(Per, please see docbook question about unnumbered chapters in case you
have any insights there; you don't need to bother with the rest.)
I modified the test case, which you can download here:
http://www.europephoto.com/temp/test_case.tgz
Finally had a chance to get back to this. Sorry for the delay (and the
not-very-helpful answers, as you'll see).
- an error message appear when you click on a "accented" node name
in a menu
- an error message appear when you click on a link to an "accented" node
name (xref command)
Regrettably, I get no error message in these cases, using yelp 2.6.4 on
Red Hat (WS 4.1), so I'm at a loss to debug it. What does the error
message say? Can you trace it to a particular element in the docbook
file?
- not all the chapters appear in the left panel of yelp (it should
contains a tree of the sections)
In the test document, the @top and second @chapter had no title
specified. If you add some words, I expect they'll show up in the left
panel. As in:
@top toptest
...
@chapter chap2
...
They are actually present now (for me), they just appear as blank lines
in yelp's left-hand panel. But when I click on the blank line, I get
to the appropriate place.
- the chapter numbers in the xrefs links aren't the good one.
Indeed, yelp is apparently counting the Top node as chapter one, and
also apparently counts any @unnumbered chapter as unnumbered.
makeinfo is outputting a label for numbered chapters, and no label for
unnumbered ones, as in:
<chapter label="" xreflabel="t0" id="Top">
...
<chapter label="1" id="accents-test-space-àéîôù">
...
I poked around a little, but don't know if there is a better way to
represent unnumbered chapters in Docbook. Help?
Meanwhile, the book on Docbook
http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/docbook/chapter/book/chapter.html says
the following, which seems to state that yelp should be using the labels
output by makeinfo instead of renumbering on its own:
Generally, an explicit Label attribute is used only if the
processing system is incapable of generating the label
automatically. If present, the Label is normative; it will used even
if the processing system is capable of automatic labelling.
I didn't try to find the reference in the actual standard.
