Hello All,
trying to improve at least my own website xsl stylesheets and am looking
at a menu that suits my tastes a liitle bit more.
a) A way to show only menu items that have the same toc levels as the
current page and showing menu items that are descendants of the current
page. (div class="curpage"> or maybe even only curpage and descendants?
http://www.dpawson.co.uk/xsl/sect2/sect21.html has parents; its siblings;
and siblings of
the current node, as well as a toc element used for this nodes children.
b) a you are here link which can take you quickly up the hierarchy.
top left, the pig image.
/you/are/here where 'you', 'are' have links up the structure upto the
home page. I think this would be necessary if you use a)
See above. Home is the default text.
c) a different way of the div's around menu items are generated. around
menu items to enhance the formatting capabilities with css.
I can't help you here.
The questions:
1) have seen a 'use.toc.expand.depth' and 'toc.expand.depth' which seem
not to be used. Anyone can enlighten me on the possible use of these values?
I tried it, and found a little success, but its only for relatively small
indexes IMO
2) Has anyone implemented either the div/CSS bit under c) or the menu
display under a)
Not really. I've only decorated output with css.
2a) Anyone willing to share pointers/code?
If I can.
3) how would one go about making my menu requirement an enhancment of
the website dtd/xsl? So one could add parameters to config or param.xsl.
Same approach as with docbook;
Own customisation, then call up the default website stylesheets.
3a) That is if people think it would be an enhancement.
I have hacked my webiste xsl in a horrible way and keep doing it 'my
way', otherwise I can try and write it in 'our way' .
It becomes pretty clear that above makes sense is when you go to
http://family.kuilder.net/familyarchive/kuilder/lubbert/familie/jan/baby/index.html
What do you think is missing from the html on this site?
