  • 1.  abstract for each chapter? bio page for authors to anthology?

    Hi, I'm working on a literary anthology ebook which has some unique features.


    First, I'm going to create a stylesheet so that when it outputs as
    chunked HTML it creates an alternate Table of contents. This custom
    table of contents will include a one or two sentence
    summary/description of individual chapters. It probably will have to
    be a table. This summary must also appear at the top of each chapter.
    Can you recommend a way of doing this in docbook?

    The only thing that looks remotely relevant to that is EPIGRAPH. But I
    could be overlooking something obvious.

    Second , individual chapters are written by separate authors. If I
    want to make a stylesheet to prepare an About the Contributors page,
    does Docbook have any element for indicating a short biography +
    possibly picture for authors? Or is this something more easily
    hand-coded?

    Finally, in this second example, let's say I want the author's name in
    the chapter html output to link to his biographical information
    (presumably in the custom About the Contributors page I ahve yet to
    write the stylesheet for. How would I create a link to an outputted
    html file that hasn't even been created yet?
