Table numbering with docbook 1.74.3 on PDF and HTML report.

Hi,

I am using docbook version 1.74.3.

Currently I am getting table number on my HTML/PDF report as (ChapterNumber).1, (ChapterNumber).2, (ChapterNumber).3 ... and so on

For example: I have "Chapter 2" and under it I have section number 2.3.2. Following is how table numbers are listed curently on my HTML report (table 2.1, table 2.3 and table 2.3).

Chapter 2

2.3.2 Report Trees

Table 2.1 Dec1Tree

Data Type	Length
Numeric	3

Table 2.2 Dec2Tree

Data Type	Length
Numeric	3

Table 2.3 Dec3Tree

Data Type

Length

Numeric

3

I want the table numbers starting with the section number above it instead on starting with the Chapter number above it.

For example: I want the Table number as (Table 2.3.2.1, Table 2.3.2.2 and Table 2.3.2.3) shown below.

Chapter 2

2.3.2 Report Trees

Table 2.3.2.1 Dec1Tree

Data Type

Length

Numeric

3

Table 2.3.2.2 Dec2Tree

Data Type

Length

Numeric

3

Table 2.3.2.3 Dec3Tree

Data Type

Length

Numeric

3

How can I achieve it?

Thanks,

BRAMANI.

Hi,

The number labels are generated by applying templates to the table element in mode="label.markup". The default template is in common/labels.xsl and works for table, figure, and example:

<xsl:template match="figure|table|example" mode="label.markup">
<xsl:variable name="pchap"
                select="ancestor::chapter
                        |ancestor::appendix
                        |ancestor::article[ancestor::book]"/>

<xsl:variable name="prefix">
    <xsl:if test="count($pchap) > 0">
      <xsl:apply-templates select="$pchap" mode="label.markup"/>
    </xsl:if>
</xsl:variable>

<xsl:choose>
    <xsl:when test="@label">
      <xsl:value-of select="@label"/>
    </xsl:when>
    <xsl:otherwise>
      <xsl:choose>
        <xsl:when test="$prefix != ''">
            <xsl:apply-templates select="$pchap" mode="label.markup"/>
            <xsl:apply-templates select="$pchap" mode="intralabel.punctuation"/>
          <xsl:number format="1" from="chapter|appendix" level="any"/>
        </xsl:when>
        <xsl:otherwise>
          <xsl:number format="1" from="book|article" level="any"/>
        </xsl:otherwise>
      </xsl:choose>
    </xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>

You can copy this to your customization layer and change it to match="table" to only affect tables. Then a couple more changes are needed.

The variable "pchap" is the ancestor element whose number label becomes the prefix for the table number. Change the variable pchap selection to "ancestor::section". And then change the first xsl:number so the "from" attribute is "section" instead of "chapter|appendix", so that the table numbering restarts in each section. That should do it.

You might need to make further improvements to handle the case of a table contained in a chapter before the first section, though.

One correction. In the "pchap" selection, that should be select="ancestor::section[1]" to select only the closest ancestor section.
