Hi,

a while ago the big search engines introduce the rel="canonical attribute in the header to identify the "main" content webpage, especially useful if you have a chunks version and a single page version of your HTML content.

This is something which should go into the <head> section and may be different per DocBook document. It would look like the following:

link rel="canonical" href="" href="http://www.example.com/product.php?item=swedish-fish">http://www.example.com/product.php?item=swedish-fish" />

Details can be found here:

Is this available in Docbook and considered by the XLST Stylesheets?

Best regards, Lars
