docbook: Thread: Adding headers to html output

Hi all,

I'm currently working on a project that requires a company logo at the
top of the HOWTO I've written.  

I mostly use DocBook XML (but don't mind working in sgml) and process
with jade/openjade using the ldp.dsl.  For some reason, when I use the
docbook.dsl for html output, it doesn't create files, just prints to the
screen, which is a problem I think I have to conquer before I will have
any success with this task.

Besides having a logo in the header (instead of just the title), I want
the html to show the graphics for next/previous/home/up.  I think the
logo is done in dbchunk.dsl, and navigation in dbnavig.dsl, but given
all the problems I have using docbook.dsl, I'm not sure what to do to
accomplish this.  

When I process sgml or xml, I type:
openjade -t xml(/sgml) -d
/usr/share/sgml/docbook/dsssl-stylesheets/html/ldp.dsl#html
/usr/share/sgml/xml.dcl

I only use the last path when I'm processing XML.  And instead of using
ldp.dsl, I want to use the docbook.dsl, but again, it's not creating
files, and I'm not sure why!  Is there something glaringly obvious that
I'm missing?  And what all would it take to insert a header graphic into
each html page for the logo?

Thanks in advance for any clarity you can provide!

My ridiculous question. I've found that when I have errors in my
install/markup that openjade spits out the xml/sgml to stdout after the
errors. Do you have errors before the document on stdout?

Just checking,
Jim

Full of silly ones tonight. Can you tell I'm procrastinating on studying
for a final?

Openjade -o <oputput file>

Might that help?

Funny you should say that, Jim.  I didn't check the doc for errors
before converting it.  And I didn't know that was the usual behavior
when there were errors (which there are plenty, since it's so far a
first draft).

Thanks for that tip!

You're funny..!

I'll try correcting the errors first, and then if it still won't give me
any files using the docbook.dsl, I'll try your idea with the -o option..

Why is it that when I use the ldp.dsl I don't have the same problem -
does it not care?  

Now get back to studying!  :P

PS - Yes, this info helped a LOT!

As it turns out, I made the corrections to the document, and everything
came out fine.

One interesting thing I noticed was that the TOC is all picky in
DocBook.  It was a real nuisance, but I got through it eventually.

Still don't know how to get the logo in the header.  I went through CVS
at LDP and viewed the Author's Guide docs.  In the main xml file I saw
an entity included for a header.sgml, but couldn't find that file in the
tree.  Still curious on that one.  Still can't make the navigation
graphics work either!

Er, I meant to say with the docbook.dsl instead of the ldp.dsl up
there!  ;>

For dssl look for the main parameters in dbparam.dsl and for xsl
param.xsl

(define use-output-dir
  ;; REFENTRY use-output-dir
  ;; PURP If an output-dir is specified, should it be used?
  ;; DESC
  ;; If true, chunks will be written to the 'output-dir' instead of
  ;; the current directory.
  ;; (This option can conveniently be set with '-V use-output-dir' on
  ;; the 
  ;; Jade command line).
  ;; /DESC
  ;; AUTHOR N/A
  ;; /REFENTRY
  #t)

(define %output-dir%
  ;; REFENTRY output-dir
  ;; PURP The directory to which HTML files should be written
  ;; DESC
  ;; The output directory can be set in two ways. An individual document
  ;; can specify 'output-dir="directory"' in the dbhtml PI, or the
  ;;stylesheet
  ;; can specify the '%output-dir%'. If both are specified, the PI value
  ;; will be used.
  ;;
  ;; Note: the output directory is ignored if 'use-output-dir' is not
  ;; '#t'.
  ;; (This allows the author to test stylesheets and documents without
  ;; accidentally overwriting existing documents.)

You need to use the <bookinfo> ( substititue for your case ie article
info) having the <mediaobject> tag including your logo

Thank you!  It worked!  I converted the doc to XML, does that work in
DocBook sgml too?

Another couple of questions!

Now that I have the header graphic displaying on the title page of the
html output, how can I get it to appear as a header on all the html
pages?  Also, any thoughts on how to get the navigation graphics
working, would that go into the bookinfo section as well?

Thanks again!
Tabatha
