Re: [docbook-apps] Changing toc parameter values by chapter
If you are using the XSLT 1 stylesheets, then placing an empty element where you want a TOC, and setting the 'process.empty.source.toc' stylesheet param to 1 will generate a TOC for that element. It applies to hierarchy elements like chapter and section, but not arbitrary elements. https://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/doc/fo/process.empty.source.toc.html Changing the behavior of each TOC would require customization of the templates in the DocBook toc.xsl stylesheet module that match on the toc element, such as: so they respond to a processing instruction or attribute setting in the way you want. I would not classify that as an "easy" way, though.

There’s also an m:toc mode that would allow you to control which elements get a ToC more programmatically: https://xsltng.docbook.org/guide/2.1.3/m_toc.html Be seeing you, norm -- Norm Tovey-Walsh https://norm.tovey-walsh.com/ > The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of > meeting the schedule has been forgotten. signature.asc Description: PGP signature
[docbook-apps] Changing toc parameter values by chapter
It appears to me that the parameters that control the placement and content of tocs apply at a document level. What I am wondering is if it is possible to to set different values for 'generate.toc', 'toc.section.depth', 'toc.max.dept' etc for different chapters/appendices?
