Re: [docbook-apps] Use id instead of name in onechunk?

Hi,
You can set the stylesheet parameter 'generate.id.attributes' to 1 to get that 
result.  That causes the stylesheet to generate id attributes instead of named 
anchors.

Hi:

I'd like to generate the following HTML. Note the presence of the ID attribute.

  <div class="section" title="Getting Started">
              <div class="titlepage">
                  <div>
                      <div>
                          <h2 class="title" style="clear: both">
                              <a id="gettingStartedTopic"></a>Getting Started
                          </h2>
                      </div>
                  </div>
              </div>
from the following XML

  <section id="&idGettingStarted;">
          <title>Getting Started</title>

As you know, the ONECHUNK stylesheet generates the following HTML. Note the 
presence of the NAME attribute.


  <div class="section" title="Getting Started">
              <div class="titlepage">
                  <div>
                      <div>
                          <h2 class="title" style="clear: both">
                              <a name="gettingStartedTopic"></a>Getting Started
                          </h2>
                      </div>
                  </div>
              </div>

The issue is that I want to present this document using Javascript. There 
exists no "getElementByName" that is the equivalent of the DOM query method 
getElementById(). 

As a workaround, I run the generated HTML through a post-processor to replace 
all name attribute names with the id attribute name.
