Re: [docbook-apps] How to generate list of tables from DocBook article??

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

The stylesheets currently only support a list of tables for the book
element. The article template simply doesn't call the 'list.of.titles'
template like the book element does.

You could easily customize the article template. Copy the match="article"
template from fo/component.xsl to your customization layer.  Find the place
where it triggers processing the toc:
 <xsl:if test="contains($toc.params, 'toc')">
   ...
</xsl:if>

After the toc processing, you want to do something similar for processing
the list of tables. The match="book" template in fo/division.xsl does that,
but it starts a new page sequence for each list, which you would not want
for your article, which is a single page-sequence. So just take the guts of
it:

<xsl:if test="contains($toc.params,'table') and .//table">
        <xsl:call-template name="list.of.titles">
          <xsl:with-param name="titles" select="'table'"/>
          <xsl:with-param name="nodes" select=".//table"/>
        </xsl:call-template>
</xsl:if>

I didn't test this, but something like it should work.
