The xslt processing does not seem to generate the text for the titles of various
elements like the chapters, the sections, the table of contents.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. create the following file. Adapt the path to docbook.xsl and docbook.dtd to 
your docbook installation
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl"
href="../../../docbook/docbook-xsl/html/docbook.xsl"?>
<!DOCTYPE book
  PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.1.2-Based Extension//EN"
  "../../../docbook/docbook.dtd">
<book>

  <chapter>
    <title>Chapter title</title>
    <section>
      <title>Section title</title>
    </section>   
  </chapter>
</book>
 2. enter the link location in the browser
Actual Results:  
The mozilla browser displays:
--
1. Chapter title
    Section title

Section title
--

which correspond to the table of contents (one table of contents for the
document and one table of contents for the chapter)

Expected Results:  
IE6 displays:
--
Table of Contents
1. Chapter title
Section title

Chapter 1. Chapter title
Table of Contents
Section title

Section title
--

In addition to the tables of contents there is 2 titles "Table of Contents" and
the title for the Chapter and the section.

Confirmed on 1.4, but it works on standalone trunk.

[Jonas Sicking (:sicking) No longer reading bugmail consistently]

it would be nice with a smaller testcase, the dockbook stylesheet is pretty huge

I can confirm that this bug still exists on a CVS trunk build from 23/02/04
with version 1.64 of nwalsh's docbook xsl stylesheets.

The test page I used is at
http://www.jeacocke.org.uk/2003/ossdev/docbook_xsl_test

The xsl stylesheets may be got from
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=21935

This bug is still there on 1.7 RC3 and Firefox 0.9.

Comment 5

[Jonas Sicking (:sicking) No longer reading bugmail consistently]

we're still lacking a usable testcase.

Comment 6

[Arnaud Legout]

Jonas, 
do you mean that if I provide a usable test case, you or someone else will
fix the problem.

Comment 7

[Axel Hecht]

He means that it's highly unlikely that neither he nor me nor peterv bother to 
hunt down for a testcase and thus none of us is going to triage this.
(testcase keyword is to be set once we have a testcase)

Comment 8

[Jonas Sicking (:sicking) No longer reading bugmail consistently]

exactly, without a testcase we can't fix it. With a testcase we can at least try to.

Comment 9

[Jungshik Shin]

Does this have to do with bug 69799 (as implied by bug 69799 comment #30)?

Comment 10

[Ioana (away)]

Windows 2000 support has been dropped a while ago. Please only reopen this bug if you can reproduce it on Windows XP or older with current Firefox builds.

Comment 11

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

Ioana, there appears to be nothing win2k-specific about this bug.  Please don't resolve bugs as wontfix based on their (bogus, automatically set by Bugzilla) OS field without actually trying to reproduce them.

Comment 12

[Ioana (away)]

Windows 2000 present in at least 2 comments (user agents), not just the OS field and there are no other OSs mentioned in this bug. As said before, in my experience with Win2k bugs, most of them didn't reproduce on Win XP or 7. What OS do you think would be suitable to try and reproduce such bugs on?

Attachment: testcase

Since there was no testcase available for this bug, I created one myself. Since the bug refers to missing titles and section titles, I created a simple book with two chapters and sections in them.

Everything is displayed fine in the browser:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:25.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/25.0

Attachment: xsl for the testcase

Comment 15

[Ioana (away)]

Please only reopen this bug if you have a clear case where it reproduces and attach/link a corresponding testcase.
