DBLists.xsl — Turns simple inline lists into punctuated lists and adds a final “and” or “or” in the appropriate language.
None.
A DocBook document containing simplelist type='inline' elements.
A DocBook document, identical to the input except that any simplelist type='inline' elements are replaced with punctuated inline lists with a final “and” or “or” in the appropriate language.
The stylesheet recurses through the document and copies each element. For each simplelist type='inline' element, the members of the list are output as a comma separated inline list.
If the role attribute of the simplelist is set to and, the conjunction “and” is added before the final member of the list in the language specified by the nearest ancestor xml:lang attribute. Likewise, if the role attribute of the simplelist is set to or, the conjunction “or” is added before the final member of the list in the language specified by the nearest ancestor xml:lang attribute.
This stylesheet has similar functionality to the way simplelist type='inline' elements are processed by the DocBook XSL stylesheets. The differences are:
The final conjunction is specified via the role attribute.
For languages which require it, the final conjunction is output within a wrapper element with the ling:type='depend' attribute. This enables you to use the LingDepend.xsl stylesheet on the output file to select the correct form of the final conjunction, depending on the phonetic environment.
For example, in Spanish, if the role attribute is set to and, the LingDepend.xsl stylesheet will change the final conjunction to e if the following word begins with an “i” sound, or y otherwise. (There must be wrapper elements, e.g. phrase, around each term in the list, using the ling:pron attribute to indicate the initial sound of each term.)
The final conjunctions are specified in the DataLabels.xml file. The supported languages are German, English, Spanish, Finnish, French, Italian, Norwegian Bokmål, Dutch, Portuguese,
Swedish and Simplified Chinese.
