positioning toc

[Frank Arensmeier <frank@nikemedia.se>]

Hello all.

I am rather new to docbook and in the middle of taking one step at a  
time to the final result. Basically, I am working on a system for  
producing and maintaining operating instructions in several different  
languages.

Right now I'm stuck though. My idea is to produce a single pdf file  
(docbook xsl -> fo -> pdf) that can contain up to 12 translations. I  
am rather close to what I want, but the thing that gives me headaches  
is the toc. On page 2, I have a basic toc with a list of languages  
including page numbers only (no problem here). I was able to  
accomplish that by adding the following snippet to my customization  
layer:

<xsl:template match="article" mode="toc">
   <xsl:param name="toc-context" select="."/>
   <xsl:call-template name="toc.line"/>
</xsl:template>

But I also want a toc generated at the beginning of each article that  
is part of the xml document. And I have no clue how to do that. Google  
was not my friend this time, I am afraid. If there is anybody willing  
to share some ideas, I would be delighted.

Here is the basic outline of my source XML document:

<part>
	<title>Product XY</title>
	<subtitle>
		<itemizedlist>
			<listitem lang="en">Operating instructions</listitem>
			<listitem lang="de">Bedienungsanleitung</listitem>
			...
		</itemizedlist>
	</subtitle>
	<article lang="en">
		<title>Some title</title>
		<subtitle>Some subtitle</subtitle>
		<section>
			<title></title>
			<subtitle></subtitle>
			<para></para>
			...
		</section>
	</article>
	<article lang="de">
		<title>Some title</title>
		<subtitle>Some subtitle</subtitle>
		<section>
			<title></title>
			<subtitle></subtitle>
			<para></para>
			...
		</section>
	</article>
</part>

Thank you.
