Chunking dedication element for epub

[Xmplar <info@xmplar.biz>]

I have a report with dedication elements used for acknowledgments and executive summary. Currently, the acknowledgments and executive summary appear in the index.html chunk (following the titlepage recto and verso content). I want to create a separate chunk for each of the acknowledgments and executive summary, and have added to a customised stylesheet the templates <xsl:template name="chunk"> (to define dedication as a chunk), the template <xsl:template match="*" mode="recursive-chunk-filename" priority="1"> (to define a filename prefix for dedication) and the template match:

  <xsl:template match="d:set|
    d:book|
    d:part|
    d:dedication|
    d:preface|
    d:chapter|
    d:appendix|
    d:article|
    d:reference|
    d:refentry|
    d:book/d:glossary|
    d:article/d:glossary|
    d:part/d:glossary|
    d:bibliography|
    d:colophon"
    priority="1">      

    <xsl:choose>
      <xsl:when test="$onechunk != 0 and parent::*">
        <xsl:apply-imports/>
      </xsl:when>
      <xsl:otherwise>
        <xsl:call-template name="process-chunk-element"/>
      </xsl:otherwise>
    </xsl:choose>
  </xsl:template>

While the customisation creates chunks for both acknowledgments and executive summary, this last template has the effect of:

1.       Not including titles for both new chunks (although the content is there)

2.       Not generating any tocs and lots chunks (I have set the book toc with separate lots for figures, tables, etc)

3.       Removing all content from index.html.

… and I haven’t even looked at what’s happening with the OPF and NCX files yet.

I’ve tried to trace the chunking template logic starting with the template match coding above to see where I need to add the dedication element to the relevant coding – I’ve added it to <xsl:template name="chunk-first-section-with-parent" priority="1"> and <xsl:template name="chunk-all-sections" priority="1"> .

I hope there is a straightforward solution, otherwise can someone help to debug my customisations – my other option is to try manual chunking using the maketoc.xsl procedure in TCG. I’m using 1.76.1-ns.

Thanks,
