How to get two booktitlealt on two different lines in PDF output

[Sangeeta]

Hi,

I am working on a plugin with customized PDf styles. We have two booktitlealt in our DITAMap. In the PDF output, I want these booktitlealt on two different rows. However, in my output they are in one line without any space between them. Can you please help?

Hi Sangeeta,

I could not reproduce the issue you reported.
A DITA code such as:

Code: Select all

...

<booktitle>

    <mainbooktitle>Main Book Title</mainbooktitle>

    <booktitlealt>Alt Title 1</booktitlealt>

    <booktitlealt>Alt Title 2</booktitlealt>

</booktitle>

...

transformed with the default DITA Map PDF transformation scenario produced a PDF output that looks like this:
files/AltTitle.jpg

This means that most likely the problem originates somewhere in your customization.

Hi Radu,

Can you please point me to the probable tags/elements where I should check in my customization? I have no clue what could have gone wrong
The code i sent you is only piece i customized for titles.

Best regards,
Sangeeta

Hi,

Maybe if the DITA Map contains multiple booktitlealt's your XSLT customization instead of doing this:

Code: Select all

        <fo:block xsl:use-attribute-sets="__frontmatter__subtitle">

            <xsl:apply-templates select="$map//*[contains(@class,' bookmap/booktitlealt ')]"/>

        </fo:block>

you could add a fo:block for each booktitlealt:

Code: Select all

        <xsl:for-each select="$map//*[contains(@class,' bookmap/booktitlealt ')]">

            <fo:block xsl:use-attribute-sets="__frontmatter__subtitle">

                <xsl:apply-templates select="."/>

            </fo:block>

        </xsl:for-each>

although in the base PDF plugin "front-matter.xsl" there should already be a template which matches the booktitlealt and creates a fo:block:

Code: Select all

    <xsl:template match="*[contains(@class, ' bookmap/booktitlealt ')]" priority="2">

        <fo:block xsl:use-attribute-sets="__frontmatter__subtitle">

            <xsl:apply-templates/>

        </fo:block>

    </xsl:template>

Hi Radu,

Thank you so so much! Worked like magic ...
SO in the template with "select", we are reapplying the subtitle style to booktitlealt elements?
