transform @xml:id to @id in HTML

  • 1.  transform @xml:id to @id in HTML

    Posted 03-10-2021 16:15
    Hi everyone,

    I’m still struggling with this question, so hopefully this message is read by one of the DocBook masterminds. ;-)

    I’m wondering if it’s possible to include all the xml:id’s we add in our DocBook source document in the output HTML als id’s.

    For example:

    DocBook XML:
    <para xml:id=”test”>…</para>

    HTML

    …



    The parameter generate.id.attributes handles this for the main sections, but I would like to add all the id’s. Is this possible?

    Thanks in advance!

    Kind regards,

    Hi Peter,

    Thanks for your suggestion! I igree that one must try to avoid ‘hacking’ if possible. Adding ID’s (from the source document) to more elements than the main sections seems like a very common wish, though. We would like to add internal links to lots of places, that’s why we want to transform xml:id to id.

    Does anyone else know if the 1.0-stylesheets have a setting to transfer all xml:id’s to the output? Or is Peter’s suggestion the way to go?

    Many thanks,

    Michel

    Hi, Michel!

    I would consider customizing the d:title template and setting the output id value to whatever the input xml:id value is.

    https://github.com/docbook/xslt10-stylesheets/blob/master/xsl/html/titlepage.xsl#L1037

    My idea feels like a hack though. Maybe someone else has a better solution?

    Hi everyone,

    I'm using the DocBook XSL to transform DocBook XML to EPUB and HTML. I have a question about including xml:id in the output as id's.

    I know that it's possible to include the xml:id of main sections in the output using generate.id.attributes. I also have xml:id's in some of my </preface>

    Output:




    Frontispice







    Is there a way to do this?

    Thanks in advance,
    Kind regards,
    Michel
