Hi !

Ok, I have a simple solution :

In each template header and footer, I created variables

For book’s title :

<xsl:variable name="BookTitle">

<xsl:choose>

<xsl:when test="//book/title">

<xsl:value-of select="//book/title"/>

</xsl:when>

<xsl:otherwise>

</xsl:otherwise>

</xsl:choose>

</xsl:variable>

For Author :

<xsl:variable name="Author">

<xsl:choose>

<xsl:when test="//authorgroup/author[1]/firstname">

<xsl:value-of select="//authorgroup/author[1]/firstname"/>

</xsl:when>

<xsl:otherwise>

</xsl:otherwise>

</xsl:choose>

</xsl:variable>

For revision :

<xsl:variable name="RevInfo">

<xsl:choose>

<xsl:when test="//revhistory/revision[last()]/revnumber">

<xsl:text>Version </xsl:text>

<xsl:value-of select="//revhistory/revision[last()]/revnumber"/>

</xsl:when>

<xsl:otherwise>

</xsl:otherwise>

</xsl:choose>

</xsl:variable>

Then, I used these variables into <xsl:template name="footer.content"> or <xsl:template name="header.content">

<xsl:value-of select="$BookTitle"/>, etc.

Cordialement,

Hi !

Thank you for this tip but I find it with no elegance and simplicity.

Cordialement,

You may find the code below helpful.

The mistakes I made in getting this to work was:

- not setting the namespace correctly

- not setting up default handling for the book meta data

Damon

<!--********

document meta data element handling

With the way docbook is structured, default handling for all book meta data is explicitly switched off,

this is to stop accidental processing. It is switched on for <date> because that element is used across the

document. However (say) <legalnotice> is not handled. The solution is to created a new mode for the titlepage

template, then apply the usual processing. If this is not here, compile errors and generated. If you use

xsl-value, then you only get the text appearing, and not the processing of the embedded trademark element

within legalnotice. Hence this needs to be here.

********-->

<xsl:template match="/d:book/d:info/d:legalnotice" mode="book.titlepage.footer">

<xsl:apply-templates />

</xsl:template>

<!--********

footer content

********-->

<xsl:template name="footer.content">

<xsl:param name="pageclass" select="''"/>

<xsl:param name="sequence" select="''"/>

<xsl:param name="position" select="''"/>

<xsl:param name="gentext-key" select="''"/>

<fo:block>

<xsl:if test="not ($pageclass = 'coversequence' and $sequence = 'first')">

<xsl:choose>

<xsl:when test="$position = 'left'">

<xsl:apply-templates select="/d:book/d:info/d:date"/>

<fo:block/>

<xsl:text>v: </xsl:text>

<xsl:apply-templates select="/d:book/d:info/d:revhistory/d:revision[last()]/d:revnumber"/>

</xsl:when>

<xsl:when test="$position = 'center'">

<xsl:apply-templates select="/d:book/d:info/d:legalnotice" mode="book.titlepage.footer"/>

<fo:block/>

<xsl:apply-templates select="/d:book/d:info/d:copyright" mode="titlepage.mode"/>

</xsl:when>

<xsl:when test="$position = 'right'">

<xsl:text>Page: </xsl:text>

<fo:page-number/>

</xsl:when>

</xsl:choose>

</xsl:if>

</fo:block>

</xsl:template>

Hi,

I would like to produce a PDF file with docbook-xsl fo stylesheets with authorname in header or footer. All examples I find on the web don’t work.

And the same question with the book’s title.

Cordialement,
