Subject: Re: [docbook-apps] How to make chemical structure automatically numbered
Hi Bernhard, You
said: > As long as there is no possible was to have a "proprietary"counter for structures (as figures) structures do not have anindependent numbering. The DocBook XSL stylesheets allow for a great deal of customization, so it is possible to set up independent counters if you are willing to write sufficient code. In this case, it isn't too hard because there is a separate XSL mode used for that called 'label.markup'. In the stylesheet file common/labels.xsl, you will find this template: <xsl:template match="d:figure|d:table|d:example"
mode="label.markup"> When a counter needs to be generated, the stylesheet does
<xsl:apply-templates mode="label.markup">, and the element
matched is processed by this template rather than the main
template for that element. All it does is output a number label. Most of the template code is handling whether or not the label contains chapter-number or just number. The key line that generates the sequence number is: <xsl:number format="1" from="book|article" level="any"/> This instruction is quite flexible and has a long reference page describing all the ways its attributes can be combined to do counting. One of its attributes that isn't shown is "count", which indicates what element is being counted. It isn't shown here because the default is the current context element (that element matched by the template). The count attribute holds a match _expression_, so can be written as: count="d:figure[@condition='chem']" so then each instance of its application will count only <figure condition="chem"> elements. You'll need two custom xsl:templates, one to match on figure[@condition != 'chem'] and one to match on figure[@condition = 'chem']. In each, you have <xsl:number> elements to match the condition for counting. One further complication is the word "Figure" in your language
would be applied to all of them. To change that will require
further customization. Bob Stayton Sagehill Enterprises bobs@sagehill.net On 10/12/2018 6:46 AM, Bernhard Kleine

Hi, Peter and Thomas, @Peter: It seems that figure is a valid element, however, the numbering of figure for structures would conflict with the numbering a normal figure. As long as there is no possible was to have a "proprietary" counter for structures (as figures) structures do not have an independent numbering. I wonder since there are an awful lot of chemical papers where there is an independent list of structures, that none of them has been prepared with docbook. Otherwise there would be a solution already. @Thomas: since the structures are svg as well as most figure in my book, I have considered svg. However, than I would lable a contruct of structures, but not the individual ones. Coming from LaTeX, the numbering of figures was always a simple use of apropriate macros.

Have you considered SVG? With SVG (or any other vector format) you can do all the fancy stuff (arrows, labeling etc.) that you need. |
