    Fixed bug #2844916 (don't output @target if ulink.target is empty).

  • Keith Fahlgren: autoidx.xsl

    Fix a bug when using index.on.type: an 'index symbols' section was created

  • Keith Fahlgren: bin/spec/epub_regressions_spec.rb; bin/spec/files/partintro.xml; docbook.x⋯

    Adding support for partintros with sect2s, 3s, etc

    Remove <b> and <i> elements "discouraged in favor of style sheets" from
XHTML, XHTML 1.1 (and therefore EPUB) outputs by changing html2xhtml.xsl.

Fixes bug #2873153: No <b> and <i> tags in XHTML/EPUB

Added regression to EPUB specs:

  • Keith Fahlgren: bin/lib/docbook.rb; bin/spec/files/DejaVuSerif-Italic.otf; docbook.xsl; bi⋯

    This resolves bug #2873142, Please add support for multiple embedded fonts


If you navigate to a checkout of DocBook-XSL and go to:
xsl/epub/bin/spec/files
You can now run the following command:

../../dbtoepub -f DejaVuSerif.otf -f DejaVuSerif-Italic.otf -c test.css
-s test_cust.xsl orm.book.001.xml

In dbtoepub, the following option can be used more than once:
-f, --font [OTF FILE] Embed OTF FILE in .epub.

The underlying stylesheet now accepts a comma-separated list of font file
names rather than just one as the RENAMED epub.embedded.fonts ('s' added).

The runnable EPUB spec now includes:
- should be valid .epub after including more than one embedded font

  • Keith Fahlgren: docbook.xsl

    Improve the selection of cover images when working in DocBook 4.x land (work in progress)

  • Keith Fahlgren: bin/spec/epub_regressions_spec.rb; docbook.xsl

    Improve the quality of the OPF spine regression by ensuring that the spine
elements for deeply nested refentries are in order and adjacent to their
opening wrapper XHTML chunk.

  • Keith Fahlgren: bin/spec/epub_regressions_spec.rb; docbook.xsl; bin/spec/files/orm.book.00⋯

    Add more careful handling of refentries to ensure that they always appear in the opf:spine.
This was only a problem when refentries were pushed deep into the hierarchy (like inside
a sect2), but presented navigational problems for many reading systems (despite the
correct NCX references). This may *not* be the best solution, but attacking a better
chunking strategy for refentries was too big a nut to crack at this time.

  • Keith Fahlgren: bin/spec/epub_regressions_spec.rb; bin/spec/files/test_cust.xsl; bin/spec/⋯

    Fix a bug when using index.on.type: an 'index symbols' section was created 
even if that typed index didn't include any symbols (they were in the other types).

  • Robert Stayton: equation.number.properties.xml

    New attribute set for numbers appearing next to equations.
