<para>This is reference documentation for all user-configurable
parameters in the DocBook XSL "manpages" stylesheet (for
generating groff/nroff output). Note that the manpages
stylesheet is a customization layer of the DocBook XSL HTML
stylesheet. Therefore, you can also use a number of <link xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xlink:href="../html/">HTML stylesheet parameters</link>
to control manpages output (in addition to the
manpages-specific parameters listed in this section).</para>

<para>If non-zero, hyphenation is enabled.</para>
<note>
<para>The default value for this parameter is zero because groff is
not particularly smart about how it does hyphenation; it can end up
hyphenating a lot of things that you don't want hyphenated. To
mitigate that, the default behavior of the stylesheets is to suppress
hyphenation of computer inlines, filenames, and URLs. (You can
override the default behavior by setting non-zero values for the
<parameter>man.hyphenate.urls</parameter>,
<parameter>man.hyphenate.filenames</parameter>, and
<parameter>man.hyphenate.computer.inlines</parameter> parameters.) But
the best way is still to just globally disable hyphenation, as the
stylesheets do by default.</para>
<para>The only good reason to enabled hyphenation is if you have also
enabled justification (which is disabled by default). The reason is
that justified text can look very bad unless you also hyphenate it; to
quote the <quote>Hypenation</quote> node from the groff info page:
<blockquote>
<para><emphasis>Since the odds are not great for finding a set of
words, for every output line, which fit nicely on a line without
inserting excessive amounts of space between words, 'gtroff'
hyphenates words so that it can justify lines without inserting too
much space between words.</emphasis></para>
</blockquote>
So, if you set a non-zero value for the
<parameter>man.justify</parameter> parameter (to enable
justification), then you should probably also set a non-zero value for
<parameter>man.hyphenate</parameter> (to enable hyphenation).</para>

<refsection><info><title>Description</title></info>
<para>If non-zero, text is justified to both the right and left
margins (or, in roff terminology, "adjusted and filled" to both the
right and left margins). If zero (the default), text is adjusted to
the left margin only -- producing what is traditionally called
"ragged-right" text.</para>
<note>
<para>The default value for this parameter is zero because justified
text looks good only when it is also hyphenated. Without hyphenation,
excessive amounts of space often end up getting between words, in
order to "pad" lines out to align on the right margin.</para>
<para>The problem is that groff is not particularly smart about how it
does hyphenation; it can end up hyphenating a lot of things that you
don't want hyphenated. So, disabling both justification and
hyphenation ensures that hyphens won't get inserted where you don't
want to them, and you don't end up with lines containing excessive
amounts of space between words.</para>
<para>However, if do you decide to set a non-zero value for the
<parameter>man.justify</parameter> parameter (to enable
justification), then you should probably also set a non-zero value for
<parameter>man.hyphenate</parameter> (to enable hyphenation).</para>
<para>Yes, these default settings run counter to how most existing man
pages are formatted. But there are some notable exceptions, such as
the <literal>perl</literal> man pages.</para>

<para>If non-zero, line-breaking after slashes is enabled. This is
mainly useful for causing long URLs or pathnames/filenames to be
broken up or "wrapped" across lines (though it also has the side
effect of sometimes causing relatively short URLs and pathnames to be
broken up across lines too).</para>
<para>If zero (the default), line-breaking after slashes is
disabled. In that case, strings containing slashes (for example, URLs
or filenames) are not broken across lines, even if they exceed the
maximum column widith.</para>
<warning>
<para>If you set a non-zero value for this parameter, check your
man-page output carefuly afterwards, in order to make sure that the
setting has not introduced an excessive amount of breaking-up of URLs
or pathnames. If your content contains mostly short URLs or
pathnames, setting a non-zero value for
<parameter>man.break.after.slash</parameter> will probably result in
in a significant number of relatively short URLs and pathnames being
broken across lines, which is probably not what you want.</para>

<para>The <parameter>man.indent.width</parameter> parameter specifies

are non-zero.</para>
<para>The value of <parameter>man.indent.width</parameter> should
include a valid roff measurement unit (for example,
<literal>n</literal> or <literal>u</literal>). The default value of
<literal>4n</literal> specifies a 4-en width; when viewed on a

no <tag>refsect3</tag> or lower nested sections , you may be
able to “conserve” space in your output by setting
<parameter>man.indent.refsect</parameter> to a non-zero value. Doing
so will “squeeze” the left margin in such as way as to provide an
additional four characters of “room” per line in
<tag>refsect1</tag> output. That extra room may be useful
if, for example, you have many verbatim sections with long lines in
them.</para>

<para>If the value of <parameter>man.endnotes.list.enabled</parameter> is
non-zero (the default), then an endnotes list is added to the end of
the output man page.</para>
<para>If the value of <parameter>man.endnotes.list.enabled</parameter> is
zero, the list is suppressed — unless link numbering is enabled (that
is, if <parameter>man.endnotes.are.numbered</parameter> is non-zero), in
which case, that setting overrides the
<parameter>man.endnotes.list.enabled</parameter> setting, and the
endnotes list is still displayed. The reason is that inline
numbering of notesources associated with endnotes only makes sense
if a (numbered) list of endnotes is also generated.</para>
<note>
<para>Leaving
<parameter>man.endnotes.list.enabled</parameter> at its default
(non-zero) value ensures that no “out of line” information (such
as the URLs for hyperlinks and images) gets lost in your
man-page output. It just gets “rearranged”.</para>
<para>So if you’re thinking about disabling endnotes listing by
setting the value of
<parameter>man.endnotes.list.enabled</parameter> to zero:
Before you do so, first take some time to carefully consider
the information needs and experiences of your users. The “out
of line” information has value even if the presentation of it
in text output is not as interactive as it may be in other
output formats.</para>
<para>As far as the specific case of URLs: Even though the URLs
displayed in text output may not be “real” (clickable)
hyperlinks, many X terminals have convenience features for
recognizing URLs and can, for example, present users with
an options to open a URL in a browser with the user clicks on
the URL is a terminal window. And short of those, users with X
terminals can always manually cut and paste the URLs into a web
browser.</para>
<para>Also, note that various “man to html” tools, such as the
widely used <command><link xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xlink:href="http://users.actrix.gen.nz/michael/vhman2html.html">man2html</link></command> (<literal>VH-Man2html</literal>)
application, automatically mark up URLs with <literal>a@href</literal> markup
during conversion — resulting in “real” hyperlinks in HTML
output from those tools.</para>
</note>
<para>To “turn off” numbering of endnotes in the
endnotes list, set <parameter>man.endnotes.are.numbered</parameter>
to zero. The endnotes list will
still be displayed; it will just be displayed without the
numbers<footnote><para>It can still make sense to have
the list of endnotes displayed even if you have endnotes numbering turned
off. In that case, your endnotes list basically becomes a “list
of references” without any association with specific text in
your document. This is probably the best option if you find the inline
endnotes numbering obtrusive. Your users will still have access to all the “out of line”
such as URLs for hyperlinks.</para></footnote>
</para>
<para>The default heading for the endnotes list is
<literal>NOTES</literal>. To change that, set a non-empty
value for the <parameter>man.endnotes.list.heading</parameter>
parameter.</para>
<para>In the case of notesources that are links: Along with the
URL for each link, the endnotes list includes the contents of the
link. The list thus includes only non-empty<footnote>
<para>A “non-empty” link is one that looks like
this:<literallayout class="monospaced"> <ulink url="http://docbook.sf.net/snapshot/xsl/doc/manpages/">manpages</ulink></literallayout>
an “empty link” is on that looks like this:<literallayout class="monospaced"> <ulink url="http://docbook.sf.net/snapshot/xsl/doc/manpages/"/></literallayout>
</para></footnote> links.
Empty links are never included, and never numbered. They are simply
displayed inline, without any numbering.</para>
<para>In addition, if there are multiple instances of links in a
<tag>refentry</tag> that have the same URL, the URL is listed only
once. The contents listed for that link in the endnotes list are
the contents of the first link which has that URL.</para>
<para>If you disable endnotes listing, you should probably also set
<parameter>man.links.are.underlined</parameter> to zero (to disable
link underlining).</para>

<important>
<para>If you are thinking about disabling endnote numbering by setting
the value of <parameter>man.endnotes.are.numbered</parameter> to zero,
before you do so, first take some time to carefully
consider the information needs and experiences of your users. The
square-bracketed numbers displayed inline after notesources may seem
obstrusive and aesthetically unpleasing<footnote><para>As far as notesources that are links, ytou might
think it would be better to just display URLs for non-empty
links inline, after their content, rather than displaying
square-bracketed numbers all over the place. But it's not better. In
fact, it's not even practical, because many (most) URLs for links
are too long to be displayed inline. They end up overflowing the
right margin. You can set a non-zero value for
<parameter>man.break.after.slash</parameter> parameter to deal with
that, but it could be argued that what you end up with is at least
as ugly, and definitely more obstrusive, then having short
square-bracketed numbers displayed inline.</para></footnote>,
but in a text-only output format, the
numbered-notesources/endnotes-listing mechanism is the only
practical way to handle this kind of content.</para>
<para>Also, users of “text based” browsers such as
<command>lynx</command> will already be accustomed to seeing inline
numbers for links. And various "man to html" applications, such as
the widely used <command><link xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xlink:href="http://users.actrix.gen.nz/michael/vhman2html.html">man2html</link></command> (<literal>VH-Man2html</literal>)
application, can automatically turn URLs into "real" HTML hyperlinks
in output. So leaving <parameter>man.endnotes.are.numbered</parameter>
at its default (non-zero) value ensures that no information is
lost in your man-page output. It just gets
“rearranged”.</para>
</important>
</para>
<para>The handling of empty links is not affected by this
parameter. Empty links are handled simply by displaying their URLs
inline. Empty links are never auto-numbered.</para>
<para>If you disable endnotes numbering, you should probably also set
<parameter>man.font.links</parameter> to an empty value (to
disable font formatting for links.</para>

<para>The difference between the two subsets is that

<para>The value of <parameter>man.charmap.subset.profile</parameter>

<variablelist>
<varlistentry>
<term>character</term>
<listitem>
<simpara>a raw Unicode character or numeric Unicode
character-entity value (either in decimal or hex); all
characters have this attribute</simpara>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>name</term>
<listitem>
<simpara>a standard full/long ISO/Unicode character name (e.g.,
"OHM SIGN"); all characters have this attribute</simpara>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>block</term>
<listitem>
<simpara>a standard Unicode "block" name (e.g., "General
Punctuation"); all characters have this attribute. For the full
list of Unicode block names supported in the standard roff
character map, see <xref linkend="BlocksAndClasses"/>.</simpara>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>class</term>
<listitem>
<simpara>a class of characters (e.g., "spaces"). Not all
characters have this attribute; currently, it is used only with
certain characters within the "C1 Controls And Latin-1
Supplement" and "General Punctuation" blocks. For details, see
<xref linkend="BlocksAndClasses"/>.</simpara>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>entity</term>
<listitem>
<simpara>an ISO entity name (e.g., "ohm"); not all characters
have this attribute, because not all characters have ISO entity
names; for example, of the 800 or so characters in the standard
roff character map included in the distribution, only around 300
have ISO entity names.
</simpara>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>string</term>
<listitem>
<simpara>a string representing an roff/groff escape-code (with
"@esc@" used in place of the backslash), or a simple ASCII
string; all characters in the roff character map have this
attribute</simpara>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
</variablelist>
</para>
<para>The value of <parameter>man.charmap.subset.profile</parameter>
is evaluated as an XPath expression at run-time to select a portion of
the roff character map to use. You can tune the subset used by adding
or removing parts. For example, if you need to use a wide range of
mathematical operators in a document, and you want to have them
converted into roff markup properly, you might add the following:
<literallayout class="monospaced"> @*[local-name() = 'block'] ='MathematicalOperators' </literallayout>
That will cause a additional set of around 67 additional "math"
characters to be converted into roff markup. </para>
<note>
<para>Depending on which XSLT engine you use, either the EXSLT
<function>dyn:evaluate</function> extension function (for xsltproc or
Xalan) or <function>saxon:evaluate</function> extension function (for
Saxon) are used to dynamically evaluate the value of
<parameter>man.charmap.subset.profile</parameter> at run-time. If you
don't use xsltproc, Saxon, Xalan -- or some other XSLT engine that
supports <function>dyn:evaluate</function> -- you must either set the
value of the <parameter>man.charmap.use.subset</parameter> parameter
to zero and process your documents using the full character map
instead, or set the value of the
<parameter>man.charmap.enabled</parameter> parameter to zero instead
(so that character-map processing is disabled completely.</para>
</note>
<para>An alternative to using
<parameter>man.charmap.subset.profile</parameter> is to create your
own custom character map, and set the value of
<parameter>man.charmap.uri</parameter> to the URI/filename for
that. If you use a custom character map, you will probably want to
include in it just the characters you want to use, and so you will
most likely also want to set the value of
<parameter>man.charmap.use.subset</parameter> to zero.</para>
<para>You can create a
custom character map by making a copy of the <link xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xlink:href="http://docbook.sourceforge.net/snapshot/xsl/manpages/charmap.groff.xsl">standard roff character map</link> provided in the distribution, and
then adding to, changing, and/or deleting from that.</para>
<caution>
<para>If you author your DocBook XML source in UTF-8 or UTF-16
encoding and aren't sure what OSes or environments your man-page
output might end up being viewed on, and not sure what version of
nroff/groff those environments might have, you should be careful about
what Unicode symbols and special characters you use in your source and
what parts you add to the value of
<parameter>man.charmap.subset.profile</parameter>.</para>
<para>Many of the escape codes used are specific to groff and using
them may not provide the expected output on an OS or environment that
uses nroff instead of groff.</para>
<para>On the other hand, if you intend for your man-page output to be
viewed only on modern systems (for example, GNU/Linux systems, FreeBSD
systems, or Cygwin environments) that have a good, up-to-date groff,
then you can safely include a wide range of Unicode symbols and
special characters in your UTF-8 or UTF-16 encoded DocBook XML source
and add any of the supported Unicode block names to the value of
<parameter>man.charmap.subset.profile</parameter>.</para>
</caution>

<parameter>man.charmap.use.subset</parameter> parameter.</para>

<para>The <parameter>man.string.subst.map</parameter> parameter
contains <link linkend="map">a map</link> that specifies a set of
string substitutions to perform over the entire roff source for each
man page, either just before generating final man-page output (that
is, before writing man-page files to disk) or, if the value of the
<parameter>man.charmap.enabled</parameter> parameter is non-zero,
before applying the roff character map.</para>
<para>You can use <parameter>man.string.subst.map</parameter> as a
“lightweight” character map to perform “essential” substitutions --
that is, substitutions that are <emphasis>always</emphasis> performed,
even if the value of the <parameter>man.charmap.enabled</parameter>
parameter is zero. For example, you can use it to replace quotation
marks or other special characters that are generated by the DocBook
XSL stylesheets for a particular locale setting (as opposed to those
characters that are actually in source XML documents), or to replace
any special characters that may be automatically generated by a
particular customization of the DocBook XSL stylesheets.</para>
<warning>
<para>Do you not change value of the
<parameter>man.string.subst.map</parameter> parameter unless you are
sure what you are doing. First consider adding your
string-substitution mappings to either or both of the following
parameters:
<variablelist>
<varlistentry>
<term><parameter>man.string.subst.map.local.pre</parameter></term>
<listitem><para>applied before
<parameter>man.string.subst.map</parameter></para></listitem>

<listitem><para>applied after
<parameter>man.string.subst.map</parameter></para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
</variablelist>
By default, both of those parameters contain no
string substitutions. They are intended as a means for you to
specify your own local string-substitution mappings.</para>
<para>If you remove any of default mappings from the value of the
<parameter>man.string.subst.map</parameter> parameter, you are
likely to end up with broken output. And be very careful about adding
anything to it; it’s used for doing string substitution over the
entire roff source of each man page – it causes target strings to be
replaced in roff requests and escapes, not just in the visible
contents of the page.</para>

<parameter>refentry.source.name.profile.enabled</parameter> is

"hard coded" into the stylesheets is used.</para>
<para>A "source name" is one part of a (potentially) two-part
<replaceable>Name</replaceable> <replaceable>Version</replaceable>
"source" field. In man pages, it is usually displayed in the left
footer of the page. It typically indicates the software system or
product that the item documented in the man page belongs to. The
<literal>man(7)</literal> man page describes it as "the source of
the command", and provides the following examples:
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>For binaries, use something like: GNU, NET-2, SLS
Distribution, MCC Distribution.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>For system calls, use the version of the kernel that you
are currently looking at: Linux 0.99.11.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>For library calls, use the source of the function: GNU, BSD
4.3, Linux DLL 4.4.1.</para>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
</para>
<para>In practice, there are many pages that simply have a Version
number in the "source" field. So, it looks like what we have is a
two-part field,
<replaceable>Name</replaceable> <replaceable>Version</replaceable>,
where:
<variablelist>
<varlistentry>
<term>Name</term>
<listitem>
<para>product name (e.g., BSD) or org. name (e.g., GNU)</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>Version</term>
<listitem>
<para>version number</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
</variablelist>
Each part is optional. If the <replaceable>Name</replaceable> is a
product name, then the <replaceable>Version</replaceable> is probably
the version of the product. Or there may be no
<replaceable>Name</replaceable>, in which case, if there is a
<replaceable>Version</replaceable>, it is probably the version
of the item itself, not the product it is part of. Or, if the
<replaceable>Name</replaceable> is an organization name, then there
probably will be no <replaceable>Version</replaceable>.</para>

systems, the title and section are displayed on the right-hand column
of the header. On many systems -- those with a modern groff, including
Linux systems -- they are displayed twice: both in the left and right
columns of the header.</para>
<para>So if the length of the title exceeds a certain percentage of
the column width in which the page is viewed, the left and right
titles can end up overlapping, making them unreadable, or breaking to
another line, which doesn't look particularly good.</para>
<para>So the stylesheets provide the
<parameter>man.th.title.max.length</parameter> parameter as a means
for truncating titles that exceed the maximum length that can be
viewing properly in a page header.</para>
<para>The default value is reasonable but somewhat arbitrary. If you
have pages with long titles, you may want to experiment with changing
the value in order to achieve the correct aesthetic results.</para>

Upgrade ANT doc build infrastructure to assemble PDFs: - remove non-namespaced DocBook source and add namespaced DocBook source. - add Apache FOP 1.1 - copy fonts, images, XSL into _build, establishing new asset structure. The original structure remains until all guides using it can be upgraded, and several other issues can be resolved. - updated build.xml to allow for per-target build properties. - upgraded the P4SAG to use the new infrastructure. - tweaked admonition presentation in PDFs to remove admonition graphics, and resemble closely the presentation used in the new HTML layout, including the same colors. With these changes, building PDFs involves using a shell, navigating into the guide's directory (just P4SAG for now), and executing "ant pdf". Issues still to be resolved: - PDF generation encounters several warnings about missing fonts (bold versions of Symbol and ZapfDingbats), and a couple of locations where the page content exceeds the defined content area. - Due to issues within Apache FOP, PDF generation emits a substantial amount of output that is not easily suppressed without losing important warning information. - Apache FOP's interface to ANT does not expose a way to set the font base directory. The current configuration does work under Mac OSX, but further testing on Windows will need to be done to determine if the relative paths defined continue to work. The workaround is for Windows users to customize the fop-config.xml to provide absolute system paths to the required fonts. - HTML generation needs further browser testing, and exhibits broken navigation on iOS browsers within the TOC sidebar. - A number of PDF and HTML presentation tweaks still need to be made, for example: sidebars, gui* DocBook tags, whitespace, section separation, etc. |
