docbook-xsl (1.76.0~RC1+dfsg-1) experimental; urgency=low The webhelp (output) support, added in 1.76.0, will be packaged in a separate package later. -- Daniel Leidert (dale) Tue, 31 Aug 2010 22:20:51 +0200 docbook-xsl (1.75.2+dfsg-2) unstable; urgency=low dbtoepub is now shipped in its own package (#525808). -- Daniel Leidert (dale) Thu, 23 Jul 2009 15:34:44 +0200 docbook-xsl (1.74.3+dfsg-1) unstable; urgency=low IMPORTANT: The stylesheets have been moved from /usr/share/xml/docbook/stylesheet/nwalsh/ to /usr/share/xml/docbook/stylesheet/docbook-xsl/. The old directory is a symlink to the new location for compatibility reasons. Note, that I plan to drop the old location /usr/share/xml/docbook/stylesheet/nwalsh/ in the future. So plese adjust the path in your scripts, XML documents, ... or better: use the WWW resource URI and the catalog system. The patch to support reading the default papersize from /etc/papersize (#173093, #382505) has been dropped, because it creates a failure if the configuration file is not present (#511005). So use a frontend, which supports libpaper or set the paper.type parameter in your stylesheet. There is now also a new script `dbtoepub' (PoC, alpha state) to create EPUB output from DocBook books and articles. Send your suggestions. -- Daniel Leidert (dale) Fri, 20 Feb 2009 16:11:00 +0100 docbook-xsl (1.73.2.dfsg.1-2) unstable; urgency=low This release fixes the broken legalnotice and revhistory links in (X)HTML output. It further implements a design change made by upstream - you now MUST set the use.id.as.filename to create legalnotice or revhistory filenames from their ID. Otherwise the stylesheets will fall back to use generate-id() and compute a filename from the return value of this XSLT function. In the past, existing IDs were used, even if use.id.as.filename was not set. Alternatively you can also use the dbhtml filename PI to choose a name for your revhistory or legalnotice chunk(s). -- Daniel Leidert (dale) Wed, 26 Sep 2007 22:34:52 +0200 docbook-xsl (1.73.0.dfsg.1-1) unstable; urgency=low In the 1.72.0 release there was a regression regarding the backslash, dot and dash handling, that lead to several "broken" manpages, showing visible man macros. These issues wer almost caused by some non-compliant custom templates. In the following bug reports (docbook-xsl) (aptitude) (git-core) you can read more about the details and probelms. With the 1.73 release, upstream reverted this change and restored the pre-1.72 behaviour. However, whenever you need to make some text bold or italic in manpages, read the comments in /usr/share/xml/docbook/stylesheet/nwalsh/manpages/utility.xsl about the available bold/italic named templates or ask for assistence to avoid the same issues in the future. Footnote handling in the current manpages code pretty much assumes that, if you have a table or list or something in footnote, it's always preceded by some text -- like, The following list shows foo bar... ... instead of ... or .... See the release notes in /usr/share/doc/docbook-xsl/changelog.gz for a more detailed explanation and other important hints. Further a special (Debian-only) patch has been implemented to fix the bugs In these reports it was requested, that the default value of the paper.type parameter is set accordingly to the value in /etc/papersize. This patch is considered to be experimental. Don't bug upstream with issues, if you observe one - only bug me (and the Debian BTS). A further limitation is, that only the values, that are shared between the paper.type parameter values of docbook-xsl and the papersize values are currently supported. Otherwise, the code will fall back to the default 'USletter'. -- Daniel Leidert (dale) Mon, 20 Aug 2007 03:55:18 +0200 docbook-xsl (1.72.0.dfsg.1-1) unstable; urgency=low The docbook-xsl-doc package was split into 3 packages: - docbook-xsl-doc-html - containing the HTML documentation (shipped with docbook-xsl-doc in the past) - docbook-xsl-doc-pdf - containing a PDF version of the documentation - docbook-xsl-doc-text - containing a plain ASCII text version of the documentation All 3 packages conflict with docbook-xsl-doc to ease transition. -- Daniel Leidert (dale) Sat, 24 Feb 2007 01:12:26 +0100 docbook-xsl (1.73.2.dfsg.1-2) unstable; urgency=low This release fixes the broken legalnotice and revhistory links in (X)HTML output.
