Re: DOCBOOK-APPS: creating "boxed" programlistings

[Dennis Grace <dgrace at us dot ibm dot com>]

Hi Lisa,

I use the following customization (I originally lifted this from Dan York's
customization). It creates a grey background box for programlistings in
HTML docs. If this isn't what you need, I thought it might provide a
starting framework.

 <!-- Custom 'programlisting' template that will generate a gray
      background to the item. -->
 <xsl:template match="programlisting|screen|synopsis">
   <xsl:param name="suppress-numbers" select="'0'"/>
   <xsl:variable name="vendor" select="system-property('xsl:vendor')"/>
   <xsl:variable name="id"><xsl:call-template
   name="object.id"/></xsl:variable>

   <xsl:if test="@id">
     <a href="{$id}"/>
   </xsl:if>

   <xsl:choose>
     <xsl:when test="$suppress-numbers = '0'
                     and @linenumbering = 'numbered'
                     and $use.extensions != '0'
                     and $linenumbering.extension != '0'">
       <xsl:variable name="rtf">
         <xsl:apply-templates/>
       </xsl:variable>
       <table border="0" bgcolor="#E0E0E0" width="90%">
       <tr><td>
       <pre class="{name(.)}">
         <xsl:call-template name="number.rtf.lines">
           <xsl:with-param name="rtf" select="$rtf"/>
         </xsl:call-template>
       </pre>
       </td></tr></table>
     </xsl:when>
     <xsl:otherwise>
       <table border="0" bgcolor="#E0E0E0" width="90%">
       <tr><td>
       <pre class="{name(.)}">
         <xsl:apply-templates/>
       </pre>
       </td></tr></table>
     </xsl:otherwise>
   </xsl:choose>
 </xsl:template>

Hi folks,

I'm currently using the docbook 1.50 stylesheets (had problems with later
versions, which I hope will be fixed in 1.54.1 - downloading it now!) and
the latest version of FOP. I'm hoping to get the code samples in my
programlistings to each display in a text box, and thought that I could
probably get the effect I want by putting them each in a single-cell table.
Has anyone else tried this successfully, and is there a more
straightforward
way of doing it?

cheers,

Lisa
