Subject: Re: [docbook-apps] processing chapters in parallel


Hi Tim,
Actually, you could generate the book's TOC from the information in the olink 
database.  The <div> elements have the same nested structure as the book, and the 
title and hrefs are there.

Regarding the chapter numbers, those could be looked up without being passed in 
individually.  If your stylesheet opens the olink database, it could use xpath to 
locate the div whose @element is chapter and whose @targetptr matches the chapter id 
attribute that is currently being processed.  The templates in common/olink.xsl show 
how to open it and access elements from it.

Since the chapter number might be used in several places (figure and table numbers, 
section numbers), you should customize the template with match="chapter" and 
mode="label.markup" to output the chapter number from the olink database.  That mode 
is used by all the templates that need the chapter number.
