xhtml generation

[andreas]

Hi,

How can I generate xhtml instead of html? Or how can I override the
"type" that's used to pick the stylesheet?

Thanks,
Andreas

Hi Andreas,

The docbkx-maven-plugin has a specific goal for each targeted output
type. Unfortunately, xhtml is not among it yet. However, getting a
Maven plugin supporting docbkx:generate-xhtml is easy. You just have
add a few lines to the pom.xml file of the docbkx-maven-plugin module:

<execution>
<id>generate-xhtml</id>
<goals>
<goal>build</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<type>xhtml</type>

<superClassName>com.agilejava.docbkx.maven.AbstractHtmlMojo</
superClassName>
<excludedProperties>$
{excluded.properties},root.filename,base.dir</excludedProperties>
</configuration>
</execution>

I just gave it a try, and it seems to work just fine. There is no
reason why this should not be included in a next release. It would be
good if you would open up an issue for it though. ;-)

Hi Wilfred,

Thanks for the fast response and the fancy plugin generation
mechanism.

The xhtml generation works fine except for chunked output which
generates
plain html again. I'll take a look myself, but you can probably
explain this
behavior.

Thanks again,
Andreas

OK, this was easy to fix. To enable xhtml chunking, the
getNonDefaultStylesheetLocation method in AbstractHtmlMojo needs to
take the type into account:

protected String getNonDefaultStylesheetLocation() {
if (chunkedOutput) {
return "META-INF/docbkx/" + getType() + "/chunk.xsl";
} else {
return null;
}
}

Hello,

Thank you for the support, I have committed the modification, the
generate-xhtml goal will be available in next docbkx-tools release.
