No, my point is that you should not blame
xsltproc. When I use xsltproc with html/docbook.xsl, it works as you want
it to. When I use xsltproc with html/chunk.xsl, it adds the index.html
part.
You said you get the same results when you
use the html-nochunks option to xmlto. That sounds wrong. What is
the verbose output when you use html-nochunks? It should use docbook.xsl
instead of chunk.xsl, and you should get no index.html in the
hrefs.

Thanks for looking into it on
your end. I suppose I should properly blame xsltproc, because xmlto is
just a script to call it (and a parser beforehand). For completeness,
included is some screen output:
$
xmlto -vv html temp.xml
Format script:
/usr/share/xmlto/format/docbook/html
Convert to HTML (with chunks)
xmllint >/dev/null --xinclude --postvalid
/home/delanuez/temp/temp.xml
Stylesheet: http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/html/chunk.xsl
xsltproc --nonet --xinclude \
-o /tmp/xmlto.oH2424/temp.proc \
http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/html/chunk.xsl
\
/home/delanuez/temp/temp.xml
Thanks again. I suppose that's that. I can deal. :-)

If you get "index.html" in hrefs, then xmlto is not
working correctly. The html/docbook.xsl stylesheet doesn't know the name
of the output filename, and so cannot insert a filename into the references.
When I process a qandaset document with html/docbook.xsl, all of the
hrefs start with "#".
The bit about the title is because the stylesheets
assume the root element of a document has a title. That usually is not a
bad assumption. 8^)

when making a qandaset into HTML
Thanks for the reply, Bob.
I get the same results using the "html-nochunks"
argument to xmlto but I have to include a title in the qandaset or it won't
work. The verbose option shows me that it is using the current
docbook.xsl sheet (sorry I am not terribly versed in the fine points of
stylesheets).
In any case, the reason that the "index.html" is a problem is that
when I include the .proc file in an HTML file which isn't named index.html...
the links aren't correct. It strikes me as odd default behavior.
It seems to a novice such as I am that for a qandaset the answers are
always going to be in the same chunk (or file) as the questions so a simple
"#id......" would work. In any case, that seems more likely than the
answers being in a file named "index.html".
It's not a big problem because I
manually include the .proc into my HTML file, so one more step is a trivial
amount of extra work. I'm sure there's a smarter way to do this, but
this was the first that occurred to me (though I think someone just asked a
question recently about how to do something similar in a more clever
way?).

Hi
David,
With the
chunking stylesheets, all hrefs start with the filename.html. Otherwise the
stylesheet would have to compute if the target of the cross reference is in
the same chunk as the link text.
I don't understand why the "index.html" in the
href is a problem. Did you try using the nonchunking stylesheet
instead?

[docbook-apps] Question links when making a qandaset into HTML
When I convert to HTML a DB
XML document with qandaset as the root element, the question links at the top
of the resulting .proc page are all of the form "index.html#idxxxxxx".
It seems to me that the "index.html" should not be there. The only
reason I care is because to reproduce on a web site in a quick and dirty way
an FAQ I have in a DB book, this is what I do. Is this a bug or a design
decision I don't understand?
FYI, to the best of my knowledge I am using what the xmlto
script uses in cygwin, namely xsltproc with the current chunk.xsl
stylesheet.
