<refsect1><title>Description</title>
<para>This template takes a list of media objects (usually the
children of a mediaobject or inlinemediaobject) and determines
the "right" object. It returns the position of that object
to be used by the calling template.</para>
<para>If the parameter <parameter>use.role.for.mediaobject</parameter>
is nonzero, then it first checks for an object with
a role attribute of the appropriate value. It takes the first
of those. Otherwise, it takes the first acceptable object
through a recursive pass through the list.</para>
<para>This template relies on a template named "is.acceptable.mediaobject"
to determine if a given object is an acceptable graphic. The semantics
of media objects is that the first acceptable graphic should be used.

<refpurpose>Returns localized choice separator</refpurpose>
</refnamediv>
<refsynopsisdiv>
<synopsis>&lt;xsl:template name="select.choice.separator"/&gt;</synopsis>
</refsynopsisdiv>
<refsect1><title>Description</title>
<para>This template enables auto-generation of an appropriate
localized "choice" separator (for example, "and" or "or") before
the final item in an inline list (though it could also be useful
for generating choice separators for non-inline lists).</para>
<para>It currently works by evaluating a processing instruction
(PI) of the form &lt;?dbchoice choice="foo"?&gt; :
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<simpara>if the value of the <tag>choice</tag>
pseudo-attribute is "and" or "or", returns a localized "and"
or "or"</simpara>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<simpara>otherwise returns the literal value of the
<tag>choice</tag> pseudo-attribute</simpara>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
The latter is provided only as a temporary workaround because the
locale files do not currently have translations for the word
<wordasword>or</wordasword>. So if you want to generate a a
logical "or" separator in French (for example), you currently need
to do this:
<literallayout>&lt;?dbchoice choice="ou"?&gt;</literallayout>
</para>
<warning>
<para>The <tag>dbchoice</tag> processing instruction is
an unfortunate hack; support for it may disappear in the future
(particularly if and when a more appropriate means for marking
up "choice" lists becomes available in DocBook).</para>

literal string <literal>$info</literal> string is replaced with
