Subject: Hacking (make element) in the DocBook stylesheets From: Norman Walsh <ndw@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 28 Aug 1998 09:08:36 -0400 |
Hello world,
I'm toying with the following idea: replace all calls to (make
element) in the DocBook HTML Stylesheet with a function call,
(make-element), that can generate more reasonable line breaks.
The (make-element) function manages to take exactly the same
arguments as (make element).
Roughly half the time, it seems like the right thing to do. The
rest of the time it seems like a really bad idea.
On the plus side, the default output from the stylesheet would
look more like this:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE></TITLE>
than this:
<HTML
><HEAD
><TITLE
></TITLE
On the minus side,
- Getting really reasonable line breaks all the time might require a
fair amount of work in make-entity
- It would have some performance implications
- Existing customization layers would still work, but would contain a
mixture of styles
- There might be implications that have never occurred to me
Anyone have any thoughts on the matter?
Cheers,
norm
