Re: [docbook] Chunking XHTML without navigation for book "part" tags

["Bob Stayton" <bobs@sagehill.net>]

Hi,
To do this, you would need to copy and modify the two large templates named 
'chunk.first.section.with.parent' and 'chunk.all.sections' from xhtml/chunk-common.xsl 
to your chunking customization layer.  Those two templates compute the Next and 
Previous links using big select statements in variables named "next" and "prev".  In 
those variables, you will see that the list of elements includes "part", so you need 
to remove it:

|preceding::d:part[1]

You need to leave those selections where part is used in a predicate (in square 
brackets) to quality another element, such as:

|preceding::bibliography[parent::article or parent::book or parent::part][1]

Those variables are only used for the next and prev links, and not the chunking or TOC 
lists.
