Re: [docbook-apps] Creating "animations" figure subclass

[Aidan Lister <aidanis at gmail dot com>]

Hi List,

Where can I change the behaviour of the counter for my animations subclass?

For example, if I have <figure> ... </figure> it will be numerated
"1". If I then have <figure role="animation"> .. </figure> it will be
numerated "2", though I'd like to make it "1". I suppose I could use
the label attribute, but this is less desirable.

In xhtml/formal.xsl I see:
<xsl:template name="formal.object.heading">
...
<xsl:apply-templates select="$object" mode="object.title.markup">

The title ("Figure 1. Some figure") is retrieved there, following
further I find:

<xsl:when test="$candidate = 'n'"> in gentext.xsl.

This then calls

 <xsl:apply-templates select="." mode="insert.label.markup">

However that's where I lose it, as this template is only defined in
xref.xsl and has nothing to do with incrementing a variable (or
calling position())

Any help appreciated.

Regards,
Aidan
