   when parens are used, the ancestor node list is in document order
   instead of closest ancestor order.

  • David Cramer: footnote.xsl

    Added a check to confirm that a footnoteref's linkend points to a footnote. Stylesheets stop processing if not and provide a useful error message.

    "lines" -> "line".

context for computing column widths.

  • Mauritz Jeanson: chunk-changebars.xsl

    Added a new top-level stylesheet module, chunk-changebars.xsl, to be 
used for generating chunked output with highlighting based on change 
(@revisionflag) markup. The module imports/includes the standard chunking 
and changebars templates and contains additional logic for chunked output.
See FRs #1015180 and #1819915.

  • Mauritz Jeanson: changebars.xsl

    Reorganized by adding a named template (to enable code reuse).

The parameter was reset to 1 for cells with @revisionflag when 
using changebars.xsl, which resulted in malformed output.
