Re: Problem generating slides (was Re: The slidesdoctype - XSL-FO output)


Answering my own questions...

> (and the copyright in the footnotes)

Putting the copyright in the footer was a simple matter of adding a
<copyright> section to the <slidesinfo> part at the beginning.

Creating sections as seen in the navigation bar of the frames view at:

  http://nwalsh.com/docs/tutorials/xsltuk2001/frames/

is done through using the <section> element.  As in:

   <section>
     <title>Background</title>
     <foil>
        <title>First slide</title>
	<para>
	</para>
     </foil>
     <foil>
     ...
     </foil>
  </section>

Getting the conference and other info on there is done in markup
through a <confgroup> element as seen in the example on (where the
<copyright> element is also visible):

  http://nwalsh.com/docs/tutorials/winwriters2001/docbook/foil12.html

BUT... (per Norm) the current public version of his Slides doctype
doesn't yet support the <confgroup> element... so it doesn't work
right now.  (And won't until either Norm can find the time to release
his next version or someone else hacks the XSL.)

That's the update... to me, this is *very* cool!
