Hi M. Shafie,
Is it possible to use the header/footer parameters elsewhere in the document?
For example, I wanted to use {{document-title}} on my cover page instead of
<xsl:sequence select="$ditacLists/ditac:titlePage/booktitle/mainbooktitle"/>
Also, if I wanted to include the TOC in the page numbering of the entire
document, (ex. from 'page iii of iii' to 'page 3 of n' where n is the last page
of the book) that would involve modifying several of the templates in
pagination.xsl?
Regards,
Caroline

I'm afraid this answer will be almost the same as my previous one.
1) Please use bookmap/frontmatter/booklists to specify where your TOC is
to be generated.
Note that you may add topicrefs pointing to manually written topics
*before* the booklists. See
http://docs.oasis-open.org/dita/dita/v1.3/errata02/os/complete/part2-tech-content/langRef/technicalContent/frontmatter.html
For example:
---
<frontmatter>
<topicref href="BEFORE_TOC.dita"/>
<booklists>
<toc />
</booklists>
<bookabstract href="introduction.dita"/>
</frontmatter>
---
2) Please note that ".ditac" and ".ditac_lists" files are intermediate
files having a proprietary, internal format. As such, you are not
supposed to modify these files.
These files are (partially) documented only because the ditac XSLT
stylesheets are used to transform them to the desired output. See
http://www.xmlmind.com/ditac/_distrib/doc/manual/webhelp3/howItWorks.html
3) How to modify ditac (in any way; including customizing the XSLT
stylesheets) is not part of our support policy. See "Support Policy",
http://www.xmlmind.com/ditac/support_policy.html. That is, I'm not
supposed to suggest solutions to the kind of advanced problems you are
posing.
