RE: [docbook-apps] body.attributes

["Bob Stayton" <bobs at sagehill dot net>]

Hi Jeff,
I just wanted to let you know that I tried this example from about a month
ago
because I was going to cover body.attributes in my DocBook XSL book, but
I got some pretty crazy results.

When I used xsl:apply-imports in the customization layer, xsltproc went into
a
loop and started spewing all kinds of noise.  I tried it with an XSLT
debugger, and I found that apply-imports does not work with
named templates.  That is, it doesn't call the named template
body.attributes from
the original stylesheet.  Instead, it takes the current node and *applies*
templates that match from the original stylesheet.  At that point, the
context node
was still the document root node, so it started to process
<xsl:template match="*" mode="process.root"> again, basically starting
over again. This is why it went into the loop.

So I think to modify the body attributes, you have to replace the
body.attributes
template completely in the customization layer.  I don't think there is a
way to
call a named template from the imported stylesheet.
