Subject: Re: [docbook-apps] suppressing everything but the content of <body>in xhtml output
Bob, Thanks for the reply. I would say it's commonly done, but that is only my suspicion based on what I've seen on the Web. "Naked HTML" makes sense, although it doesn't convey that the output is an HTML fragment. (Plus some identify "naked" HTML as HTML with no CSS.) I like the explicit "content-of-body" or "body-only", or the Tidy parameter "show-body-only". Your XSL works, but I get the following at the top of the file, which I'd also like to suppress: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE div PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd";>\ How can I do that?
