Subject: Re: [docbook-apps] suppressing everything but the content of <body>in xhtml output
I'm a little bit disappointed that there weren't any more responses to this question (besides Dick's very useful suggestion). Do most people publishing DocBook in (X)HTML use the output as the entire page page on the server? I would think the opposite, that most people would *include* the docbook output in the templating system of a site. Tidy is one way forward. But can't we do a little better by outputting only the useful content (the content of the body element, most likely) for inclusion in a page?
