Re: [docbook-apps] toc customization question

[Richard Hamilton <hamilton@xmlpress.net>]

Tim,

I'm not 100% sure what you're trying to do, but it looks like you're trying to control what levels in the structure get TOCs. This is controlled through a parameter called generate.toc, and you shouldn't need to customize any templates to assign TOCs at various levels in the structure.

You can find a description of how to set generate.toc in Bob Stayton's book. Here is a link to the pertinent section:

http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/TOCcontrol.html

If I'm missing something, and you need to do something more, you will find a complete description of TOC customization in that same section.

I hope that helps.

Best Regards,
Dick Hamilton
