<title>Introduction</title>
<para>This is technical reference documentation for the “refentry
metadata” templates in the DocBook XSL Stylesheets.</para>
<para>This is not intended to be user documentation. It is provided
for developers writing customization layers for the stylesheets.</para>
<note>
<para>Currently, only the manpages stylesheets make use of these
templates. They are, however, potentially useful elsewhere.</para>

<refsect1><title>Description</title>
<para>Reference documentation for particular commands, functions,
etc., is sometimes viewed in isolation from its greater "context". For
example, users view Unix man pages as, well, individual pages, not as
part of a "book" of some kind. Therefore, it is sometimes necessary to
embed "context" information in output for each <tag>refentry</tag>.</para>
<para>However, one problem is that different users mark up that
context information in different ways. Often (usually), the
context information is not actually part of the content of the
<tag>refentry</tag> itself, but instead part of the content of a
parent or ancestor element to the <tag>refentry</tag>. And
even then, DocBook provides a variety of elements that users might
potentially use to mark up the same kind of information. One user
might use the <tag>productnumber</tag> element to mark up version
information about a particular product, while another might use
the <tag>releaseinfo</tag> element.</para>
<para>Taking all that in mind, the
<function>get.refentry.metadata</function> template tries to gather
metadata from a <tag>refentry</tag> element and its ancestor
elements in an intelligent and user-configurable way. The basic
mechanism used in the XPath expressions throughout this stylesheet
is to select the relevant metadata from the *info element that is
closest to the actual <tag>refentry</tag>  either on the
<tag>refentry</tag> itself, or on its nearest ancestor.</para>
<note>
<para>The <function>get.refentry.metadata</function>
template is actually just sort of a "driver" template; it
calls other templates that do the actual data collection,
then returns the data as a set.</para>

<para>The <literal>man(7)</literal> man page describes this as "the
source of the command", and provides the following examples:
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>For binaries, use something like: GNU, NET-2, SLS
Distribution, MCC Distribution.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>For system calls, use the version of the kernel that you are
currently looking at: Linux 0.99.11.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>For library calls, use the source of the function: GNU, BSD
4.3, Linux DLL 4.4.1.</para>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
</para>
<para>The <literal>solbook(5)</literal> man page describes
something very much like what <literal>man(7)</literal> calls
"source", except that <literal>solbook(5)</literal> names it
"software" and describes it like this:
<blockquote>
<para>This is the name of the software product that the topic
discussed on the reference page belongs to. For example UNIX
commands are part of the <literal>SunOS x.x</literal>
release.</para>
</blockquote>
</para>
<para>In practice, there are many pages that simply have a version
number in the "source" field. So, it looks like what we have is a
two-part field,
<replaceable>Name</replaceable> <replaceable>Version</replaceable>,
where:
<variablelist>
<varlistentry>
<term>Name</term>
<listitem>
<para>product name (e.g., BSD) or org. name (e.g., GNU)</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>Version</term>
<listitem>
<para>version name</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
</variablelist>
Each part is optional. If the <replaceable>Name</replaceable> is a
product name, then the <replaceable>Version</replaceable> is probably
the version of the product. Or there may be no
<replaceable>Name</replaceable>, in which case, if there is a
<replaceable>Version</replaceable>, it is probably the version of the
item itself, not the product it is part of. Or, if the
<replaceable>Name</replaceable> is an organization name, then there
probably will be no <replaceable>Version</replaceable>.
