A proposal for glossary stylesheet processing

[reinierk]

Below are some extensions I made to the glossary processing to get better and nicer layout for glossary entries

Code: Select all

<!-- Glossary group headings -->

    <xsl:template

        match="ot-placeholder:glossarylist//*[contains(@class, ' glossgroup/glossgroup ')]">

       <!-- <fo:block xsl:use-attribute-sets="__glossary__group-head">

            <xsl:call-template name="commonattributes"/>-->

            <xsl:apply-templates select="*[contains(@class,' topic/title ')]"/>

      <!--  </fo:block>-->

    </xsl:template>

    

    <!-- Normal Glossary entry -->

    <xsl:template

        match="ot-placeholder:glossarylist//*[contains(@class, ' glossentry/glossentry ')]">

        <fo:block>

            <xsl:call-template name="commonattributes"/>

            <fo:block>

                <xsl:attribute name="id">

                    <xsl:call-template name="generate-toc-id"/>

                </xsl:attribute>

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

                    <xsl:apply-templates

                        select="*[contains(@class, ' glossentry/glossterm ')]/node()"/>

                    <xsl:if

                        test="count(descendant-or-self::*[contains(@class, ' glossentry/glossAcronym ')]) gt 0">

                        <xsl:text> (</xsl:text>

                        <xsl:apply-templates 

                            select="descendant-or-self::*[contains(@class, ' glossentry/glossAcronym ')][1]"/>

    </xsl:template>



    <xsl:template match="*[contains(@class, ' glossentry/glossAbbreviation ')]">

    </xsl:template>



    <xsl:template match="*[contains(@class, ' glossentry/glossAcronym ')]">

        <xsl:apply-templates/>

    </xsl:template>

These output stuff like:
Intel 64 (x86-64)
A 64-bit extension of IA-32, the 32-bit generation of the x86 instruction set. It supports vastly larger amounts of virtual memory and physical memory than is possible on IA-32, allowing programs to store larger amounts of data in memory. x86-64 also provides 64-bit general purpose registers and numerous other enhancements. The original specification was created by AMD, and has been implemented by AMD, Intel, VIA, and others. It is fully backwards compatible with 16-bit and 32-bit x86 code.
Synonyms: Intel 64
Acronyms: x86-64, x64, EM64T

Thanks a lot for sharing this!
I am supposed to include synonyms in glossaries, so this could be very helpful.

Forgot to include glossary-attrs.xsl:

Code: Select all

        <xsl:attribute name="font-size">20pt</xsl:attribute>

        <xsl:attribute name="font-weight">bold</xsl:attribute>

    </xsl:attribute-set>

    

    <xsl:attribute-set name="__glossary__group-head">

Hi Reinier,

If you want these changes to be included in future DITA OT distributions, maybe you should add an issue at:
