Customise header and footer information

Reported by: Matthew Burgess Owned by: lfs-book@…

Description

The default headers and footers could be improved in both the HTML & PDF outputs. The closest thing I could find in the archives describing the issue was my response (http://archives.linuxfromscratch.org/mail-archives/lfs-dev/2004-April/044404.html)

to Bill's original observation that the date's had gone AWOL from the header.

I looked at the tidyed output... There's a <hr> in <ul class="headerlinks">; this should be below the containing <div>. I have questioned the use of <li> for the book title and section title, but I'm not sure what would be the most correct tag for it. I thought about <h1> for book title and <h2> for section title, but it doesn't seem appropriate to use those headers for recurring information. And since it's function and thus meaning is similar to the constant navigation on a website, I think that their current markup is probably the best solution.

Everything else seems good in the headers!

Nice work! The headers are semantically correct and great as far as I am concerned. Will work on some accompanying CSS on saturday.

Here is a complete version of the book with the new header and footer taging: http://www.lfs-es.org/newxml

Ready to go. This changes don't affect the XML code, only the stylesheets/lfs-chunked.xsl file.

This is controlled by the templates named "Header Navigation" and "Footer Navigation"
