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.
