Template Stylesheet Reference
Introduction
This is technical reference documentation for the DocBook XSL
Stylesheets; it documents (some of) the parameters, templates, and
other elements of the stylesheets.
This is not intended to be user
documentation.
It is provided for developers writing customization layers for the
stylesheets, and for anyone who's interested in how it
works
.
Although I am trying to be thorough, this documentation is known
to be incomplete. Don't forget to read the source, too :-)
Construct a stylesheet for the templates provided
The t:templates element is the root of a
set of templates. This template creates an appropriate
xsl:stylesheet for the templates.
If the t:templates element has a
base-stylesheet attribute, an
xsl:import statement is constructed for it.
1.0
This stylesheet was created by
template/titlepage.xsl;
do not edit it by hand.
Copy xsl: elements straight through
This template simply copies the xsl: elements
straight through into the result tree.
Create the templates necessary to construct a title page
The t:titlepage element creates a set of
templates for processing the titlepage for an element. The
root
of this template set is the template named
wrapper.titlepage
. That is the
template that should be called to generate the title page.
The t:titlepage element has three attributes:
element
The name of the source document element for which
these templates apply. In other words, to make a title page for the
article element, set the
element attribute to
article
. This attribute is required.
wrapper
The entire title page can be wrapped with an element.
This attribute identifies that element.
class
If the class attribute
is set, a class attribute with this
value will be added to the wrapper element that surrounds the entire
title page.
Any other attributes are copied through literally to the
wrapper element.
The content of a t:titlepage is one or
more t:titlepage-content,
t:titlepage-separator, and
t:titlepage-before elements.
Each of these elements may be provided for the recto
and verso
sides of the title page.

Copy t:titlepage attributes
This template copies all of the other
attributes
from a t:titlepage element onto the specified
wrapper.
Create templates for the content of one side of a title page
The title page content, that is, the elements from the source
document that are rendered on the title page, can be controlled independently
for the recto and verso sides of the title page.
The t:titlepage-content element has two attributes:
side
Identifies the side of the page to which this title
page content applies. The
side attribute is required and
must be set to either
recto
or
verso
. In addition, you must specify
exactly one t:titlepage-content for each side
within each t:titlepage.
order
Indicates how the order of the elements presented on
the title page is determined. If the
order is
document
, the elements are presented
in document order. Otherwise (if the
order is
stylesheet
), the elements are presented
in the order that they appear in the template (and consequently in
the stylesheet).
The content of a t:titlepage-content element is
a list of element names. These names should be unqualified. They identify
the elements in the source document that should appear on the title page.
Each element may have a single attribute:
predicate. The value of this
attribute is used as a predicate for the expression that matches
the element on which it occurs.
In other words, to put only the first three authors on the
recto-side of a title
page, you could specify:
]]>
Usually, the elements so named are empty. But it is possible to
make one level of selection within them. Suppose that you want to
process authorgroup elements on the title page, but
you want to select only proper authors, editors, or corporate authors,
not collaborators or other credited authors.
In that case, you can put a t:or group inside
the authorgroup element:
]]>
This will have the effect of automatically generating a template
for processing authorgroups in the title page mode,
selecting only the specified children. If you need more complex processing,
you'll have to construct the templates by hand.
Illegal value specified for @side
on t:titlepage-content:
The @side attribute is required on
t:titlepage-content.
.titlepage.
.auto.mode
.titlepage.
Create templates for the separator
The title page is separated from the content which follows it by
the markup specified in the t:titlepage-separator
element.
.titlepage.separator
Create templates for what precedes a title page
Each side of the title page is preceded by the markup specified
in the t:titlepage-before element for that
side.
.titlepage.before.
Copy elements
This template simply copies the elements that it applies to
straight through into the result tree.
Copy attributes
This template simply copies the attributes that it applies to
straight through into the result tree.
Create rules to process titlepage elements in document order
This template is called to process all of the children of the
t:titlepage-content element. It creates the hairy
select expression necessary to process each of those elements in
the title page.
Note that this template automatically handles the case where
some DocBook elements, like title and subtitle, can occur both inside
the *info elements where metadata is usually stored and outside.
It also automatically calculates the name for the *info container
and handles elements that have historically had containers with different
names.

Create rules to process titlepage elements in stylesheet order
This template is called to process all of the children of the
t:titlepage-content element. It creates the set
of xsl:apply-templates elements necessary
process each of those elements in the title page.
Note that this template automatically handles the case where
some DocBook elements, like title and subtitle, can occur both inside
the *info elements where metadata is usually stored and outside.
It also automatically calculates the name for the *info container
and handles elements that have historically had containers with different
names.

Create templates for special rules
This template is called to process all of the descendants of the
t:titlepage-content element that require special
processing. At present, that's just t:or elements.

.auto.mode
Create template for individual special rules
This template is called to process the children of special
template elements.

.auto.mode
Process the t:or special rule
This template processes t:or.
recto
.titlepage.
.auto.mode
Process the t:or special rule in
titlepage.subrules mode
The titlepage.subrules mode doesn't apply to t:or, so just
reprocess this node in the normal mode.
Construct the "or-list" used in the select attribute for
special rules.
Walk through each of the children of t:or, producing the
text of the select attribute.
