Subject: Re: [docbook-apps] footnote numbering is suppressed


Title: Re: [docbook-apps] footnote numbering is suppressed
This is one of the gotchas of XSL import precedence.  This template in fo/footnote.xsl:
 
<xsl:template match="footnote/para[1]
                     |footnote/simpara[1]
                     |footnote/formalpara[1]"
              priority="2">
which generates the superscript in the para fo:block is being overridden by your customization of para.  A template match with a higher import precedence will always be used before a template of lower import precedence, even if  that has a better match and higher priority.  So you need to copy this template to your customization layer to raise its import precedence, or change your match attribute in your customization to exclude footnote parents:
 
match="para[not(parent::footnote)]"

Subject: Re: [docbook-apps] footnote numbering is suppressed

I found where it's going wrong, but why???

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<!DOCTYPE book PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.5//EN"
"http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.5/docbookx.dtd">
<book><title>A Book Title</title>
<chapter><title>A Chapter Title</title>
<para>some text in a para<footnote><para>this is a footnote</para></footnote> more text in a para</para>
</chapter>
</book>
Without any customization the footnote is numbered correctly, both in the text and below at the bottom of the page in the footnote.
When I add the following customization, the numbering is correct in the text, but disappears in the footnote itself.

<?xsl version="1.0" ?>
<xsl:stylesheet
      xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0"
      xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format" >
<xsl:import href="/Applications/Utilities/oxygen/8.1/oxygen/frameworks/docbook/xsl/fo/docbook.xsl" />
<xsl:template match="para">
 
<fo:block xsl:use-attribute-sets="normal.para.spacing">
 
<xsl:attribute name="font-size">
  
<xsl:choose>
    
<xsl:when test="@size = 'Less'">85%</xsl:when>
    
<xsl:when test="@size = 'Small'">75%</xsl:when>
    
<xsl:when test="@size = 'Smaller'">65%</xsl:when>
    
<xsl:otherwise>100%</xsl:otherwise>
  
</xsl:choose>
 
</xsl:attribute>
 
<xsl:attribute name="text-align">
  
<xsl:choose>
    
<xsl:when test="@role = 'Start'">start</xsl:when>
    
<xsl:when test="@role = 'Center'">center</xsl:when>
    
<xsl:otherwise>start</xsl:otherwise>
  
</xsl:choose>
 
</xsl:attribute>
   
<xsl:call-template name="anchor"/>
   
<xsl:apply-templates/>
 
</fo:block>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
If I make the footnote a <simpara>, I get the same problem if the customization layer contains this which is a unchanged copy from the Docbook XSL stylesheet.

<xsl:template match="simpara">
 
<fo:block xsl:use-attribute-sets="normal.para.spacing">
   
<xsl:if test="@id">
     
<xsl:attribute name="id"><xsl:value-of select="@id"/></xsl:attribute>
   
</xsl:if>
   
<xsl:apply-templates/>
 
</fo:block>
</xsl:template>

Can anyone explain what I'm doing wrong, and what is going on.

I find that footnotes are numbered in the body of the text, but the footnotes at the bottom of the page are not numbered.  The only footnote related content in my customization layer is:

<xsl:param name="footnote.font.size" select="'85%'" />
<xsl:param name="footnote.number.format" select="'1'" />

MacOS 10.3.9, Docbook 4.5, Saxon 6.5.5, XSL style sheets 1.70.1, XEP 4.9, using Oxygen 8.1

All suggestions welcome
