How to generate image numbering

[rahmanusta]

Im using asciidoctor-fopub to generate pdf books. toc and table's numbering is generating with it. But, i couldnt generate image numbering with fopub, how can i do it?

You have to hack the XSL (either fo-pdf.xsl or common.xsl in src/dist/docbook-xsl/). Here's the reference from sagehill.

http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/FormalTitles.html

fopub offers a set of XSL refinements to make the output look a bit better and deal with some AsciiDoc-specific content, but doesn't offer a general framework for changing core functionality in the DocBook toolchain. Those are left up to the user as an exercise :)

Thanks Dan, i know. However, i couldnt enable figure numbering, can you help me for this? :)

[mojavelinux]

Does the figure have a title? Is it a block-level image (two colons?). It might be helpful if you give me either the source AsciiDoc or the relative bits of the DocBook XML.

When I run fopub on the README.adoc for this repository, I'm seeing a figure number. Do you get the same result?

[rahmanusta]

I've found the reason. I'm using asciidoctor.js to generate docbook from asciidoctor. But, it renders image in formaldata element instead of figure.

For example, it was so

<formalpara>
<title>Sample PDF document rendered in viewer</title>
<para><inlinemediaobject>
<imageobject>
<imagedata fileref="images/image001.png"/>
</imageobject>
<textobject><phrase>Screenshot of sample PDF document</phrase></textobject>
</inlinemediaobject></para>
</formalpara>

When after changed formalpara elements to figure, it shows the figure numbering.

Which version of Asciidoctor.js do you have that supports the DocBook backend? I didn't realize we compiled that into Asciidoctor.js anywhere. Do you use custom templates?

[rahmanusta]

No, i didnt use custom template. Yes, it is older version but there is no version comment on top of js file. it is older but converts asciidoc to docbook5.

[mojavelinux]

I wasn't aware that Asciidoctor.js could convert to DocBook. Strange.

[rahmanusta]

Yes, it can convert. Im using this conversation in AsciidocFX :)

[rahmanusta]

I want to clear something;

• : is not allowed in title.i changed with -
• image element wrapped with formpara instead of figure element
• When using multipage included asciidoc file
  • it wraps all include:: section with preface
  • if you use colophon, bibliograpy, index so on above the include sections, that object wraps included sections.

Thanks @rahmanusta. The best way to proceed to resolve these issues is to provide small sample documents that we can use in a test case.

Even if you can't get the code to run, writing a cucumber test scenario in draft form is helpful. For examples, see https://github.com/asciidoctor/asciidoctor/blob/master/features/open_block.feature. I've setup multiple ways to represent the output. Just pick the form that works best for the use case.
