was astonished, that @id is the only attribute used for key access so far, at least it was the only one I found.
