Subject: Re: DocBook XSL and Internationalization
/ "Bill Burns" <bburns@verbumcomm.com> was heard to say: | - Default fonts | This would be the actual definition in a template, not the inclusion of the | font files themselves in the tools. | | While Unicode fonts, can contain all characters, some (perhaps most?) do | not, and sometimes a Unicode font isn't appropriate for an output. Do the | DocBook style sheets take this into consideration and provide separate | locale-specific control for fonts, or is this a customization that would | need to be added to test for specific locales? The font sets are parameterized, but not by locale. Unfortunately, I don't see any way *to* properly parameterize by locale without knowing in advance what fonts work in which locales. | - Word/character order for autogenerated components (xrefs, headers and | footers, chapter and appendix numbering) | | Items containing autgenerated page numbers, chapter numbers, or other | autogenerated text may vary depending on the syntax of the target language. | Is this already addressed in DocBook XSL? Yes. | - Chapter, appendix and list numbering (for those locales that don't use | Arabic numerals) I think that's handled. | | Are there any other areas of concern that DocBook XSL addresses in part or | in whole? Are there any areas of concern for localizers who work with | DocBook data? I'm not an I18N or L10N expert, but we've tried to be responsive to requests from folks who are. Be seeing you, norm -- Norman Walsh <ndw@nwalsh.com> | Throughout history the world has http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/ | been laid waste to ensure the Chair, DocBook Technical Committee | triumph of conceptions that are | now as dead as the men that died | for them.--Henry De Montherlant
