[docbook-apps] Website ToC questions

[Gerrit Kuilder <gerrit at kuilder dot net>]

Hello All,

trying to improve at least my own website xsl stylesheets and am looking 
at a menu that suits my tastes a liitle bit more.

a)  A way to show only menu items that have the same toc levels as the 
current page and showing menu items that are descendants of the current 
page. (div class="curpage"> or maybe even only curpage and descendants?

b) a you are here link which can take you quickly up the hierarchy. 
/you/are/here where 'you', 'are'  have links up the structure upto the 
home page. I think this would be necessary if you use a)

c) a different way of the div's around menu items are generated. around 
menu items  to enhance the formatting capabilities with css.
currenttly each item has to div's around them:

    <div class="toplevel">
         <div class="otherpage"><a href="/index.html">Home</a></div>
    </div>
     <div class="toplevel">
         <div class="otherpage"><a href="../docbook/index.html">Docbook 
DTD</a></div>
     </div>

I would perfer to see:

<div class="toplevel">
         <div class="otherpage"><a href="/index.html">Home</a></div>
         <div class="otherpage"><a href="../docbook/index.html">Docbook 
DTD</a></div>
</div>


The questions:

1) have seen a 'use.toc.expand.depth' and 'toc.expand.depth' which seem 
not to be used. Anyone can enlighten me on the possible use of these values?

2) Has anyone implemented either the div/CSS  bit under  c) or the menu 
display under a)
2a) Anyone willing to share pointers/code?

3)  how would one go about making my  menu requirement an enhancment of 
the website dtd/xsl? So one could add parameters to config or param.xsl.
3a) That is if people think it would be an enhancement.

I have hacked my webiste xsl  in a horrible way and keep doing it 'my 
way', otherwise I can try and write it in 'our way' .

It becomes pretty clear that above makes sense is when you go to

http://family.kuilder.net/familyarchive/kuilder/lubbert/familie/jan/baby/index.html

As a side note this is a family archive of old pictures. Not really 
interesting for non family members.
docbook.xml->perlscript to make layout.xml and website.xml -> 
website.xsl-> html
