Change Log: Common Functions

Changes to the Modular DocBook Stylesheet

This document summarizes the changes made to the Modular DocBook Stylesheet Common Functions:

Version 1.06, 22 Feb 1998

Fixed a bug in table handling where a PI before the first cell of a row could cause the stylesheet to crash.

Version 1.05, 19 Feb 1998

• Added basic support for Sets.

• Fixed bug in SECTLEVEL; default was erroneously 0 instead of 1.

Version 1.04, 15 Feb 1998

• Created dbl1usen.dsl, dbl1dege.dsl, and dbl1ru.dsl. The localization elements common to both stylesheets are now stored in these common files.

  International users: please let me know if there are any errors. If you can contribute new localizations, please do.

• Moved toc-depth back into the two stylesheets. It's really not that common since the desired values are likely to be different.

Version 1.03, 08 Feb 1998

• Added support for Editor in author-string.

• Changed heuristic for finding Titles in *-title-sosofo functions. The stylesheet now unwraps one level of BookBiblio, BiblioMisc, or BiblioSet.

Version 1.02, 03 Feb 1998

• Fixed the common table stylesheet module so that processing instructions between table rows and table entries do not cause problems.

• Added SimpleSect to the list of section elements.

• Added support for %chapter-autolabel%.

Version 1.01, 07 Jan 1998

Changes to the common stylesheet module:

• Added optional section argument to SECTLEVEL so that it can be called by sub-elements of a section (specificallly SubTitle).

• Added a LegalNotice autolabel function.

• Added a test to overhang-skip so that a table row with too many cells does not crash the stylesheet. No promises about the quality of the output if you do this. Maybe I should put a debug message in there?

Version 1.0, 30 Dec 1997

Changes to the common stylesheet module:

• Happy New Year!

• Moved the table support code to dbtable.dsl in the common directory. This, with a few other changes, makes using the table code for CALS tables in other DTDs much easier.

• Removed REFSECT1 and sections below it from the automatically generated TOC.

• Removed the automatic label for a RefEntry. There doesn't seem to be a good automatic label.

Version 0.4, 29 Dec 1997

Changes to the common stylesheet module:

• Removed uppercase-list and lowercase-list. They now appear in dblib.dsl.

• Added INBLOCK?, as a parallel to INLIST?, to test if the current node is in a block element.

• Added sidebar-autolabel.

This summary is fairly terse. If you have more detailed questions, ask the maintainer ;-).
