🏠Activity stream

For a while, on an earlier homepage, I collected together an “activity stream”. It was collated from a variety of sources through a number of complicated processes to show a “recent activity” view.

I’m sort of interested in that kind of thing, so I’ve made an attempt to recreate it here. This is derived from periodically updated feeds, most recently:

    Support language localization with Saxon PE

    Fix #647

    Attempting to generate day or month names in a language other than English doesn’t work with Saxon HE. But it does work with Saxon PE which was not supported by the stylesheets.

    Note that HE doesn’t fail, it outputs [language: en] to alert you that it ignored the language. For some reason, I decided to work around this by avoiding the language localization when using Saxon HE. I’m not sure that was the right thing to do, but it’s been that way for a long time and it doesn’t seem worth breaking backwards compatibility over.

    Note that it is possible to add localization support to Saxon HE. If you did that, you’d want a switch to disable the default behavior here. I’m not adding that until someone asks because I think it’s pretty unlikely.

    Wrong image dimension when viewport area is defined in percent

    The attached file tests the width of an image, when viewport area is defined in percent of the available width.

    figure007.zip

    Since imagedata/@width='50%', i would expect 50% of available width, which is $nominal-page-width='6in' . This should result in 3 inches or 288 Pixel, assuming 96 pixel / inch.

    But the calculated width is 312px.

    Confused about biblioid[@class = 'uri'] and source of the link

    Formatting dates using language should be supported for Saxon PE

    Looking at the template for <db:date> template in inlines.xsl.

    I'm a bit confused about the results of the @use-when attributes, if I were to use the 'EE' or 'PE' version of Saxon. To me it looks like it would resolve to empty().

    We are planning to use the 'PE' version of Saxon in the near future for its support for localization of language specific dates.

    Output of db:pubdate and db:date differs

  • docbook/xslTNG #646 created, 16 Sep 2025 at 09:25:50

    Output of db:pubdate and db:date differs

    I think this is a bug, unless I missed something.

    When customizing the template for db:info/db:pubdate from modules/info.xsl, I discovered that it outputs the date using a <xhtml:time datetime="..."> element while the template for <db:date> from modules/inlines.xsl produces, <xhtml:span time="...">.

    Looking at valid attributes for <xhtml:span>, @time doesn't seem to be a valid attribute.

    I will override this for now in my customization and, use the <xhtml:time datetime="..."> element for <db:date>, but I wanted to bring attention to this issue.

    Regards, Johan

    The Sonatype folks changed the publishing API and I can’t be bothered to sort this out in CI today. And yes, I’m a little salty about the breaking change.
