Removing number labels from tables, figures, and examples
I use formal tables, figures, and examples in PDF output,
but I’d like to strip out the numbers for tables, figures, and examples
in HTML output. I’ve tried doing that by following the instructions in DocBook
XSL: The Complete Guide:

 

http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/PrintTableStyles.html#TablesUnnumbered

 

Here’s what my customization looks like:

 

      <xsl:param name="local.l10n.xml" select="document('')"/>

      <l:i18n xmlns:l="http://docbook.sourceforge.net/xmlns/l10n/1.0">

        <l:l10n language="en">

          <l:context name="title">

                  <l:template name="table" text="%t" />

                  <l:template name="figure" text="%t" />

                  <l:template name="example" text="%t" />

          </l:context>  

          <l:context name="xref-number-and-title">

                  <l:template name="table" text="the table titled
&#8220;%t&#8221;" />

                  <l:template name="figure" text="the figure titled
&#8220;%t&#8221;" />

                  <l:template name="example" text="the example titled
&#8220;%t&#8221;" />

          </l:context>  

          <l:context name="xref">

                  <l:template name="page.citation" text=" on page&#160;%p" />

                  <l:template name="section" text="%t"/>

                  <l:template name="olink.document.citation" text=" in&#160;%o"/>

                  <l:template name="olink.page.citation" text=" on page&#160;%p" />

          </l:context>  

        </l:l10n>

      </l:i18n>

      <xsl:template match="table" mode="label.markup"/>

      <xsl:template match="figure" mode="label.markup"/>

      <xsl:template match="example" mode="label.markup"/>

 

Although the last three lines effectively remove the number
from the table, figure, and example titles, they don’t remove the word “Table”,
“Figure”, and “Example”. I’m still left with
titles like this:

 

Table . Sample table title

Figure . Sample figure title

Example . Sample figure title

 

Anyone know what I’m doing wrong? My customization
doesn’t appear to be stripping out the “Table %n.”, “Figure
%n.”, and “Example %n.”

 

BTW, I’m using DocBook 4.5 XSL 1.7.3.2 and Saxon 6.5.3
for my XSLT.

 

Regards,

Jeff
