    1999-07-30  Norman Walsh  <ndw@nwalsh.com>

    	* db31.dsl: Removed some extraneous variables

    	* dbinline.dsl: Make citerefentry formatting sensitive to italics

    	* dblink.dsl: Support for xref to refentry

    	* dbparam.dsl: Removed %refentry-function%, it was broken anyway. I've replaced it with
    	%refentry-xref-manvolnum% which is more akin to what it actually did.
    	If %refentry-xref-manvolnum% is true, "(manvolnum)" is added after refentries
    	in xrefs and citerefentrys.

    	Also added %refentry-xref-italic%; if true, xrefs to refentrys are italisized.

    	Added %qanda-inherit-numeration%. If both %section-autolabel% and %q-i-n% are
    	true, question numbers are prefixed with the section or component number.

    1999-04-20  Norman Walsh  <ndw@nwalsh.com>

    	* db31.dsl: Added support for notations on media objects

    	* dbcompon.dsl: Fixed bugs in article titlepage formatting

    	* dbbibl.dsl: Backed out the change that automatically added &trade after PRODUCTNAME

    	* dblists.dsl: Use may-format-variablelist-as-table

    	* dbparam.dsl: Added %may-format-variablelist-as-table% to control formatting of variablelists.
    	The parameter is #f by default, so if you want variablelists to format as tables,
    	you'll have to set it to #t in your driver.

    	Added %hyphenation% to control hyphenation of paragraphs, but it doesn't
    	actually seem to be working yet.

    	* dbprint.dsl: Attempt to use hyphenation parameter

    1999-03-17  Norman Walsh  <ndw@nwalsh.com>

    	* db31.dsl, dblink.dsl: Added support for XREFs to QUESTIONs and ANSWERs

    1999-03-06  Norman Walsh  <ndw@nwalsh.com>

    1999-03-02  Norman Walsh  <ndw@nwalsh.com>

    	* docbook.dsl: Added Japanese localization

    1999-03-01  Norman Walsh  <ndw@nwalsh.com>

    	* db31.dsl: Localized the Q: and A: labels

    	* dbautoc.dsl: Changed make-sequence into sosofo-append, to reduce recursion in the
    	TeX backend.

    	* dbparam.dsl: Added top, bottom, header, and footer margin parameters

    1999-02-26  Norman Walsh  <ndw@nwalsh.com>

    	* dbbibl.dsl, dbcallou.dsl, dbparam.dsl, dbsynop.dsl, dbttlpg.dsl, dbverb.dsl:
    	Added support for indenting linespecific elements

    	* dbblock.dsl: Reorganized the footnote-size-factor handling

    	* dblists.dsl: Added support for formatting VARIABLELISTs as tables (for side-by-side VLs)

    	* dblists.dsl: Fix variable list formatting bugs

    	* dblists.dsl: Fixed formatting of variablelist terms. The calculation for termlength
    	was just totally odd. I have no idea what I thought that was supposed
    	to do. And I reduced the spacing between consecutive terms in the same
    	entry.

    	* dbparam.dsl: Added %footnote-size-factor%, for bottom of the page footnotes, and
    	%default-variablelist-termlength% and %format-variablelist-as-table%

    	* docbook.dsl: Switch to new public id for dblib.dsl

    1999-02-23  Norman Walsh  <ndw@nwalsh.com>

    	* docbook.dsl: Added Romanian

    1999-02-01  Norman Walsh  <ndw@nwalsh.com>

    	* dbblock.dsl: Added (named-formal-objects) list to control whether or not a formal
    	object title begins with "name-of-element:" or not.  In previous versions,
    	the label was always generated, unless "name-of-element" was empty, but
    	this is impractical.  It means, for example, that you can't have the name
    	of the element defined for other reasons.

    	* dbparam.dsl: Tinkered with metainfo; fixed IDs

    1999-01-21  Norman Walsh  <ndw@nwalsh.com>

    	* db31.dsl, dbblock.dsl, dbmath.dsl: Added support for rules before and after blocks (examples, figures, tables, and equations)

    	* dbadmon.dsl: Fixed formatting problems in admonitions with multiple paras

    	* dbinline.dsl: Added underlining to Accel formatting

    	* dbparam.dsl: Moved DocBook DSSSL Architecture back to DocBook 3.0, so renamed constant to literal.

    	* dbparam.dsl: Converted to the DocBook DSSSL Architecture doctype.  Added parameters
    	for rules before and after blocks.

    	* dbprint.dsl: Moved the print-backend function from dbparam to here.

    	* docbook.dsl: Changed inclusion of dbparam and dblib from entity reference to
    	external specification.  This allows them to be complete doctypes.

    1999-01-13  Norman Walsh  <ndw@nwalsh.com>

    	* db31.dsl: New file.

    	* dbbibl.dsl: Changed section-hlevel call to SECTLEVEL

    	* dbl1da.dsl, dbl1de.dsl, dbl1en.dsl, dbl1no.dsl, dbl1sv.dsl:
    	Fixed country codes.

    	* dbsect.dsl: Removed call to section-hlevel

    	* docbook.dsl: Fixed country codes, added db31.dsl

    1999-01-02  Norman Walsh  <ndw@nwalsh.com>

    	* dbl1da.dsl: Fixed incorrect ID on style-specification.

    1998-12-29  Norman Walsh  <ndw@nwalsh.com>

    	* dbgloss.dsl: Added support for LINKEND on GLOSSTERM and FIRSTTERM

    	* dbinline.dsl: Moved processing of FIRSTTERM to dbgloss.dsl

    	* dbparam.dsl: Added firstterm-bold to make FIRSTTERM entries bold.

    1998-12-22  Norman Walsh  <ndw@nwalsh.com>

    	* dbcompon.dsl: Removed extranous call to (normalize).

    	* dbparam.dsl: Added %label-preface-sections%. If true, sections in the
    	preface are numbered, otherwise they aren't.

    1998-12-16  Norman Walsh  <ndw@nwalsh.com>

    	* dbttlpg.dsl: Improved formatting of RevHistory.

    1998-12-14  Norman Walsh  <ndw@nwalsh.com>

    	* dblink.dsl: Use (data-of) instead of (data).

    	* docbook.dsl, version.dsl: Added VERSION to version message (which isn't actually used
    	in the print stylesheets...)

    1998-12-13  Norman Walsh  <ndw@nwalsh.com>

    	* dbblock.dsl: Added support for BOP footnotes and floating formal objects if the
    	TeX backend is being used.

    	* dblink.dsl: Added support for XREF to LISTITEM of an ORDEREDLIST.

    	* dblists.dsl: Reset first-line-start-indent so that nested VARIABLELISTs are
    	formatted correctly.

    	* dbparam.dsl: Added tex-backend, mif-backend, rtf-backend, and default-backend.
    	Added (print-backend).

    	Added formal-object-float: if #t, formal objects "float" when
    	the TeX backend is used.

    	Added bop-footnotes: if #t, footnotes appear at the bottom of
    	each page instead of collected at the end of a section. This is
    	only supported in the TeX backend.

    	* docbook.dsl: Added flow object classes for TeX support

    1998-12-04  Norman Walsh  <ndw@nwalsh.com>

    	* dbbibl.dsl: Complete rewrite of bibliograpy handling.  Almost all elements
    	are now output.  See contrib/*/short-biblioentry.dsl for an
    	example of how to restrict the output.

    	* dbsect.dsl: Moved $section-hlevel$ to dbcommon

    1998-12-02  Norman Walsh  <ndw@nwalsh.com>

    	* dblink.dsl: Fixed badly broken LINK semantics

    1998-11-30  Norman Walsh  <ndw@nwalsh.com>

    	* dbblock.dsl: Move formatting for Abstract off of (abstract para) and
    	onto abstract proper.

    	* dbcallou.dsl: AreaSpec, Area, and AreaSet should be empty

    	* dbinline.dsl: Added TM to Trademark; made Option monocase

    	* dbl1fi.dsl: New file.

    	* dbparam.dsl: Added %article-title-quadding% and
    	%article-subtitle-quadding%

    	* dbparam.dsl: Changed default min-leading to allow graphics that are
    	taller than the current leading to be rendered.

    	* dbttlpg.dsl: More work on titlepages.  Removed use of (default) rule
    	so now nested elements should format properly.

    	* docbook.dsl: Added Finnish

    1998-11-25  Norman Walsh  <ndw@nwalsh.com>

    	* dbblock.dsl: Suppress footnotes in suppressed comments.
    	Support %show-comments%

    	* dbdivis.dsl: Handle Footnotes in PartIntro

    	* dbinline.dsl: Comment is now a block, not an inline

    	* dblink.dsl: Support %show-ulinks%

    	* dbmath.dsl: Added (incomplete) support for equation autolabelling.

    	* dbparam.dsl: Fixed typo in ID

    	* dbparam.dsl: Added %show-ulinks% and %show-comments%

    	* dbrfntry.dsl: Create new simple-page-sequence if RefEntry is the root node

    	* dbttlpg.dsl: Completely reworked.  Again.  Now there should be
    	*some* output for every element that can occur
    	in an "info" node.

    	* dbverb.dsl: Don't force quadding in literal layout environments, let
    	it be inherited

    1998-11-19  Norman Walsh  <ndw@nwalsh.com>

    	* dbblock.dsl: Added support for footnoted ulinks

    	* dbindex.dsl: Added support for an index. See the docs.

    	* dblink.dsl: Added support for footnoted ULINKs

    	* dbparam.dsl: Added image-library and image-library-filename.
    	The image library is an external XML document which
    	contains additional information about images. It's
    	used mainly in the HTML backend.

    	Added %page-column-sep% and %page-balance-columns?%
    	to control the default parameters when doing multiple
    	columns.

    	* dbparam.dsl: Added %footnote-ulinks%

    	* dbsynop.dsl: The SEPCHAR wasn't handled correctly when the synopsis
    	contained a mixture of ARGs and GROUPs.

    	* dbttlpg.dsl: Added a small hack (an empty paragraph with line spacing
    	of 1pt) to make graphics print correctly if they're the
    	first thing on the page.  (Is there a better way?)

    	* docbook.dsl: Added declare-characteristics for page-column-sep and
    	page-balance-columns? Added all-element-number.

    	* version.dsl: Removed version number; see ChangeLog for lib/dblib.dsl

    1998-11-05  Norman Walsh  <ndw@nwalsh.com>

    	* dbadmon.dsl: Caution and Warning had repeated titles. Fixed.

    	* dbparam.dsl: Added %para-indent% and %para-indent-firstpara%.  Used for
    	the indentation of the first line of a paragraph.

    	* dbprint.dsl: Added support for setting a different starting indent
    	for the first line of paragraphs.  The first paragraph
    	in a section gets %para-indent-firstpara% extra space
    	on the first line, other paras get %para-indent% extra
    	space.

    	A paragraph is the first paragraph if it is preceded by a title
    	(or bridgehead) and the only elements that intervene between the
    	title and the paragraph are *info elements, indexterms, and
    	beginpage.

    	* dbrfntry.dsl: A REFSYNOPSISDIV is like a section, not a verbatim paragraph.
    	(I thought I fixed this a long time ago.  Must have been only
    	in the HTML stylesheet.)

    	* dbsect.dsl: For the purpose of calculating the start-indent for
    	a section title, a REFSYNOPSISDIV is like a REFSECT1.

    	* dbsynop.dsl: Calculation of the inter-ARGument/inter-GROUP SEPCHAR was all
    	wrong, but no one noticed because it's usually a space.

    	Multiple COMMANDs in the same CMDSYNOPSIS are separated by
    	a newline.

    	* version.dsl: Version 1.23 released.

    1998-11-03  Norman Walsh  <ndw@nwalsh.com>

    	* dbblock.dsl: Fixed spacing around titles that appear after a formal
    	object.

    	* version.dsl: Version 1.22 released.

    1998-11-02  Norman Walsh  <ndw@nwalsh.com>

    	* docbook.dsl: Refer to dblib.dsl by public ID instead of system ID

    	* version.dsl: Version 1.21 created (not for release, just
    	to checkpoint another project).

    1998-11-01  Norman Walsh  <ndw@nwalsh.com>

    	* dbautoc.dsl: Made TOC/LOT titles into links

    	* dbbibl.dsl: Include 'bookbiblio' in the list of elements that
    	should be ignored in 'biblioentry'.

    	* dbblock.dsl: Added support for ($object-titles-after$).
    	Fixed bug in table footnotes where a footnote in the
    	header appeared bold in the footnote list.

    	* dblink.dsl: Support XREF to CO

    	* dbparam.dsl: Added ($object-titles-after$). Returns a list of
    	elements. The titles of elements in that list
    	appear below the objects instead of above them.

    	* dbtable.dsl: Fixed bugs in handling of cell and row borders.

    1998-10-31  Norman Walsh  <ndw@nwalsh.com>

    	* dbblock.dsl: Improved formating of epigraphs

    	* dbtable.dsl: Removed debug message accidentally left in place

    1998-10-30  Norman Walsh  <ndw@nwalsh.com>

    	* dbadmon.dsl: Removed position-point-y.  Why was I doing that?  The
    	TeX backend now handles it, so suddenly it turned up
    	as a bug.

    	* dbl1da.dsl, dbl1sv.dsl: New file.

    	* dbl1ru.dsl: Updates by Ilia Kouznetsov

    	* dbtable.dsl: Improved handling of COLSPECs (that is to say, handle them
    	correctly ;-)

    	* docbook.dsl: Added Swedish and Danish

    	* version.dsl: Version 1.20 released.

    1998-10-22  Norman Walsh  <ndw@nwalsh.com>

    	* dbblock.dsl: Changed formatting of Sidebars.  They now get a box.

    1998-10-19  Norman Walsh  <ndw@nwalsh.com>

    	* dbadmon.dsl: Moved a number of characteristics up from the
    	paragraphs in an admonition to the wrapper
    	around the paragraphs.  This makes lists and
    	other non-PARA elements in an admonition
    	work properly.

    	* dbautoc.dsl: Removed use: para-style.

    	Everything in para-style should be inherited from a higher-level
    	wrapper. Otherwise, for example, PARAs a LIST get para-style
    	even if the list is in an admonition.

    	* dbbibl.dsl: Replaced " " with "\no-break-space;" in a number of places.

    	* dbblock.dsl: Removed use: para-style.

    	Added a rule for (para blockquote) so that a
    	first-line-start-indent on the outer para
    	isn't inherited by the para in the blockquote.

    	* dbcallou.dsl: Made generated spaces non-breaking.

    	* dbcompon.dsl: Removed use: para-style

    	Added use: default-txt-style to the simple-page-sequences.
    	default-text-style has the same characteristics that
    	para-style used to have.

    	* dbdivis.dsl, dbindex.dsl, dbsect.dsl: See changes for dbcompon.dsl

    	* dbinline.dsl: Added support for SEQ and SIMUL values of the ACTION
    	attribute on KEYCOMBO.

    	* dbl1es.dsl, dbl1fr.dsl, dbl1it.dsl, dbl1nl.dsl, dbl1no.dsl, dbl1pl.dsl, dbl1pt.dsl, dbl1ru.dsl:
    	Reworked localizations; added support for Spanish, Italian, Dutch, and Portuguese.

    	* dblists.dsl: Made several spaces non breaking.

    	Added support for continued ordered lists.

    	Removed use: para-style.

    	Added keep-with-next to prevent VARLISTENTRY TERMs from
    	becoming separated from their LISTITEMs.

    	* dbparam.dsl: Made admon-graphics #f by default.

    	Made a few spaces non breaking.

    	* dbprint.dsl: Removed para-style (renamed it default-text-style for use
    	on simple-page-sequences).

    	Added nop-style which does nothing (for use in an else)

    	* dbprocdr.dsl: Removed use: para-style.

    	* dbrfntry.dsl: Removed use: para-style.

    	Made spaces non breakable.

    	Fixed a bug in the formatting of the REFENTRY title.
    	The stylesheet was erroneously looking for REFENTRYTITLE
    	among the descendants of the REFENTRY.  The search needed
    	to be more limited than that.

    	* dbsynop.dsl: Made several spaces non breaking.

    	* dbttlpg.dsl: Made a number of spaces non breaking.

    	Changed use: para-style to use: default-text-style.

    	Removed "by" in front of CORPAUTHORs in AUTHORGROUPs.
