Re: [docbook-apps] Chunking Based on Attribute

Hi,

There is no direct support in the HTML chunking stylesheet to chunk based on attributes.  However, you could implement something like this using a two-step process.  The chunking stylesheet supports chunking based on an external chunk TOC, as described in the section titled "Manually control chunking" in this reference:

You could create a custom XSL that extracts such a TOC from your document based on your role attribute, and then use that TOC to chunk the document in the second step.

Subject: [docbook-apps] Chunking Based on Attribute

Sorry if this is explained elsewhere, but is there a way I can chunk sections based on their attribute, regardless of how deeply they are nested?

 

For example, I want to chunk all sections that have a role=”chunkHere”, but these sections might appear at many nested levels. I don’t want to chunk sections that have no such attribute, regardless of their nesting level.

 

Does that make sense? Thanks for any help you can offer.
