Slides, multiple presentations

Mauritz Jeanson



> I'm using the Slides XSL sheets to make multiple presentations and 
> processing them in a batch (using the XSLT Ant task).  
> I am using the base.dir attribute to specify the output directory, 
> and am trying to use the following:

> <slides><?dbhtml dir="Prez1" ?>

> in each document to put the output for each presentation
> in a different sub-directory.  Otherwise, the files from different
> presentations 
> (like "foil01.html") overwrite each other.

> It looks like the slides XSL files don't support this PI (processing instruction)

> Any suggestions?

Here is my hack to get it working... (slides-common.xsl):

1. Changed mode="filename" to mode="chunk-filename" in two places

<xsl:template match="foil">
  <xsl:param name="thisfoil">
     <xsl:apply-templates select="." mode="chunk-filename"/>  <!-- MJ: changed -->
 </xsl:param>



<xsl:template match="foilgroup">
  <xsl:param name="thisfoilgroup">
    <xsl:apply-templates select="." mode="chunk-filename"/> <!-- MJ: changed -->
  </xsl:param>

2. Added <xsl:value-of select="$dir"/> for foil and foilgroup

<xsl:when test="name(.)='foil'">
      <xsl:variable name="foilnumber">
 <xsl:number count="foil" level="any"/>
      </xsl:variable>  

      <xsl:value-of select="$dir"/>  <!-- MJ: added -->
      <xsl:text>foil</xsl:text>
      <xsl:number value="$foilnumber" format="01"/>
      <xsl:value-of select="$html.ext"/>
    </xsl:when>



<xsl:when test="name(.)='foilgroup'">
      <xsl:variable name="foilgroupnumber">
        <xsl:number count="foilgroup" level="any" format="01"/>
      </xsl:variable>

      <xsl:value-of select="$dir"/>  <!-- MJ: added -->
      <xsl:text>foilgroup</xsl:text>
      <xsl:number value="$foilgroupnumber" format="01"/>
      <xsl:value-of select="$html.ext"/>
    </xsl:when>

3. Added $dir for toc and titlefoil

<xsl:template match="slides" mode="toc">
  <xsl:variable name="id">
    <xsl:call-template name="object.id"/>
  </xsl:variable>

  <xsl:variable name="home" select="/slides"/>
  <xsl:variable name="up" select="/slides"/>
  <xsl:variable name="next" select="(foil|foilgroup)[1]"/>
  <xsl:variable name="tocfile" select="''"/>

  <xsl:variable name="dir"> <!-- MJ: added -->
    <xsl:call-template name="dbhtml-dir"/>
  </xsl:variable>

  <xsl:call-template name="write.chunk">
    <xsl:with-param name="indent" select="$output.indent"/>
    <xsl:with-param name="filename" 
           select="concat($base.dir, $dir, $toc.html)"/> <!-- MJ: added $dir -->
    <xsl:with-param name="content">



<xsl:template match="slidesinfo">
  <xsl:variable name="id">
    <xsl:call-template name="object.id"/>
  </xsl:variable>

  <xsl:variable name="next" select="(/slides/foil|/slides/foilgroup)[1]"/>
  <xsl:variable name="tocfile" select="$toc.html"/>

  <xsl:variable name="dir"> <!-- MJ: added -->
    <xsl:call-template name="dbhtml-dir"/>
  </xsl:variable>

  <xsl:call-template name="write.chunk">
    <xsl:with-param name="indent" select="$output.indent"/>
    <xsl:with-param name="filename" 
         select="concat($base.dir, $dir, $titlefoil.html)"/> <!-- MJ: added $dir-->
    <xsl:with-param name="content">
