I'm a little bit disappointed that there weren't any more responses to
this question (besides Dick's very useful suggestion).
Do most people publishing DocBook in (X)HTML use the output as the
entire page page on the server? I would think the opposite, that most
people would *include* the docbook output in the templating system of a
site.
Tidy is one way forward. But can't we do a little better by outputting
only the useful content (the content of the body element, most likely)
for inclusion in a page?
Thanks,
Brett

Brett,
I needed to do the same thing, but I cheated and used tidy
with the following configuration file:
show-body-only: yes
output-xhtml: yes
You can also merge <divs> and clean up other artifacts
pretty easily.
I'm sure there's a way to do this in the transform, but if
you need a quick fix, tidy works pretty well. If you're not
familiar with tidy, check out tidy.sourceforge.net.

Subject: [docbook-apps] suppressing everything but the
content of <body> in xhtml output
Hello,
I'd like to output only the content of the xhtml document's
<body> (ie,
no <html>, <head>, or <body> tags). I found an old post that
seemed to
be what I needed, but the XSL customization didn't work for
me (granted,
it's 5 years old):

I'm using the DocBook 5 stylesheets, and xhtml/docbook.xsl. Any hints?
thanks,
Brett
