RE: DOCBOOK-APPS: Re: Chunked HTML file names too long for ISO966 0

No, they aren't persistent.  The names are generated based on their position
within the current document.  Have you considered using the <?dbhtml
filename="xxxx.html"?> processing instruction?  If you place this as a child
of the element you are chunking, the stylesheets will use that over the ID.
So, you could have something like:

<chapter id="reallylongdescriptiveid">
 <?dbhtml filename="chap1.html"?>
 ...
</chapter>
<chapter id="shorter">
 ...
</chapter>

Your first chapter would be written to file "chap1.html", and the second
would be written to "shorter.html".

Need, no.  Prefer, yes.

Are these names persistent, if sections change order in the XML
source?
