Subject: Tripane output


Has anyone on this list created a tripane (X)HTML output from DocBook XML? Something like this (the "live version" is here):

Tripane example

That would be:
  • Book title and navigation buttons (prev/next) in top pane
  • TOC in left pane
  • Contents in right pane (chunked XHTML)
  • Legalese in bottom right pane

Bob's fine book explains how to create similar output with frames (http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/OtherOutputForms.html#Xhtml), but I need to use something more modern (<div>s). With the DocBook style sheets, the XHTML created via xsltproc contains lots of <div> containers. Those <div>s don't have IDs, but that's a fairly straightforward fix using a customization layer. Once they have IDs, the respective portions of the XHMTL can be displayed in the appropriate <div> containers.

The tough thing is to display the TOC in the left <div> at all times. In our current XHTML output, the TOC is just on the start page.

Has anyone done something similar already? Any pointers appreciated!
