GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 86081
The stylesheets do not support appendices.
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
Description: When Yelp loads a DocBook document with an appendix the document initially loads fine. When you click on the appendix from the TOC, the stylesheets load the entire document with no chunking. Each section of the document only has a footer with no header. This condition of the document continues and you need to reload the document in Yelp. Expected Results: When Yelp loads a DocBook document and you click on the appendix in the TOC, the document should only show the appendix with correct headers and footers.
How common are appendices?
It is not a question whether appendices are very common, but what we want out help system to support. If we only want small application or widget specific docs then there is no need for appendices. If, on the other hand, we want to support books and large manuals appendix support is needed.
There are no documents in gnome 2.0 that have appendices, but, just as Eric says, it is definately something we want to support.
Well, no, it /is/ a question. Yes, we want it to work, but given finite resources, we have to pick and choose- and we're definitely not (effectively) adding new features right now if this doesn't break things we're currently doing.
Marking enhancement after talking a bit with Eric.
erm... "no, its not an enhancement" 8-)
'Hrm, it's a feature we don't have and don't attempt to use.' That pretty much defines an enhancement. It may be a high priority enhancement for you but it is still an enhancement. Whatever... if you don't want your bugzilla organized and searchable go ahead.
The GDP Handbook is actively using an appendix. It is a feature we want people to use where appropriate. With the inclusion of the book support I expect it to be a feature which will be used more often.
MrProject's docs also use an appendix.
Attaching a fix. This patch also incorporates my fix for 100497.
Created attachment 15429 [details] [review] Patch to add support for appendix and section
Applied to HEAD, thanks.
