Hi Bernhard,

From what Bob told me, they plan to make at some point a new release of the DocBook XSLTs and the problem is fixed there.

So when that new release is made, we'll try to integrate it in a future Oxygen version.

When it comes to publishing, our focus is on DITA publishing, for DocBook we provide the XSLTs as they are bundled with the DocBook project but we do not have members of the team allocated to enhance DocBook editing further.

Regards,

Radu

Dear Radu,

here is an example and the pdf raised with the xslt-snapshot. Please ignore the chapterwise pagenumbers. I did not reduce the private transformation layer. This pagenumbers are not relevant to the problem. How the snapshot was incorparated into the transformation layer I have already shown.

Hi Bernhard,

I need a small sample DocBook document to work with. Also details about how the output should look like when published to EPUB3.

By this remark:

With the new versions of xsl it works.
to what XSLTs are you referring to? Do you use newer XSLTs for the PDF transformation?

Radu

Hi, Radu

Different indices are done via the "type" argument of indexterm, as it is described in the DocBook 5 Guide by Norman Walsh. With the new versions of xsl it works.

Multiple indexes

Authors can choose to have several types of indexes: for example, function, command, and concept indexes. This can be achieved in DocBook with the type attribute. All of the indexterms with a particular type will be collected together in the index with the same type.

Hi Bernhard, Bob,

Oxygen ships with the DocBook 1.79.2 XSLT stylesheets.
I looked at the folder where the DocBook to EPUB3 transformation scripts exist:

OXYGEN_INSTALL_DIR/frameworks/docbook/xsl/epub3

and it seems that about 7 years ago I'm the one who added a build file to build the EPUB after the XSLT transformations are done.

Question for Bob:
Should I update the DocBook XSLTs in Oxygen to a newer stable version? If so, which one would be that?

Question for Bernard:
My knowledge of DocBook indices and how they are used is quite limited. Could you give me precise details about how you expect the indices to work in the EPUB? I added your indices sample to a small DocBook 5 XML document I have, they seem to look similar when publishing to EPUB 3 or to PDF.

Regards,
Radu

I believe the problem lies with the version of DocBook XSL that ships with Oxygen.  This issue has been recorded as an issue and fixed in the Github source files, but a new release needs to be made so it can be incorporated into Oxygen.

The fix is not simple, so feel free to contact me directly if you want to incorporate it into your stylesheet.

Hi,

while docbook to pdf transformation does respect the different indices,
ant does not. Who may I have to contact and where to complain? The
following is totally mixed up.

    <index type="scName">
         <title>Scientific names</title>
     </index>
     <index type="dtName">
         <title>Deutsche Namensliste</title>
     </index>
     <index type="RWP">
         <title>Plants for Caterpillars</title>
     </index>
     <index type="idx">
         <title>General Index</title>
     </index>

Kind regards Bernhard
