Re: [docbook-apps] Custom colors for admonitions

Brett,

The simple answer is to add 

 <xsl:attribute name="border">1pt solid 
blue</xsl:attribute>
or a variation of it.

 

However, I have found that you will need to also deal with the title box as 
well or it will look a bit weird. So below you will see my admonition section 
that you should be able to modify to suit your needs.

 

Regards

Dean Nelson

Hi,

I'd like to give each admonition a border of its own 
  color. I found a
question where using a "choose" block was suggested when 
  customizing
the attribute-set for "graphical.admonition.properties". I've 
  tried
that, and while I can change the attributes in the attribute-set, 
  my
tests in the "choose" block never match any admonitions. They all 
  get
the value given in the "otherwise" block. Is there something I 
  should
be using instead of test="self::d:warning", or have I screwed 
  up
somewhere else?

I'm using DocBook 5.0, libxslt-1.1.26.win32, 
  fop-1.1 on Windows Vista
64 bit Ultimate.

Here's 
  testbook.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" 
  encoding="UTF-8"?>
<article xmlns="http://docbook.org/ns/docbook" 
  version="5.0">
    <title>A Small 
  Example</title>

    <section>
    
      <para>If everything goes as planned, the warning below 
  will
have a red line above and below it, and the note will have blue 
  lines.
If not, they'll both have black lines.</para>

  
        <warning>
          
    <para>This is a warning!</para>
      
    </warning>

        
  <note>
            <para>This is 
  just a note.</para>
        
  </note>

        <para>Ok, black lines 
  it is.</para>
    
  </section>
</article>

Here's 
  testStylesheet.xsl:

<?xml version="1.0" 
  encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet 
  xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format"
xmlns:d="http://docbook/org/ns/docbook" 
  version="1.0">
    <xsl:import 
  href=""/>

  
    <xsl:param name="paper.type">A4</xsl:param>

  
    <!-- customise admonitions -->
    <xsl:param 
  name="admon.graphics" select="1"/>
    <xsl:param 
  name="admon.graphics.path">images/</xsl:param>
    
  <xsl:param 
  name="admon.graphics.extension">.png</xsl:param>

    
  <xsl:attribute-set name="graphical.admonition.properties">
  
        <xsl:attribute name="border-color">
  
            <xsl:choose>
      
            <xsl:when 
  test="self::d:warning">red</xsl:when>
        
          <xsl:when 
  test="self::d:note">blue</xsl:when>
        
          
  <xsl:otherwise>black</xsl:otherwise>
      
        </xsl:choose>
        
  </xsl:attribute>
        <xsl:attribute 
  name="border-top">1pt solid</xsl:attribute>
      
    <xsl:attribute name="border-bottom">1pt 
  solid</xsl:attribute>
    
  </xsl:attribute-set>
</xsl:stylesheet>

I'm currently 
  writing in Notepad++ and building using a .bat 
  file:

D:\sdk\docbook\libxslt-1.1.26.win32\bin\xsltproc.exe 
  --output
testbook.fo testStylesheet.xsl 
  testbook.xml

D:\sdk\docbook\fop-1.1\fop.bat -fo testbook.fo -pdf 
  testbook.pdf

I'm new to DocBook, so I'm probably making a stupid 
  mistake somewhere.
Any help would be much 
  appreciated.

Thanks,
Brett
