Other commands:
Converts an ``informal element'' to/from a ``formal element'' having a title.
This command currently works for informaltable
/table
, informalfigure
/figure
and informalexample
/example
.
An element with an ID
, IDREF
or IDREFS
attribute must be implicitly or explicitly selected. Scrolls to and selects opposite link end (if found). For example, will scroll to and select <section id="foo">
if the command has been invoked with <link linkend="foo">
selected.
An element with an IDREF
or IDREFS
attribute must be implicitly or explicitly selected. Scrolls to and selects next similar link (if found). For example, will scroll to and select following <callout arearefs="foo bar">
if the command has been invoked with <link linkend="foo">
selected.
An element with an IDREF
or IDREFS
attribute must be implicitly or explicitly selected. Scrolls to and selects previous similar link (if found). For example, will scroll to and select preceding <link linkend="foo">
if the command has been invoked with <link linkend="foo">
selected.
Move selected element up, that is, swap it with its preceding sibling node. Requires the element to be explicitly selected.
Move selected element down, that is, swap it with its following sibling node. Requires the element to be explicitly selected.
To make it simple, increase the level of selected subsection (e.g. a sect2
element is converted to a sect1
element).
Requires a ``subsection'' (section
, sect1
, sect2
, sect3
, sect4
or sect5
) or an element which is contained in the body[1] of the section to be explicitly selected.
If a subsection is selected, this subsection becomes a sibling of its parent section. Example: sect2
element having id
="C
" is ``promoted'':
<sect1 id="A">...
<sect2 id="B">...
<sect2 id="C">...
<sect2 id="D">...
This results in:
<sect1 id="A">...
<sect2 id="B">...
<sect1 id="C">...
<sect2 id="D">...
If another type of child element is selected, this element is wrapped in a newly created section which becomes a sibling of its parent section. Example: para
element having id
="C
" is ``promoted'':
<sect1 id="A">...
<para id="B">...
<para id="C">...
<sect2 id="D">...
This results in:
<sect1 id="A">...
<para id="B">...
<sect1>...
<para id="C">...
<sect2 id="D">...
To make it simple, decrease the level of selected section (e.g. a sect1
element is converted to a sect2
element).
Requires a ``section'' (chapter
, appendix
, section
, sect1
, sect2
, sect3
or sect4
) or an element which is contained in the body[2] of the section to be explicitly selected.
If a section is selected and if this section is preceded by a section of the same type, this section becomes a subsection of its preceding sibling. Example: sect1
element having id
="C
" is ``demoted'':
<sect1 id="A">...
<para id="B">...
<sect1 id="C">...
<para id="D">...
This results in:
<sect1 id="A">...
<para id="B">...
<sect2 id="C">...
<para id="D">...
If a section is selected and if this section is not preceded by a section of the same type, a new section is created and selected section becomes a subsection of this new section. Example: sect2
element having id
="C
" is ``demoted'':
<sect1 id="A">...
<para id="B">...
<sect2 id="C">...
<para id="D">...
This results in:
<sect1 id="A">...
<para id="B">...
<sect2>...
<sect3 id="C">...
<para id="D">...
If another type of child element is selected, this element and all the other ``body elements'' which follow it are wrapped in a newly created subsection. Example: para
element having id
="C
" is ``demoted'':
<sect1 id="A">...
<para id="B">...
<para id="C">...
<para id="D">...
<sect2 id="E">...
This results in:
<sect1 id="A">...
<para id="B">...
<sect2>...
<para id="C">...
<para id="D">...
<sect2 id="E">...

Profiling, or conditional text, means that you can create a single XML document with some elements marked as conditional. More information in DocBook XSL: The Complete Guide.

All the above Convert commands display the URL chooser dialog box rather than the standard file chooser dialog box.
For all Convert commands except for the " " command, you must specify the URL (Uniform Resource Locator) of a save file. The " " command creates multiple HTML pages with a first page called index.html
, therefore you need to specify the URL of a save directory.
Note that these commands can create directories on the fly, if needed to. For example, if you specify http://www.acme.com/docs/report43/mydoc.html
as the URL of the save file and if directory report43/
does not exist, this directory will be created during command execution.
