The outer div with the class="titlepage" is fine. But why are there two
inner divs? As they have neither a class nor an id attribute they seem
to be superfluous. Wouldn't it make more sense if the XSL stylesheets
didn't generate them?
Well, yes and no. :) They seem to be unnecessary but that's the design of
the DocBook stylesheets. Sometimes it's just a "wrapper" for other
content. If the content is not there, it just creates that "useless" div.
As far as I remember, according to Bob, there is a "cleanup step" needed,
if you want to get rid of these unnecessary divs.
I managed to produce a customization layer which doesn't generate
superfluous wrapper divs. While I had to copy and customize a few
templates the ones where I had to remove hardcoded divs were in the
sect1.titlepage and title with mode="sect1.titlepage.recto.auto.mode".
While looking around in the XSL stylesheets I saw something like this:
<xsl:variable name="recto.content">
<xsl:call-template name="sect1.titlepage.before.recto"/>
<xsl:call-template name="sect1.titlepage.recto"/>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:if test="(normalize-space($recto.content) != '') or
($recto.elements.count > 0)">
<div><xsl:copy-of select="$recto.content"/></div>
</xsl:if>
Here the div is only printed if there is content? Is there any code to
check if there are any attributes in an attribute set? Then the div tag in
the following template could be printed dynamically, too:
<xsl:template match="d:title" mode="sect1.titlepage.recto.auto.mode">
<div xsl:use-attribute-sets="sect1.titlepage.recto.style">
<xsl:apply-templates select="." mode="sect1.titlepage.recto.mode"/>
</div>
</xsl:template>
As the attribute set sect1.titlepage.recto.style is empty by default that
might be a superfluous div for many users?
[...]If you want to get really into this matter, you can copy the
respective
template into your customization layer and insert a xsl:message at the
beginning. With the help of this element you can see if your template is
activated or not.
Thanks, that makes finding the right templates a bit easier.
