This article contains 2 sections, first is about "foo" and second is about "bar". I want to convert this article to two HTML pages. The first HTML page should tell you everything about "bar" and nothing about "foo", and the second HTML page just the opposite. Here's how to do it: [1] Add attribute condition="foo" to first section. Then add attribute condition="bar" to second section. There are attributes other than "condition" that are used for profiling. More information in http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/ [2] Using XXE v3.6, select menu item "Options|Customize Configuration|Change Document Conversion Parameters". [a] Select Group of parameters called "Convert to single page HTML". [b] Add parameter "profile.condition" with value "bar". See attached screen shot. [c] Click OK. [3] Now the *tricky* part (We forgot to implement that in v3.6. Sorry, this will be fixed in next release): [a] Use notepad and open "XXE_user_preferences_dir/custom/~44oc~42ook/conf" * XXE_user_preferences_dir is $HOME/.xxe/ on Linux/Mac and %APPDATA%/\XMLmind\XMLEditor\ on Windows. [b] the contents of this file is: --- <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <cfg:configuration name="DocBook" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; xmlns:cfg="http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/schema/configuration";> <cfg:parameterGroup name="DocBook.docb.toHTML1.transformParameters"> <cfg:parameter name="profile.condition">bar</cfg:parameter> </cfg:parameterGroup> </cfg:configuration> --- add this element: --- <cfg:property name="docb.toHTML1.transform" url="true">xxe-config:docbook/xsl/html/profile-docbook.xsl</cfg:property> --- after the cfg:parameterGroup element. ("docb.toHTML.transform" specifies the multi-page HTML transformation: that is, normally, "xxe-config:docbook/xsl/html/chunk.xsl"; "docb.toPS.transform" specifies the PDF/PostScript transformation: that is, normally, "xxe-config:docbook/xsl/fo/docbook.xsl"; etc. The basic idea here is to substitute to the normal XSL "xxx.xsl", the profiling XSL which is by convention "profile-xxx.xsl") [c] Save the "conf" file (same as attached copy). Quit notepad. [d] Quit XXE. Restart XXE. (This is needed only because we have manually edited the "conf" file: a hack that will no longer be needed in next release.) [4] Now use "DocBook|Convert Document|Convert to HTML [single page, no TOC]". This will produce an HTML page about "bar". [5] Use menu item "Options|Customize Configuration|Change Document Conversion Parameters", select "Convert to single page HTML", change "profile.condition" from "bar" to "foo". Click OK. (No need to restart XXE.) Using "DocBook|Convert Document|Convert to HTML [single page, no TOC]". will this time produce an HTML page about "foo".
