Subject: Re: [docbook-apps] How to label a table when transforming to HTML?


There is an existing RFE on SourceForge to output ids:

https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=824971&group_id=21935&atid=373750

I think it will probably be toggled by a stylesheet parameter.

There is one complication with doing this with tables.
In DocBook CALS tables, you can have several tgroup elements
in a table element.  Each tgroup is output as an HTML table element.
The stylesheet would have to look at the parent of the tgroup
to find the id for that HTML table.  But ids must be unique,
so what do think should happen if a table has multiple tgroups?
