Re: [docbook-apps] Changing the ToC for only index.html?

["Bob Stayton" <bobs at sagehill dot net>]

If you want to retain the depth of the book tables of contents while
reducing the depth of the set table of contents, you will have to do a
little customization.

The template named 'make.toc' in autotoc.xsl is called at the beginning of a
table of contents, and then it applies templates in mode="toc" for each
nested level.  As it applies templates in that mode, it supplies the
'toc-context' parameter whose value is the top element containing the TOC.
You want to change how a book is processed when the toc-context is set.  So
copy the match="book" mode="toc" template from autotoc.xsl to your
customization layer and add an xsl:choose to modify the behavior:

<xsl:template match="book" mode="toc">
  <xsl:param name="toc-context" select="."/>

  <xsl:choose>
    <xsl:when test="local-name($toc-context) = 'set'">
      <xsl:call-template name="subtoc">
        <xsl:with-param name="toc-context" select="$toc-context"/>
        <xsl:with-param name="nodes" select="foo"/>
      </xsl:call-template>
    </xsl:when>
    <xsl:otherwise>
      <xsl:call-template name="subtoc">
        <xsl:with-param name="toc-context" select="$toc-context"/>
        <xsl:with-param name="nodes" select="part|reference
                                         |preface|chapter|appendix
                                         |article
                                         |bibliography|glossary|index
                                         |refentry
                                         |bridgehead[$bridgehead.in.toc !=
0]"/>
      </xsl:call-template>
    </xsl:otherwise>
  </xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>

In the xsl:when statement, if the toc-context is 'set', then call subtoc
with no nodes selected (I entered a fake element name because it won't
accept an empty select statement). The subtoc template will format the book
title, and then won't have any subnodes to process.
