Hi, The maketoc.xsl mechanism does not generate a toc that follows either the DocBook 4 or 5 schemas. I'm not sure why. It seems to have its own schema. I think tocentry was at some point going to replace the numbered toclevel elements, but it didn't work out that way when DocBook5 was implemented.
The tocentry element generated by maketoc.xsl can nest other tocentry elements, to form the hierarchy like nesting of section elements. Make sure you have set these parameters when you run that stylesheet to indicate the chunking levels you want: chunk.toc.level chunk.first.sections Bob Stayton Sagehill Enterprises [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----- Original Message ----- From: Dennison, Cheri To: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, October 22, 2008 3:33 PM Subject: RE: [docbook-apps] Chunking Based on Attribute Just following up on this question. The DB5 transition guide indicates that the tocchap, toclevel1, toclevel2, etc., elements have been replaced with tocdiv. However, it looks like the 174-ns stylesheets don't use tocdiv anywhere and still have all the logic for processing tocchap, etc. *Should* the maketoc.xsl be writing something with just flat tocentry elements (like in the example below), or should it be writing something with tocchap, toclevel1, etc., or should it be writing something with tocdiv elements? Has maketoc.xsl ever written a nested TOC (before or after DocBook5)? Hope I'm making sense. Thanks! cheri From: Marvin, Scot [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, October 15, 2008 10:22 AM To: Bob Stayton; [email protected] Subject: RE: [docbook-apps] Chunking Based on Attribute Thanks Bob (and to David Cramer for the dbhtml solution). I have a problem with DB 5, however. The generated XML TOC file from maketoc.xsl doesn't seem to be a valid DB5 file. Looking at the latest stylesheets, there doesn't seem to be any logic for generating the new <tocdiv> element. I get only <tocentry> and that's it. Here's a sample of what I get: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <toc role="chunk-toc"> <tocentry linkend="WhatsNew"><?dbhtml filename="WhatsNew.html"?> </tocentry> <tocentry linkend="Welcome"><?dbhtml filename="Welcome.html"?> </tocentry> <tocentry linkend="IntroductionArticle"><?dbhtml filename="IntroductionArticle.html"?> </tocentry> Maybe I'm not setting a parameter correctly? But I don't see how to nest TOC elements when only a <toc> and <tocentry> elements are generated. Any ideas?

However, you could implement something like this using a two-step process. The chunking stylesheet supports chunking based on an external chunk TOC, as described in the section titled "Manually control chunking" in this reference: http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/Chunking.html#ControllingChunks You could create a custom XSL that extracts such a TOC from your document based on your role attribute, and then use that TOC to chunk the document in the second step.

For example, I want to chunk all sections that have a role="chunkHere", but these sections might appear at many nested levels. I don't want to chunk sections that have no such attribute, regardless of their nesting level. Does that make sense? Thanks for any help you can offer. -Scot
