[XSL-LIST Mailing List Archive Home] [By Thread] [By Date] [Recent Entries] [Reply To This Message] Changes in the October 18 Working Draft of the XSL specifica
 http://www.ibiblio.org/xml/books/bible/updates/15.html The changes in this draft were mostly fairly minor. In no particular order: The fo:simple-link element was renamed fo:basic-link, probably to avoid confusion with XLink simple links. Along the way it picked up three new properties used to control the appearance and behavior of the targeted document: target-presentation-context A URI that generally indicates some subset of the external destination that should actually be presented to the user. For instance, an XPointer could be used here to say that although an entire book is loaded only the seventh chapter would be shown. target-processing-context A URI that serves as a base URI in the event that the external destination contains a relative URI. Otherwise, that would be considered relative to the current document. (I'm not a 100% confident that I've interpreted this one correctly, but this seems the most natural interpretation.) target-stylesheet A URI that points to a style sheet that should be used when the targeted document is rendered. This will override any style sheet that the targeted document itself specifies, whether through an xml-stylesheet processing instruction, a LINK element in HTML, or an HTTP header. border-after-precedence, border-before-precedence, border-start-precedence, and border-end-precedence attributes were added to the table properties to specify what happens when, for example, one cell's bottom border conflicts with the next cell's top border. Finally, a font-selection-strategy property was added to the font properties. This property lets you specify whether surrounding characters are considered when a font is chosen that best matches the actual characters. This is a fairly obscure property that only really matters if you're using multiple scripts (e.g. English and Cyrillic) in the same document. I may or may not have found all the significant differences between the two drafts. I really wish W3C working groups would at least publish reasonable change logs with each new draft. -- +-----------------------+------------------------+-------------------+ | Elliotte Rusty Harold | elharo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx | Writer/Programmer | +-----------------------+------------------------+-------------------+ | The XML Bible (IDG Books, 1999) | | http://metalab.unc.edu/xml/books/bible/ | | http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ISBN=0764532367/cafeaulaitA/ | +----------------------------------+---------------------------------+ | Read Cafe au Lait for Java News: http://metalab.unc.edu/javafaq/ | | Read Cafe con Leche for XML News: http://metalab.unc.edu/xml/ | +----------------------------------+---------------------------------+ XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
