Note: This changelog is a record of descriptions of all changes made to the DocBook XSL manpages stylesheets during the time when they were maintained in their original home in the [cvs]/docbook/contrib/xsl/db2man area of the DocBook Project source-code repository at Sourceforge; that is, from October 2001 (when they were contributed to the project by Martijn van Beers) until September 2002 (when they were moved to the [cvs]/docbook/xsl/manpages area and became a standard part of all subsequent DocBook XSL Stylesheets releases). 2002-09-17 Norman Walsh * README, db2man.xsl, lists.xsl, sect23.xsl, synop.xsl, xref.xsl: Moved to docbook/xsl/manpages * db2man.xsl, synop.xsl: Patch from Joe Orton 2002-06-16 * db2man.xsl: commit patch sent by Joe Orton: This patch adds support for using the productname, date and title out of a if one is present, rather than having to add each of these individually for every refentry. * db2man.xsl: Tim Waugh sent: This patch normalizes space in each refname before displaying it in the name section. 2002-05-21 * xref.xsl: from Joe Orton: this patch allows cross-referencing to a specific refname. I need this since I'm documenting several different (but related) functions per refentry, and want to cross-reference them individually, rather than just by the title used for the refentry as a whole. 2002-05-17 * lists.xsl: apply glosslist support patch from twaugh 2002-05-15 * db2man.xsl: slightly sanitize the filenames we generate. again from twaugh * db2man.xsl: Apply twaugh's fix for making the entity transform stuff work 2002-05-14 * db2man.xsl: generalize the tip template for all admonitions (caution,important,note,tip,warning) * db2man.xsl: Apply Joe Orton's patch, modified to be indented. Also show "Tip" in the title. so if foo, you get Tip: foo * synop.xsl: rewrote funcprototype. It used to convert all its children to a single string and the split it up again through recursion. Now has a nice foreach loop for the paramdefs, which seems much cleaner than throwing everything in a big string before processing it. 2002-05-10 * db2man.xsl: add support for simpara * db2man.xsl, lists.xsl: fix refsect2 titles * synop.xsl: also from twaugh: I found some input that goes wrong with the synop.xsl we have in CVS: -o FILE --output=FILE It gets rendered as (with *bold* and _italic_): [*-o FILE* | *--output=FILE*] The desired markup should look like: The following macro does the trick: [\fB-o \fIFILE\fR\fR | \fB--output=\fIFILE\fR\fR] The trouble is that the named template 'bold' uses value-of, and so strips of its significance. Another thing I found is that the arg/replaceable template is superfluous altogether: db2man.xsl has a 'replaceable' template which does the same thing. Here is a patch to make those two modifications. NOTE TO SELF: must try to fix bold template so we can use it everywhere 2002-05-09 * db2man.xsl: oops, removed too much * db2man.xsl: remove stuff that's apparently left-over from sect23.xsl * db2man.xsl, lists.xsl, synop.xsl: batch of patches from twaugh: * This patch (based on one from Jirka Kosek) adds support for block-level elements inside s---s for example, or lists. * This patch replaces entities (like '舒') with sensible characters or groups of characters. * This patch adds support for sbr. * This patch normalizes spaces in varlistentry terms. * This patch normalizes spaces in terminal varlistentry terms. * This patch allows variable lists to be nested (once). * This patch prevents variable list item paragraphs from merging into one another. * This patch improves the rendering of itemized lists, and adds support for ordered lists and procedures. * This patch makes some small adjustments to group/arg: don't put extra spaces in where they aren't needed, and normalize the space of $arg. * This patch makes adjustments to cmdsynopsis elements. In particular, they can now be wrapped if no is provided. * This patch adds funcsynopsis//* support. Again, wrapping is done automatically. * synop.xsl: make synopsises work for --arg=foo s too * synop.xsl: remove unneccesary adding of whitespace for arg/replaceable 2002-05-01 * db2man.xsl: This patch adds support for multiple refnames. (another twaugh patch) * db2man.xsl: modified ulink patch from twaugh. Be nice to content-less ulinks. But we don't accomodate silly people who don't understand ulink and put the url as the content too. * db2man.xsl, synop.xsl: db2man.xsl: * temporarily add some params that chunker.xsl needs * fix bold/italic templates * update calls to bold/italic templates for new syntax synop.xsl: * add support for synopfragment * update calls to bold/italic templates for new syntax 2002-04-30 * db2man.xsl: Add twaug's patch for xref support * db2man.xsl: This patch adds support for: - Multiple authors. - A (single) man page editor. (another patch from twaugh) * db2man.xsl: more twaugh patches: - Use refentrytitle, not refname[1], for title. - Upper-case it. - Use date, productname, and title. - Pick up author from main document if not contained in refentry. - Use refname[1] for man page filename, not refentrytitle. * db2man.xsl: add varname support * db2man.xsl: This patch makes userinput (an inline element) have inline formatting. * db2man.xsl: This patch adds support for the top-level document being something other than an article. It also emits a helpful warning if no refentry elements are found. * db2man.xsl: next twaugh patch: Instead of writing to stdout, create a file for each refentry. Plus, for bonus points, a file for each additional refname within that entry (pointing to the main page). * db2man.xsl: Add named templates for bold-ifying and italicizing stuff. Inspired by yet another twaugh patch * db2man.xsl, lists.xsl, sect23.xsl: consistently use instead of a newline * db2man.xsl, synop.xsl: * add support for informalexample, screen, errorcode, constant, type, quote, programlisting and citerefentry * use the 'bold' and 'italic' named templates * xref.xsl: New file. 2001-12-01 Norman Walsh * README, db2man.xsl, lists.xsl, sect23.xsl, synop.xsl: New file.
