Hi Robert,
The body element is easy, see:
http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/BodyAtts.html
For tables, not so easy. You would need to copy this template from
xhtml/table.xsl to your customization layer:
<xsl:template match="d:tgroup" name="tgroup">
(remove the d: namespace if you are using DocBook 4 instead of DocBook 5).
That is the template that generates the <table> element for CALS tables.
Unfortunately, it is a pretty big template because of all the other attributes
it handles. You would need to add something like this after the opening table
tag:
<xsl:if test="@userlevel">
<xsl:attribute name="userlevel">
<xsl:value-of select="@userlevel"/>
</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:if>

Subject: [docbook-apps] Adding custom attributes to body and table
Hi
I'm using DocBook XSL stylesheets to generate XHTML files. I would like my
output HTML files to contain some custom attributes, mainly for the body and
table elements.
For the body element, the value of the attribute is always the same so it
could be hardcoded into stylesheets. So the question is how could I add
xyz="abc" do the body element in output XHTML files?
For tables, I would like to pass the value of a custom parameter from the
source XML file. For example, I would like to pass the value of the userlevel
attribute specified for the informaltable element to the output, i.e.
from the source XML <informaltable userlevel="cba">
to the output html <table xyz="cba">
How could I do this?
Regards,
Robert
