Subject: Re: [docbook-apps] html output: removing unneeded body attributes?


Hi Robert,
The body attributes come from a template dedicated to that purpose.  See the template 
named 'body.attributes' in html/docbook.xsl.  If you define that as an empty template 
in your customization layer, you will get no body attributes.

Note that these attributes are defined in a template and not in an xsl:attribute-set. 
The problem with attribute-set is that custom attribute sets are merged with the 
original.  There is no way for an attribute-set in a customization layer to turn off 
an attribute entirely once it has been defined in an attribute-set.  You can override 
the value, or set the value to 'inherit' or something, but you cannot eliminate the 
attribute.  Using a template avoids that problem.

There is one attribute in body.attributes that you might want to keep.  If you are 
producing any documents that read right to left (Hebrew or Arabic, for example), then 
keep the 'dir' attribute as defined there so the HTML will display properly for those 
languages.
