glossary missing from xhtml output

Is there any obvious (or not-so-obvious) reason that my
glossary is 
missing (blank) from XHTML chunked output? I see a glossary
section and 
glossary page in the output, but no glosslist or
glossentries. My 
<glossary> is a child of <book>.

I've tried both the 1.72.0 and 1.73.0 stylesheets, with no
difference. 
FO/PDF output shows the glossary just fine.

My customization layer is here:

Thanks,

Brett

We've found the same thing. I'm not sure why it works this
way--maybe
someone on the list knows?

To work around it, we put the glossary inside a
<chapter>. In the
output, this caused us to have two "Glossary"
headings: one desired (at
the Chapter level), and then an undesired one that appeared
because of
the <glossary> tag. We suppressed the latter one by
customizing the l10n
title value for <glossary> to output nothing:

<l:template name="glossary"
text=""/>

I can't reproduce this. When I use your customization +
1.73.0 (or 1.72.0)
to process the following file (with xsltproc), 

<book xmlns="http://docbook.or
g/ns/docbook" version="5.0">
  <title>Book title</title>   
 
  <chapter>
    <title>Chapter 1 title</title>
    <para>chapter 1 para</para>
  </chapter>

  <chapter>
    <title>Chapter 2 title</title>
    <para>chapter 2 para</para>
  </chapter>
  
 <glossary>
   <glossentry>
     <glossterm>XML</glossterm>
     <glossdef>
       <para>Extensible Markup Language</para>
     </glossdef>
   </glossentry>
 </glossary>
</book>,

there are four output files: index.html, ch01.html,
ch02.html, go01.html.
The glossary chunk looks fine.

By the way, the recommended way of setting up a proper
chunking
customization is a little complicated. See
http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/ChunkingCustomi
zation.html. The text is
not completely up-to-date with respect to changes in 1.73.0
(but I think Bob
has a new version in the works).

Investigated this further.

In my document (this one happens to be an article and not a
book, but I 
had the same problem), I had the glossentry elements wrapped
in a 
glosslist. When I simply added a single glossentry *after*
the 
glosslist, all of the items (both in glosslist and outside)
appeared in 
the XHTML output. I then removed the glosslist wrapper, and
all of the 
entries appeared in the output.

The glosslist wasn't serving any purpose, so I don't need
it. But TDG v5 
says that glossary can contain glosslist:

http:/
/docbook.org/tdg5/en/html/glosslist.html
http://
docbook.org/tdg5/en/html/glossary.html

Is this a bug?

Thanks again,

Brett

This is a bug in the stylesheet that only appears with
DocBook5.   A 
glossary can contain any number of preamble elements like
paragraphs and 
lists before the glossary entries.  The glosslist element
was included in 
the preamble set, although it probably doesn't make much
sense in that 
context, but it is permitted.  In DocBook4, at least one
glossdiv or 
glossentry was required after any preamble.  The stylesheet
relied on that 
content model to select the preceding siblings preamble
material.

In DocBook5, an empty glossary is permitted, because a
glossary can be 
built automatically from glossterms in the document.  In
effect, your 
glossary had a preamble (the glosslist) but was otherwise
empty, and the 
stylesheet wasn't expecting that.  So the stylesheet needs
to be updated to 
handle the new content model.

Can you please file a bug report on the SourceForge site so
this doesn't 
get lost?  Thanks.
