We have quite a few cases where sections have an immutable identifier,
particularly when related to software requirements.
So for example, we could do:
<section xml:id="REQ_001">
<title>My Requirements Title</title>
<para>Section content here.....</para>
</section>
What would be really helpful is if we could cause the section’s xml:id
to be rendered into the title element, so we’d actually see the
following in the PDF output:
See answer in my previous email.
It would be nice if this appeared in the XmlMind editor view as well,
but I’m not so bothered about that.
How could we achieve this?
This one is easy. Please proceed as follows:
1) Open any DocBook document of yours in XXE.
This document is expected to be a DocBook 5.0 or 5.1 document.
2) Select menu item "Options|Customize Configuration|Customize CSS
Stylesheet" (see
http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/help/customizeStylesheetDialog.html)
This displays a dialog box.
3) Paste this CSS rule in the dialog box:
---
section[xml|id ^= "REQ_"] > title::after,
sect1[xml|id ^= "REQ_"] > title::after,
sect2[xml|id ^= "REQ_"] > title::after,
sect3[xml|id ^= "REQ_"] > title::after,
sect4[xml|id ^= "REQ_"] > title::after,
sect5[xml|id ^= "REQ_"] > title::after,
section[xml|id ^= "REQ_"] > info > title::after,
sect1[xml|id ^= "REQ_"] > info > title::after,
sect2[xml|id ^= "REQ_"] > info > title::after,
sect3[xml|id ^= "REQ_"] > info > title::after,
sect4[xml|id ^= "REQ_"] > info > title::after,
sect5[xml|id ^= "REQ_"] > info > title::after {
content: " (" xpath("(ancestor::*[self::db5:section or
self::db5:sect1 or self::db5:sect2 or self::db5:sect3 or self::db5:sect4
or self::db5:sect5])[last()]/@xml:id") ")";
}
---
See attached screenshot.
4) Click OK to close the dialog box.
This setting is done once for all and will be used for all your DocBook
5.0 or 5.1 documents.
