multiple templates for a single tag?

[Webmaster <Webmaster@comtrol.com>]

Hi Bob, Oh. boy. I sure hope you can follow this email. I'm chunking my xml.
I traced the calls to make.toc for the book element, and I'm finding several
templates for "book" that have no mode distinctions.

one is in chunk_code.xsl that calls process-chunk-element
one is in division.xsl that calls the titlepage and make.lots, make.tocs
one in chunk_code.xsl and docbook.xsl called "/" which should catch book -
right?
one in docbook.xsl called "*" which is also "catches" the book - right?

It seems to me division.xsl SHOULD be called, cause it's the last one. But
chunk_code's template is clearly called when chunking.

And it seems to me that the only template that calls make.toc is the one
found in divisions.xsl, and that chunk_code's template does not. 

So, it seems that chuck-code's template is called, then division's template
is called then docbook's templates are called. Am I on the right track? or
am I missing some fundamental XSL knowledge?

If all of them have to be called, how do I write a customization for
multiple templates of the same name? I get an "ambiguous template name"
error. Do I need several customization xsl files?

Thanks!

LN

Thank you, Perfect! That's what I needed!

I'm also trying to get the "next" "prev" thing to work too. Any clues into
that?  Thanks to all who work on docbook - it's awesome!

Hi,
Take a look in html/autotoc.xsl.  A toc for HTML is created by calling the 
'make.toc' template with a parameter names 'nodes' that selects what 
elements to include at the next level of toc.  You will need to customize 
the select statement to include your new element names.

And then you will need to create a new match template for each element in 
mode="toc" that handles that element.  Since your elements are parallel to 
existing elements, you should be able to trace through how book, chapter, 
and section are handled to add your new element names.
