Thanks Bob (and to David Cramer
for the dbhtml solution).
I have a problem with DB 5, however.
The generated XML TOC file from maketoc.xsl doesn’t seem to be a valid DB5
file. Looking at the latest stylesheets, there doesn’t seem to be any
logic for generating the new <tocdiv> element. I get only
<tocentry> and that’s it.
Here’s a sample of what I
get:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<toc role="chunk-toc">
<tocentry linkend="WhatsNew"><?dbhtml
filename="WhatsNew.html"?>
</tocentry>
<tocentry linkend="Welcome"><?dbhtml
filename="Welcome.html"?>
</tocentry>
<tocentry linkend="IntroductionArticle"><?dbhtml
filename="IntroductionArticle.html"?>
</tocentry>
Maybe I’m not setting a
parameter correctly? But I don’t see how to nest TOC elements when only a
<toc> and <tocentry> elements are generated.
Any ideas?

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.

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.
