Re: [docbook-apps] Docbook XSL to HTMLHelp Question: Article title does not appear in the left side tab list contents window

["Bob Stayton" <bobs@sagehill.net>]

Hi Scott,
I think the basic problem is that article is not a valid child of section 
(or even of chapter). In the DocBook DTD, article can be a child of book or 
part.  An XSL processor does not do validation, so perhaps you thought it 
was valid because it did not report it as invalid.  But the stylesheets are 
not written to handle invalid content, although sometimes they may work, 
just not quite as expected.  Perhaps your article content could be put into 
a sidebar instead, which is a valid child of section.

Jirka
Thanks for your prompt reply.  Here is the doc structure:

<set><title>FP Notebook</title>
<book><title>Cardiovascular Medicine</title>
<chapter><title>Arrhythmia</title>
<section><title>Miscellaneous</title>
<article><title>Sudden Cardiac Death</title>
<section><title>See Also</title>

I have tried use chapter as the top level and eliminating the sections, but
this hasn't seemed to make a difference in the transformation.  I have also
tried shifting the hierarchy up by moving "chapter" up to "part" and
"section" up to "chapter."  Finally, I've tried using sect1 and sect2
instead of section.  No luck.

By the way, do you recommend one of those other structure options instead 
of
the one I have above (4700 articles in ~2000 sub-chapters in 640 chapters 
in
31 books)?

What is the structure of your document? What element encloses your 
articles?
