Hi, The syntax you want is: <xsl:attribute name="id"> <xsl:call-template name="object.id"/> </xsl:attribute>
The template named "object.id" is a DocBook XSL utility template for getting the id or xml:id of the current element. To implement this in a customization layer, you should copy the template named 'toc.line' from html/autotoc.xsl to your customization layer and change it there.

The ID value is simply taken from the xml:id value of the respective XML source tag I need a nudge in the right direction. When I take a peek inside the DocBook dragon, er, rather, collection of .xsl files, I find that docbook-xsl-ns-1.75.1/html/autotoc.xsl in the html folder seems to be responsible for the TOC generation. I also see that line 318* right after the <span> nicely adds a class name to the enclosing span such that <span class="sect1"> and so forth is written. *<xsl:attribute name="class"><xsl:value-of select="local-name(.)"/></xsl:attribute> I am guessing that if I add a similar line right after the subsequent <a>, I can get what I'm after. Something like: <xsl:attribute name="id"><xsl:value-of select="???"/></xsl:attribute> But my question is, what do I add in for ??? And my other question is, is there a way to handle this in the customization layer? -Tom Dobbs
