Hi. I'm relatively new to DocBook, so this may be completely off track.
In short I want to know what the best way is to suppress an element in the processed output.
I have multiple articles that include one <abstract> element per article that is used as a summary of the article. (If I should be using something other than <abstract> please let me know what I should use.) I am then XIncluding the <title> and <abstract> of the articles using XInclude lines with an XPointer referencing the ID of the element to include. This is working just fine.
What I want to know how to do is suppress the output of the <abstract> in the original article when I'm processing it by its self.
I added the <abstract> to the articles for the purpose of being XIncluded elsewhere and I want it to not show up unless it's explicitly referenced. I guess you could look at the <abstract> as meta data for the article that I want there to be used by other DocBooks, not to be used the the article its self.
How would I go about suppressing an element in the individual article(s)? Thanks in advance. Grant. . . . --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
