Re: DOCBOOK-APPS: Example and other formal numbers in XSL-FO

[Norman Walsh <ndw at nwalsh dot com>]

Both of these bugs, the failure to produce the right gentext in the
formal object title and the xref problem have been fixed in CVS.

/ Elliotte Rusty Harold <elharo@metalab.unc.edu> was heard to say:
| The HTML stylesheets provide captions for figures, formal examples,
| and such that look like this:
| 
| Example 1.2. An XML document indicating an order for 12 Birdsong Clocks
| 
| "Example 1.2." is calculated automatically by the stylesheet.
| 
| However, the XSL-FO stylesheets do not provide the example and number;
| that is they label the same formal example as:
| 
|   An XML document indicating an order for 12 Birdsong Clocks
| 
| I suspect this should be classified as a bug, especially since the
| xrefs in the XSL-FO do use the numbers. I'm trying to track this one
| down, but I'm getting lost in the interlinked templates.
| 
| On a related note, I think that xrefs to figures and formal examples
| should not use the full title, just the number. For example, currently
| I get:
| 
| For instance, Example 1.2. An XML document indicating an order for 12
| Birdsong Clocks places the Order element and all its descendants in
| the http://ns.cafeconleche.org/Orders/ namespace, event though none of
| them have prefixes.
| 
| However, what I want is
| 
| For instance, Example 1.2 places the Order element and all its
| descendants in the http://ns.cafeconleche.org/Orders/ namespace, event
| though none of them have prefixes.
