The trouble I'm having is that docbook wants to compile the pages into
XHTML so it needs all that information at compile time. I'm trying to
combine information at runtime that is not available at compile time
of the docbook XML. To do that I have to parse the XHTML at runtime
and add my information to the compiled XHTML that the docbook XSL
outputs. I need something like what manifest.xsl does today, but a
little more structure (maybe as XML) to identify what page is the
start and which page is next and previous given the name of a page,
etc. How would I modify manifest templates to output those
relationships?
From the above it seems that you could use some variation of the maketoc.xsl
stylesheet, which outputs an XML file with the TOC structure. See
http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/PrintToc.html#EditableToc
But it is still unclear exactly what you want to do. What is this runtime
information that you are adding to the XHTML files?
