Re: [docbook-apps] put a table in abstract: suppress title

Doh! Yes it will. That saves me a lot of code. Thanks

Can anyone tell me how to suppress the title for a table just in the

Abstract, using the xsl docbook stylesheets? For my work, it was

suggested I put a table at the beginning of the document to outline the

contents. (This idea did not come from me, and I don't think it a good

one.) Hence, I put the table right after the abstract.

I want to (1) suppress the title for this table, (2) start numbering the

next table at 1, and (3) not include this table in the list of tables.

1. ??

2. <xsl:template match="d:table[@class = 'after-abstract']" mode="toc"

/> <!--suppresses tol entry-->

3. <xsl:template match="d:table" mode="label.markup">

<xsl:choose>

<xsl:when test="@label">

<xsl:value-of select="@label"/>

</xsl:when>

<xsl:otherwise>

<xsl:variable name="num">

<xsl:number format="1" from="book|article" level="any"/>

</xsl:variable>

<xsl:value-of select="$num - 1"/>

</xsl:otherwise>

</xsl:choose>

</xsl:template>

<!--only partially works; need to find complete template to number

tables in appendix correctly-->

I found a way to implement (2), and a way to mostly implement (3), but I

can't find the named template to suppress any title from the first table.

Thanks
