Format support for cross-referencing, headers and footers

[Ahana]

Hello,

Do APT and XDoc both support cross-referencing, headers and footers? I need to build a book with these features.

Thanks,
A

Hi,

yes, via the doxia-sitetools. We used Velocity inside, so you could
always customized header/footer. Internal links are handle too.
[1] is a good sample to see your requirements live.
[2] is a book

Cheers,

Hi,

Is the latest Doxia snapshot build placed in a Maven repo anywhere or do I have to build it from svn?

Also, what's the best source of documentation / tutorials as I have a maven site and want to create a PDF book from parts of it (with cover page, toc, etc) and the docs I've seen so far aren't very comprehensive.

Many thanks,

Dave

Hi
Try the Maven snapshots repo at
http://people.apache.org/repo/m2-snapshot-repository/

There are some doxia snapshots in there. I haven't checked if these are
recent though.

Hi,

I can produce a PDF using Doxia from some source Apt files.  The PDF that is generated is very basic.  I want to apply some style to it - e.g. header, footer, cover page, index page and change the fonts and colors, etc.

Can anyone point me in the direction of a tutorial or documentation on how to do this?

Many thanks,

Dave

Hi all,

I'm following the syntax for Apt and am trying to use "^L" (without quotes) to create a page break.

In the generated html book, this is rendered as "^L" and it doesn't cause any page break at all in the generated PDF.

I've tried using Ctrl-L, i.e. single non-printable character but that doesn't appear to work either - doesn't help when Ctrl-L is "remove line" in Notepad++.

Any ideas?

Many thanks,

Dave

It works for me (again with doxia 1.1 but I think this should work with alpha as
well).

Note that the character you want is the form feed character '\f' in java. I
quickly checked with notepad++ (never used it) and didn't find an easy way to
insert control characters. But you can get a list of characters in the menu
'TextFX - TextFX Tools - Insert Ascii chart' and copy/paste the form feed char (a
big inverted 'FF'). Alternatively use another text editor...

HTH,
