DocBook Stylesheets V1.24 Released

[Norman Walsh <ndw@xxxxxxxxxx>]

See http://nwalsh.com/docbook/dsssl, as usual.

The release notes are below.

Of major interest: external "image libraries" for getting the width and
height of graphics and _print_ indexing! (with restrictions, see
http://nwalsh.com/docbook/dsssl/doc/indexing.html).

Changes since version 1.23 (1998-11-05)

Changes to docbook/*

  | 1998-11-19  Norman Walsh  <ndw@xxxxxxxxxx>
  | 
  | 	* VERSION: Version 1.24 released
  | 
  | 	* VERSION: New file.
  | 
  | 	* catalog: Added Image Library
  | 	Changed OLink Summary version
  | 	Moved SGML Declaration
  | 

Changes to docbook/lib/*

  | 1998-11-19  Norman Walsh  <ndw@xxxxxxxxxx>
  | 
  | 	* dblib.dsl: Added component-list-child-number
  | 
  | 	* dblib.dsl:
  | 	Removed version number from %library-version% (maybe I should
  | 	rename that).  There are just too many files with version
  | 	numbers in them.  See VERSION in the distribution for the
  | 	distribution version.  Each file has an RCS ID that can be
  | 	used to track it, if necessary.
  | 

Changes to docbook/common/*

  | 1998-11-19  Norman Walsh  <ndw@xxxxxxxxxx>
  | 
  | 	* dbcommon.dsl, dbtable.dsl:
  | 	Removed version number; see ChangeLog for lib/dblib.dsl
  | 
  | 	* dbl1usen.dsl, dbl1usen.ent: Added support for RefEntry and RefSect1-3
  | 

Changes to docbook/print/*

  | 1998-11-19  Norman Walsh  <ndw@xxxxxxxxxx>
  | 
  | 	* dbblock.dsl: Added support for footnoted ulinks
  | 
  | 	* dblink.dsl: Added support for footnoted ULINKs
  | 
  | 	* dbparam.dsl: Added %footnote-ulinks%
  | 
  | 	* version.dsl: Removed version number; see ChangeLog for lib/dblib.dsl
  | 
  | 	* dbindex.dsl: Added support for an index. See the docs.
  | 
  | 	* dbparam.dsl: Added image-library and image-library-filename.
  | 	The image library is an external XML document which
  | 	contains additional information about images. It's
  | 	used mainly in the HTML backend.
  | 
  | 	Added %page-column-sep% and %page-balance-columns?%
  | 	to control the default parameters when doing multiple
  | 	columns.
  | 
  | 	* docbook.dsl: Added declare-characteristics for page-column-sep and
  | 	page-balance-columns? Added all-element-number.
  | 
  | 	* dbttlpg.dsl: Added a small hack (an empty paragraph with line spacing
  | 	of 1pt) to make graphics print correctly if they're the
  | 	first thing on the page.  (Is there a better way?)
  | 
  | 	* dbsynop.dsl: The SEPCHAR wasn't handled correctly when the synopsis
  | 	contained a mixture of ARGs and GROUPs.
  | 

Changes to docbook/html/*

  | 1998-11-19  Norman Walsh  <ndw@xxxxxxxxxx>
  | 
  | 	* dbhtml.dsl, dbindex.dsl, dbnavig.dsl, dbttlpg.dsl, docbook.dsl:
  | 	Added support for writing output to a location other than the current directory.
  | 
  | 	* version.dsl: Removed version number; see ChangeLog for lib/dblib.dsl
  | 
  | 	* dbindex.dsl:
  | 	Tinkered with the indexing code in order to support indexing
  | 	in the print backends.
  | 
  | 	* dbgraph.dsl:
  | 	Added support for an image library containing additional info
  | 	about a graphic (including things like width, height, and
  | 	ALT text).
  | 
  | 	* dbparam.dsl:
  | 	Added image-library and image-library-filename. See docs.
  | 
  | 	* dbnavig.dsl: Fixed an indent.
  | 	(in the source, not the output)
  | 
  | 	* dblink.dsl: Added support for TYPE=HREF on OLINK.  If TYPE=HREF then
  | 	the linked document must be in the same directory and the
  | 	link will use the HREF from the *.olink file (generated
  | 	by the olink.dsl stylesheet).
  | 
  | 	(This allows OLINK to be used without a CGI script for
  | 	documents in the same directory.)
  | 
  | 	* dbcompon.dsl: Added a DIV around components.
  | 
  | 	* dbttlpg.dsl:
  | 	Added a DIV around titlepages.  Added support for ORGNAME
  | 	and PRODUCTNUMBER on BOOK titlepages.  Added support for
  | 	ABSTRACTs with a TITLE.
  | 
  | 	* dbsect.dsl: Added a DIV with a CLASS around sections.
  | 
  | 	* dbhtml.dsl: Added named anchors to block-containers.
  | 
  | 	* dbblock.dsl: An ABSTRACT can have a title; so it's not a block,
  | 	it's a semiformal-object.
  | 
  | 	* dbsynop.dsl: The SEPCHAR wasn't handled correctly when the synopsis
  | 	contained a mixture of ARGs and GROUPs.
  | 
  | 	* dbadmon.dsl: Added DIVs with appropriate CLASS attributes
  | 	around all admonitions
  | 

Changes to docbook/bin/*

  | 1998-11-19  Norman Walsh  <ndw@xxxxxxxxxx>
  | 
  | 	* collateindex.pl: Added RCS ID
  | 
  | 	Added -f and -N
  | 
  | 	Hacked output a bit for use with both HTML and print indexes.
  | 	(Mostly added ROLE attribute to the ULINKs)
  | 
  | 	Scope is no longer used to determine "sameness"
  |
