Title: RE: [docbook-apps] reprinting the toc -a website hack

Hi! Thank you for your responses. I was out this weekend so I couldn't respond.

David, I just took a look at eclipse - what a great project! I'll have to keep that in mind for some other future project of ours, but in this particular case, I need to have these pages running off of a CD, and I don't think eclipse would work...

Doug, if you could send me your stylesheets that would be great!

I have customized the DocBook-xsl-1.66.0 html stylesheets to include
support for website within chunk.xsl

Basically, you can add a docbook book/part/article to your tabular
website and have the website table of contents cascade down through
all the chunked chapters/sections etc.

It can work for a stand alone document, but it needs work to cater
for the document root/home node.

If you would like to experiment, let me know because I have nowhere to put
it and I suspect it is not a nice snug fit with the current and future
stylesheet distributions.
