Faster WebHelp XSL

Hello,

    

    We had to use the webhelp output for a huge XML document (~11MB)
    doing the chunking to a very high section level. Doing so, more than
    1600 html files needed to be generated. After waiting around 5 hours
    for it to finish we decided to stop it. What was taking time is the
    generation of the toc tree in the left pane for each html file
    generated, so we decided to generate it only one time and copy it as
    needed. Attached are the files showing how we did it preserving the
    highlighting of the current tree item. Basically we generated an
    "id" attribute for each tree item and a _javascript_ variable
    containing the current id for each page. After that the
    transformation took 45 minutes to finish.

    

    We hope it will be useful.

    

    Cheers,
