Re: [docbook-apps] In webhelp - Trying to add accessible text elements to Prev, Up, and Next

[Bob Stayton <bobs@sagehill.net>]

Hi Rob,
I haven't tested this, but the header for webhelp output is generated by 
a template named "webhelpheader" in webehelp/xsl/webhelp.xsl. You could 
copy that template to your customization layer and modify it as needed.

It looks like the template already outputs the accesskey and href 
attributes.  The other two attributes could be added with:

<xsl:attribute name="class">navheaderTable</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="title">
  <xsl:apply-templates select="$prev" mode="object.title.markup"/>
</xsl:attribute>

If you just want the text of the title and not its numerical label, then 
use mode="title.markup".  Let me know if that doesn't work.
