Re: DOCBOOK-APPS: Creating A TOC automatically

[Carles Canellas <ccanellasc@yahoo.es>]

Forget about a TOC element in docbook if you want a
automatic TOC. The TOC element in docbook is used if
you define your own manual TOC (not very useful,
really).

For automatic TOC, if you're using the XSL
stylesheets, you have to overwrite in your custom
layer some parameters of param.xsl in order to obtain
the desired result. I recomemd you to read the
documentation of the XSLT stylesheets, especially this
one:
http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/doc/html/rn04.html

hope it helps.
