This is probably not easy to add because I even if +XSL has support for it, libxslt currently doesn't implement it, so you +can't simply do + + <xsl:template name="db.digit.format.sr" > + <xsl:param name="digit"/> + <xsl:number format="а" lang="sr"/><!-- this is lowercase Cyrillic a --> + </xsl:template> + + ... + <xsl:when test="$format = 'sr-lower'"> + <xsl:call-template name="db.digit.format.sr"> + <xsl:with-param name="digit" select="$digit"/> + </xsl:call-template> + </xsl:when> + +but you'd have to implement something like the following (Euclidean? +:) algorithm: + + <xsl:template name="db.digit.format.sr.lower" > + <xsl:param name="digit"/> + <xsl:choose> + <xsl:when test="$digit>30"> + <xsl:call-template name="db.digit.format.srk"> + <xsl:with-param name="digit" select="floor($digit div 30)"/> + </xsl:call-template> + <xsl:call-template name="db.digit.format.srk"> + <xsl:with-param name="digit" select="$digit mod 30"/> + </xsl:call-template> + </xsl:when> + <xsl:when test="$digit<31"> + <xsl:value-of select="substring('абвгдђежзијклљмнњопрстћуфхцчџш',$digit,1)"/> + </xsl:when> + </xsl:choose> + </xsl:template> + +(this one is for lowercase, and seems to work in my standalone tests :). + +Is it ok to add something like this and introduce a new "format" +"sr-lower" and "sr-upper" that will call-template these ones as +appropriate? We should probably even generalise this to any alphabet +anyway (i.e. instead of hard-coded substring alphabet, pass that up +too :). + + + + +Next, I wonder if we could use different roles for things like +declensions of labels (<xref> stuff), eg: +- "on figure 5" is "na *slici* 5" (locative) +- "from figure 5" is "sa *slike* 5" (genitive) +- "we blame figure 5" is "krivimo *sliku* 5" (accusative) +- "figure 5" is "*slika* 5" (nominative) +... (we have three more, like "with figure 5" [instrumental], "hey, +figure 5, talk to me" [vocative] and "figure 5 misses something" +[dative], but I don't want to bore you with examples; oh, I already +did :) + + +Now, imagine a following paragraph: + +<para>On <xref linkend="figure-sample"/>, if you take a good look, +you'll see something. If we remove <xref linkend="figure-sample"/>, +you'll end up seeing nothing.</para> + +would have to be translated to something like the following in +Serbian: + +<para>On <xref linkend="figure-sample" xrefstyle="locative"/>, if you +take a good look, you'll see something. If we remove <xref +linkend="figure-sample" xrefstyle="accusative"/>, you'll end up seeing +nothing.</para> + +and it should be rendered like: + +<p>On <a href="#figure-sample">slici 5</a>, if you take a good look, +you'll see something. If we remove <a href="#figure-sample">sliku +5</a>, you'll end up seeing nothing.</p> + +Note the "slici" and "sliku" renderings. Do l10n stylesheets support +that already (I didn't look :), or do we need to work on that as well? + |
