Re: [docbook-apps] Re: [docbook] how do i get a common parent with a unique id?

Did you mention what version of the stylesheets you 
are using?  The mode="class.attribute" was added in version 
1.73.2.

I think when Norm Walsh designed the nested div 
      elements in the titlepage
mechanism for HTML, he was allowing for 
      customization of attributes at each 
level of nesting.  But since 
      most people don't do such customization with
XSL (they use CSS 
      instead), then they become a lot of baggage.  This
customization 
      trims down section output a bit:

<xsl:template name=" 
      section.titlepage">
 <xsl:call-template 
      name="section.titlepage.before.recto"/>
 <xsl:call-template 
      name="section.titlepage.recto"/>
 <xsl:call-template 
      name="section.titlepage.before.verso "/>
 <xsl:call-template 
      name="section.titlepage.verso"/>
 <xsl:call-template 
      name="section.titlepage.separator"/>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template 
      match="section" mode=" class.attribute">
 <xsl:attribute 
      name="id">
   <xsl:call-template name="object.id"/>
 </xsl:attribute>
</xsl:template> 
      

    

It looks correct, but isn't working for 
    me:

        <div 
    class="section" lang="en" 
    xml:lang="en">
          
    <h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a 
    id="the_title"></a>Title</h2> 
    
          <p>The 
    description</p>
        
    </div>

 
I want to remove that <a id> generation 
    and put the id on the outer <div>

  

I've managed to get the <h2> correct, but putting the id on 
  the div is not working...it seems to not get parsed with mode=" 
  class.attribute".

I removed it, and then I get an error that attributes 
  cannot be added after children have already been 
  inserted.
