Re: [docbook-apps] Simple test for chunked and non-chunked output?

[Bob Stayton <bobs@sagehill.net>]

There is no global parameter that I know of that can inform you, but you 
can easily add your own.  Since you are customizing for both single and 
chunked output, you probably structured your stylesheets in two levels 
as described in my book:

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

If so, in your "mydocbook.xsl" equivalent (containing customizations for 
single output), you could declare a global parameter like this:

<xsl:param name="chunked.document">no</xsl:param>

and reset that in your "mychunk.xsl" equivalent (containing chunking 
customizations) as:

<xsl:param name="chunked.document">yes</xsl:param>

Then that parameter value will be different when you use mydocbook.xsl 
or mychunk.xsl.
