Subject: Re: [docbook-apps] suppressing everything but the content of <body> in xhtml output
Hi, It's possible with customization. If it is commonly done, it could be incorporated as a feature. Got a name for this? Naked HTML? You will need to customize the template that generates the HTML wrapper elements. If you are using the nonchunking stylesheet, you want to customize the template with mode="process.root" in html/docbook.xsl. If you are using the chunking stylesheet, you need customize the template named chunk-element-content in html/chunk-common.xsl. In both cases, you want to eliminate all those parts of the template that output the HTML elements you do not want. If you want to eliminate just the HEAD, then remove the literal <head> and </head> tags and their content. If you want completely bare content, then remove the <html>, <head>, and <body> tags, as well as the template calls that fill the <head> element and generate the header and footer. There will not be much left. For example, process.root could end up looking like the following: <xsl:template match="*" mode="process.root"> <xsl:call-template name="root.messages"/> <xsl:apply-templates select="."/> </xsl:template> Bob Stayton Sagehill Enterprises DocBook Consulting bobs@sagehill.net ----- Original Message ----- From: "Brett Leber" <bleber+@cs.cmu.edu> To: <docbook-apps@lists.oasis-open.org> Sent: Friday, June 15, 2007 2:01 PM 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?
