Re: [docbook] TOC with parents

[Aristedes Maniatis <ari@ish.com.au>]

Thanks for your help, but the webhelp output was just way too different. So I've struggled to try and modify the TOC output from docbook. But nothing I try seems to be able to customise it. Even when I try:

<xsl:import href="@rootDir@/build/xslt/docbook/html/chunk.xsl"/>

    <xsl:template name="section.toc" mode="toc">
        <xsl:text>******************</xsl:text>
    </xsl:template>

    <xsl:template match="section/toc" mode="toc">
    <xsl:text>******************</xsl:text>
    </xsl:template>

with or without the mode (I don't really understand how the mode is used in XSLT).

I'm a bit confused by the presence of both toc.xsl and autotoc.xsl. But nothing I try seems to allow me to modify them.

I have no problem modifying other things like <xsl:template name="user.head.content">


I feel like I'm missing something really obvious.
