Hi Frenzel,
The DocBook stylesheets have a lot of parameters that let you control many 
aspects of formatting, and you don't need to know much about XSLT to set 
parameter values on the command line.  However, there isn't a parameter to 
do what you want.  That would require some customization of some DocBook XSL 
templates, which requires knowledge of XSLT.  There is a lot of information 
about how to customize DocBook XSL in my book (available online here):

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

It won't teach you XSLT, though.  If you don't want to climb that learning 
curve, you would find someone that knows XSLT to do the work.

Subject: [docbook] Overview about xml document in html


Hello everyone,

I would like to have an overview about my xml document in HTML that
includes the following in a table:

- chapter title
- chapter ID
- section title
- section ID
- link
- olink
- xref
- image fileref
- figure title
- topic name and topic id for context-sensitive HTML Help

How can I do that? I'm a docbook newbie and I have no notion of XSL.
One of my colleagues has started with:

<xsl:template match="docbook:section">
<li>
<span style="font-weight:bold; ">
<xsl:text>Section: </xsl:text>
</span>
<xsl:for-each select="@xml:id">
<span style="font-style:italic; ">
<xsl:value-of select="string(.)"
/>
</span>
</xsl:for-each>
<span>
<xsl:text>&#160;</xsl:text>
</span>
<xsl:for-each select="docbook:title">
<xsl:apply-templates />
<br/>
<span>
<xsl:text>Anchors: </xsl:text>
</span>
<xsl:for-each select="docbook:anchor">
<span>
<xsl:text>(</xsl:text>
</span>
<xsl:for-each select="@xml:id">
<span
style="font-style:italic; ">
<xsl:value-of
select="string(.)" />
</span>
</xsl:for-each>
<span>
<xsl:text>)</xsl:text>
</span>
</xsl:for-each>
<span>
<xsl:text>,</xsl:text>
</span>
</xsl:for-each>
<xsl:apply-templates
select="child::*[local-name()!='section']//docbook:figure|docbook:figure
" />
<xsl:apply-templates
select="child::*[local-name()!='section'][local-name()!='figure']//docbo
ok:imagedata" />
<xsl:apply-templates
select="child::*[local-name()!='section']//docbook:link|docbook:link" />
<xsl:apply-templates
select="child::*[local-name()!='section']//docbook:xref|docbook:xref" />
<xsl:apply-templates
select="child::*[local-name()!='section']//docbook:olink|docbook:olink"
/>
<ol>
<xsl:apply-templates
select="docbook:section" />
</ol>
</li>
</xsl:template>

Unfortunately he couldn't continue the document and now he's gone. Could
anybody of you help me, please?
