As I announced earlier, I have installed an early release of SuSE 9.3 on
several of my systems here. Included in that release is Docbook XSL
1.68. This version of the XSL "deprecates" use of a feature that I
have
been using to provide shading of examples and quotes within the
documents ("deprecates" is in quotes because that is the word in the
warning message produced by xsltproc; the feature is actually
deimplemented).
So this means that the html documentation that I released with 2.3 does
not have any background shading in the examples etc.; the same holds for
those web pages that I have published since I installed 9.3.
The recommended workaround for the deprecated feature is to use CSS.
I''ve hacked the .css file included with Docbook XSL until I think that
it looks ok (it''s named ''html.css'' and is included in
the documentation
tarballs). Be warned though that I am partially color-blind so what
looks good to me may make you dizzy.
I have re-released the XML and HTML documentation with the .css
included. If you find the new colors objectionable, please hack up the
.css and send it back to me; if I get multiple submissions, I''ll put
them up for a vote.
I''ve also re-published all XML-generated pages at http://shorewall.net
so you can look at results there. I believe that all of the .css
features can be seen at http://shorewall.net/FAQ.htm.
