/ Nik Clayton <nik@freebsd.org> was heard to say:
| Then Norm changed how he did things. Instead of using a bunch of
| variables, one per (language x element) pair, he created this function
| called gentext-label-title-sep (and others in the same style). I
| suspect this probably makes the DSSSL processing faster, or something.
Well, it certainly reduced the number of variables I had to keep track
of :-)
| The problem with this, from our point of view, is that it's no longer
| possible to override a single entry in our customisation. Instead, to
| fix <warning> and <caution>, I have to duplicate all of the code from
| dbl1en.dsl that defines the en-label-title-sep hash[1] *or* rewrite the
| gentext-en-label-title-sep function so that it special cases <warning>
| and <caution> before it looks in the en-label-title-sep hash.
|
| Neither of which are particularly clean, so I've sort of ignored the
| problem, in the hope that I dream up a better way.
Yeah, I see the problem. Ugh. I think in the short term, you should
redefine the hash.
Be seeing you,
norm
