Default profile for a book

[odinodin]

Is there a way to define a default profile for a given Docbook book? I.e if you want you can override it in the transformation scenario by setting profile.audience=something but if you do not define profile.audience then a default value (defined in the XML) is used.

Hi,

The XSLT stylesheets used by Oxygen by default to convert Docbook content to various output formats are located in:

OXYGEN_INSTALL_DIR/frameworks/docbook/xsl

If you search in all of them using Oxygen's Find/Replace in Files for this parameter:

Code: Select all

<xsl:param name="profile.audience"/>

it can probably be altered to set a default value to it:

Code: Select all

<xsl:param name="profile.audience" select="'novice'"/>

We have a presentation about creating a Docbook customization layer which can be used to overwrite XSLT:

You could also register on the Docbook Apps Users list and ask for second opinions:
