Incompatibility between sorted glossary and fo:list?

[29terms]

Hello team,

I have a glossary in the form of a bookmap, containing a glossarylist with many topicrefs towards the different terms (one DITA file and glossentry per term). The objective is to produce an XSL-FO list (fo:list-block), containing the terms sorted alphabetically by glossterm, in a PDF output.

> FO list

The following code partially produces the desired result, an XSL-FO list, but does not sort the terms alphabetically. If I replace

Code: Select all

"ot-placeholder:glossarylist" mode="glossary"

with

Code: Select all

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

the same result is produced.

> Alphabetically sorted glossary

However, if I simply remove

Code: Select all

mode="glossary"

the code also partially produces the desired result, a glossary with all terms sorted alphabetically by glossterm, but does not produce an XSL-FO list. I also no longer have any images in the PDF output.

Any ideas as to how to resolve this issue?!

Code: Select all

  <xsl:template match="ot-placeholder:glossarylist" mode="glossary">

    <fo:page-sequence master-reference="glossary-sequence" xsl:use-attribute-sets="__force__page__count" initial-page-number="1">

Hi,

You can find a similar discussion here: topic11283.html

Have you tried the sorting mechanism proposed by Eliot Kimber?

However, it's recommend to address questions like these to the DITA-OT users group.
