Re: [docbook-apps] Html: suppressing separate titlepage for book/article

That worked a charm - exactly what I wanted.

I have been working on the basis of using a customised layer, which didn't 
work at all.

But - I'd like to know why it didn't.  I assume that the order in which the 
stylesheets get imported is important, so why can't I do something like this:

<?xml version="1.0"?> <!-- -*- sgml -*- -->
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"; 
version="1.0">
<xsl:import 
href="http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/html/docbook.xsl"/>
<xsl:import 
href="http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/html/chunk-common.xsl"/>
<xsl:import 
href="http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/html/manifest.xsl"/>
<xsl:import 
href="http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/html/chunk-code.xsl"/>

<xsl:import href="my-chunk-code.xsl"/>
...
</xsl:stylesheet>

and have 'my-chunk-code.xsl' contain just this:

<!-- Dec. 1 2005: edited to removed 'article' and 'refentry -->
<!-- so that no separate titlepage gets generated -->
<xsl:template match="set|book|part|preface|chapter|appendix
                     |reference
                     |book/glossary|article/glossary|part/glossary
                     |book/bibliography|article/bibliography|part/bibliography
                     |colophon">
  <xsl:choose>
    <xsl:when test="$onechunk != 0 and parent::*">
      <xsl:apply-imports/>
    </xsl:when>
    <xsl:otherwise>
      <xsl:call-template name="process-chunk-element"/>
    </xsl:otherwise>
  </xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>

To my mind, this _should_ work - but in fact what I get is: nothing!
No pages at all :(

Regards,

Donna
