FW: [docbook-apps] chunk.xsl for cocoon

["Walsh, Mark" <mawalsh at csu dot edu dot au>]

Thanks Gisbert,

The rootid parameter works well. I am able to generate each chapter separately where the document contains the equivalent of <chapter id="ch1">....</chapter>. For example, I just set the parameter rootid="ch1" and I get the first chapter.

However, I can not see how to extract only the "table of contents" page, ie I can't see any tag to add the attribute id="menu" to. If I do this to the book tag I get the whole document. 

Any ideas on how to generate the "Table of Contents" page only ?

Regards,
Mark.

Probably you could carry on with docbook.xsl, using the rootid parameter
(http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/doc/html/rootid.html) to
specify the part of the document you want to transform.
