I'm new to the list, but a longtime (closet?) DocBook user. For a
number of years one of the customizations that I've maintained is a
script and javascript that permits a DocBook document to be viewed in
a frames environment with the table of contents on the side, and the
document next to it:
1. Intro | The main part of the document goes here
1.1 bla | and on and on.
2. Good stuff |
+ hidden toc part| Etc.
|
Having the toc always visible certainly makes navigating the document
more pleasant. The toc can have sections collapse and expand etc.
Looks very nice, but HTML frames implementation is undesirable. I
started looking at converting my frames to CSS, but there are lots of
issues:
1. Resizing browser frames is handled by the browser, CSS requires
javascript.
2. CSS cross browser vagaries
3. The DocBook HTML structure is causing my css some gas.
4. etc.
I started looking at various javascript frameworks to get the job
done, then decided I should find out if someone has done something
like what I'm attempting. I didn't find anything, so I'm asking.
Anyone have something that provides good TOC navigation aids for
DocBook documents viewed as HTML? Any better/ alternative ideas?
Aaron.
