Subject: language-specific text alignment
This is a request for information on how to configure or customize DocBook to perform language-specific processing. This is not a question about language-specific text generation, or writing modes. Desired processing logic is: if lang=jp then alignment=justify, otherwise alignment=left. We use XXE as our input tool, DocBook as formatting instructions, and Apache ANT as our XML -> PDF processor. Our PDFs must be formatted based on the requirements of their destination country (US, Korea, China, Japan). This announcement, http://markmail.org/message/5wo3fy4fk5zwrkdx, says DocBook 1.74.2 has "support for writing.mode to set text direction and alignment based on document locale". This seems like what we need. But further investigation reveals that (a.) I don't know how to identify the version of DocBook stylesheets I'm using (which I inherited), and (b.) this support seems to be related only to HTML PI ?? Any suggestions, comments, ideas, solutions will be appreciated. Thank you, Susan
