Today I noticed that we have src/docs/refdocs/langref/fblangref25 and src/docs/refdocs/langref/langref25 The former seems to be the released Firebird 2.5 Language Reference, while the latter seems to be an abandoned work-in-progress. The presence of both is a bit confusing. Is it OK if I delete that last one (src/docs/refdocs/langref/langref25)? If we ever need it, it would still be accessible from the history.

I also prefer the chunked HTML. But of course I can live without it. It might be interesting to see in the server logs how often both variants (HTML and PDF) are requested. I'm not sure if I have access to them; will try this weekend. Cheers, Paul |

Hi Mark, I actually prefer chunky html, sorry. It loads quicker over single files. True, I can't search the whole file, but if I needed that I'd use the pdf. Having said that, I'm happy to lose the chunky version, if necessary. Cheers, Norm. -- Sent from my Android device with K-9 Mail. Please excuse my brevity. |

As I'm looking at the asciidoc conversion, our current choice of having a (single) PDF and a chunked HTML output on the website is a bit of a pain point. Asciidoctor does not support chunked HTML output (there is an experimental, third-party plugin, but that plugin is tied to a specific, out-of-date asciidoctor version). The current options to produce chunked HTML output are: 1. Use separate asciidoc files per section 2. Generate docbook from asciidoc and then use xsl to generate chunked HTML Option 1 has the downsides that to generate a PDF, an additional 'include' file needs to be maintained to be able to generate a single document in addition to the 'chunked' files. This has maintenance overhead and could be something that can easily be overlooked when adding sections. I also haven't yet figured out how to have navigation between sections in the (faked) chunked output this way. This last concern might be addressable by using Antora[https://antora.org/] to generate the HTML documentation (eg see https://docs.antora.org/antora/2.2/ for an example), but that feels like a huge increase in scope. Option 2 might run into some problems as asciidoctor generates docbook 5, not docbook 4.5, so I'm not sure if this would cause problems with our current stylesheets. Option 2 seems to be the least intrusive way to retain chunked HTML output. However, before I spend a lot of time going that route, I'm wondering: - Do we need to retain the ability to generate chunked HTML output? - And, what is the reason that we currently use chunked HTML output? Personally, I'm not really a fan of chunked HTML (searching through a single page HTML document is much simpler), but maybe I'm overlooking something. Mark -- Mark Rotteveel |

However, I'll double check what > the old behaviour was in this case. The old docbook used roman numerals in the page itself, but not in the PDF pagination (there it used the physical page number, not the printed page number). That the PDF pagination now uses the roman numerals is probably a result of the newer docbook-xsl version or Apache FOP, or possibly a result of the following thing. In the old build, the page numbers would reset for each book, but in the new build they are continuous within the set. This is also the reason the roman numeral is so high. This is because of a change in 1.77.1 with description: """ Robert Stayton: pagesetup.xsl Change initial page number for book from 1 to auto so front cover and title pages are sequential, and so that book inside set will continue numbering. """ As full set PDFs are not how we normally build the PDFs, I think it is fine to ignore this difference. Mark -- Mark Rotteveel |

Hi Mark, Paul, I've been attempting to get Gradle working on my box to try out the new build. Finally found time. :) Of course, it's not yet mnerged, I assume it's still in your fork Mark? If so, I'll get a few attempts at building done soon. > > Then I'll start experimenting with asciidoc/asciidoctor. > If you need any questions, I might be able to help - having just done an entire 400 page book in Asciidoctor, using asciidoctor-pdf as the generator. One thing you will find useful is this: // If the backend is PDF then do this. ifdef::backend-pdf[] [width=60%, cols="20%,40%,20%,20%", align = "center", caption="Table 9."] endif::[] // If the backend is html, then do this instead. ifdef::backend-html5[] [width=60%, cols="20%,40%,20%,20%", float = "center", caption="Table 9."] endif::[] .2 - ADC prescaler settings and frequencies. |=== // Insert Table Contents Here // |=== I found that when generating tables in a PDF and HTML, they need different commands to centre them on the page. It's a bit of a bind that the widths cannot be written then the ifdef embedded, so you have to duplicate the widths etc in both options. Captions are interesting. The above would give a table the caption of "Table 9.2 - ADC prescaler settings and frequencies" Asciidoctor has manual table/listing/etc numbering so moving or adding sections will require lots of updating of captions etc. A right major pain! (Ask me how I know!) Good luck and have fun with asciidoctor. (My current book is being written in Lyx!)

Agreed. I don't have time to delve into this and it doesn't seem very urgent. If and when Japanese authors/translators consider this problematic, we can work with them to solve the issue.

I think I have all the parts in place to replace the ant build(*). I have updated the instructions in the docbuilding-howto on my branch. Is it OK to merge this? After merging, the old ant-based build will be gone. As some of the XSL changes are incompatible, it didn't make sense to keep it around. Manual cleanup of the tools, lib, inter and dist folders will be necessary after this (though it won't hurt to keep them). I considered writing a gradle task to delete these folders, but I thought it would be simpler/better to do this manually. Mark *: I haven't written a task to replace the old fo2at task (which generates an Area Tree), although I have the parts in place to create one if it is necessary. Nor did I create a replacement for the fofix, docs, zip and the various cleanXXX tasks. -- Mark Rotteveel |

I have found an instance of the problem, (search for firebird.log in the Japanese Firebird 2.5 release notes), but the trick to remove it from the metrics file doesn't seem to have worked, because I also see it occurring in the existing release notes (ie https://firebirdsql.org/file/documentation/release_notes/Firebird-2.5.4-ReleaseNotes-Japanese.pdf). I also tried modifying the wx entry, but that also doesn't seem to have an effect (but maybe I got the wrong one, or I'm making the wrong modification).

I > will add equivalent tasks for TTF and T1 this weekend. I have committed changes for tasks to generate font metrics and updated the Japanese font-metrics. As an example: gradlew ttfMetrics --fontFile=C:\Windows\Fonts\msgothic.ttc --ttcName="MS Gothic" --fontName="MSGothic" --metricsFileName=msgothic.xml However, in the fop-userconfig.xml, there is a comment that says: """ Make sure msmincho.xml contains no entry for unicode 8203 (zero-width space), or the layout will go wrong for text containing that character. Whenever you generate a new msmincho.xml, see if it contains this element: <bf us="8192" ue="8213" gi="753"/> or something similar with us <= 8203 <= ue. If you find such an element, cut out 8203 by replacing the element with two ranges, in this case: <bf us="8192" ue="8202" gi="753"/><bf us="8204" ue="8213" gi="765"/> Note that the first element keeps the original value for gi. The gi of the second element is calculated as follows: gi(2) = gi(1) + us(2) - us(1) """ After some experimentation, I didn't removed the 8203 character, as I didn't see anything wrong with rendering, but it might be easy to miss. Any idea what I should be looking for? In addition, the formula to derive the gi seems to be wrong. As far as I can tell from the steps between earlier entries, gi is a running count of the numbers of characters, and the actual formula should be gi(2) = gi(1) + 1 + ue(1) - us(1) Which would also suggest that you can't go around and just excise characters without introducing off-by-n errors for later entries. Given the fact Japanese hasn't been kept up-to-date for some time (and for example the release notes only build by commenting out things), is it really worthwhile to invest more time in trying to get this 'right'? Or could this be something that we can leave until a new Japanese document needs to be released? Mark -- Mark Rotteveel |

And indeed we should spend no more time on Ant (unless someone should come up with a very good reason that we didn't think of). Cheers, Paul |

I built an equivalent for ttcmetrics so I could fix the issue with the Japanese rendering. I ran into problems with doing it from Ant (probably due to Java version mismatches) and decided it was easier to just do it from Gradle than spend time investigating exactly why Ant misbehaved. I will add equivalent tasks for TTF and T1 this weekend. Mark |
