Are you talking about getting separate html files for sections ? That's done with the chunker, and there are parameters in the xsl stylesheets to control the granularity of the chunks. I can't see how css relates to pages, but may be you are talking about something entirely different. no, i'm just explaining this badly. yes, i'm referring to chunking. as a basis for my first docbook manual, i used tim waugh's selfdocbookx example. one of the .xsl files refers to a .css file, so i figured i'd add a page-break-before directive in that file to break before every section. didn't work. as it stands, each first-level section is generated as a chunk, when i'd really like *every* section directive to define a new chunk. i've read everything i can find, and haven't figured out how to fix this. You might want to check out the DocBook XSL doc that I'm writing. It's currently unfinished, but does have a section on chunking. http://www.sagehill.net/xml/docbookxsl/index.html My intended audience is folks like you that are just getting started.

I'd suggest the index in docbook, the definitive guide, though perhaps a seperate index into the book might be a good addition, I use the table of contents in docbook which is complete, when I want to hunt out a particular element.

Check the section Logical Divisions: The Categories of Elements in DocBook in Chapter 2 Creating DocBook Documents in DocBook TDG, though the list is not exhaustive: http://www.docbook.org/tdg/en/html/ch02.html#ch02-logdiv I also made something humble based on the above, but the list is rather simplified, and has only major elements: http://www.ts-cyberia.net/docbook.html hmmm ... not sure how i missed that section in the book. duh. what would be really useful is a foldout reference card. but now i'm dreaming. rday

Not grouped like that AFAIK, Norm? Bob? If Norm has tdg id values marking the sections/pages it could easily be linked via olink to tdg? I think that would make a very useful addition to the documentation. Regards DaveP
