Re: [docbook-apps] TOC entries for Apendices

["Bob Stayton" <bobs@sagehill.net>]

Hi Ron,
As you discovered, the default output for article/appendix is to include a
label such as:

A. Title of the appendix

I need to update my book.

Regarding the customization, that variable needs to be inside the
customization of the template named toc.line.  See the example in the book.

Also, the call to the template named 'gentext' is what generates the word
"Appendix" from the local file.  You don't also need the xsl:text element to
output Appendix.
