Re: [docbook-apps] Re: HTML: suppress abstract in html body?

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

Hi Robert,
An abstract that appears inside an info element is handled by the titlepage system. 
You can edit the titlepage spec file to remove abstract, and regenerate the titlepage 
templates to get rid of it.

If your abstract appears outside of info, then you can just define an empty template 
to turn it off:

   <xsl:template match="abstract"/>

The template that generates the meta element does not use a template that matches on 
abstract, but selects the content directly (it is in the template named 'head.content' 
in html/docbook.xsl).

At the risk of trying your patience, I wish to clarify what i mean by
my previous message.

I want the abstract to appear in the <meta description=> of HTML
output but not in the body itself.
