Thank you once again for your past help but may I ask one more question.
Is it possible to include the value of the ID attribute in the footer?
No. You are limited to the {{XXX}} variables. See
http://www.xmlmind.com/ditac/_distrib/doc/manual/xsltParams.html#xsltParams__header_footer_spec
I tried changing my data to use the ID field as the topic title with the "real title"
as <navtitle> and then placing {{topic-title}} in the footer. I thought that setting
loctitle = true would force the use of the navtitle in the body of the document, and so give
the result I want, but this does not work.
A locked navtitle is currently used:
* in the automatically generated TOC of the document.
* as a ``running header'' (which is what you want).
I've retested this and it works fine.
The variables which are used to specify ``running headers'' (or footers)
are {{chapter-title}} and {{section1-title}}, not {{topic-title}}.
{{topic-title}} is substituted with the actual title of the topic and
not by its navtitle.
Therefore if you use a bookmap, specify {{chapter-title}} and
{{section1-title}} in your header/footer XSLT parameters.
And if you use a plain map, specify {{section1-title}} in your
header/footer XSLT parameters. Note that with a plain map, the ``running
header'' captures the text of only the topmost topics of the map (that
is, ``section1'' topics).
