hi Bob, thanks!
I must still be doing something wrong since I keep getting that attribute. Here is my test.xsl customization layer:
<?xml version='1.0'?>
<xsl:stylesheet
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
version="1.0">
<xsl:import href="">
<xsl:template mode="htmlTableAtt" select="xml:id" />
</xsl:stylesheet>
any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?
thanks,
--Tim

Hi Tim,
Yes, this is a bug. In DocBook 5, HTML-coded tables were allowed to have attributes with HTML attribute names such as @onmouseover, and they were expected to be passed through to the HTML table output. To support such attributes, version 1.79.1 added a template that starts with this:
<!-- copy these through -->
<xsl:template mode="htmlTableAtt"
match="@abbr
| @align
| @axis
...
which copies those attributes through. Unfortunately, it mistakenly includes xml:id, which should not be there, because the id is output elsewhere.
So the workaround for you is to add this to your customization layer:
<xsl:template mode="htmlTableAtt" select="xml:id" />

I'm using the 1.79.1 html stylesheets with the following example
document I get an "xml:id" attribute on the resulting html table.
That attribute causes some problems for me further down the processing
line. This didn't occur with the 1.78.1 stylesheets. I'm guessing that
this is a bug?
Here's the example:
<chapter xnlns="http://docbook.org/ns/docbook" version="5.0" xml:id="test">
<info><title>My Chapter</title></info>
<para>
<table xml:id="one.two.three">
<caption>My Table</caption>
<tr><th>column 1</th><th>column 2</th></tr>
</table>
</para>
</chapter>
I get xml:id on the resulting html table, using this command line:
xsltproc/path/to/docbook/xsl-1.79.1/html/docbook.xsl test.xml
<div class="table">
<a name="one.two.three"></a>
<p class="title"><b>Table▒1.1.▒My Table</b></p>
<div class="table-contents">
<table*xml:id="one.two.three"*>
<tr><th>column 1</th><th>column 2</th></tr>
</table>
</div>
</div>
When I change to the 1.78.1 stylesheets:
xsltproc /path/to/docbook/xsl-1.78.1/html/docbook.xsl test.xml
The output is okay:
<div class="table">
<a name="one.two.three"></a>
<p class="title"><b>Table▒1.1.▒My Table</b></p>
<div class="table-contents">
<table>
<tr><th>column 1</th><th>column 2</th></tr>
</table>
</div>
</div>
Is there something I can do outside of postprocessing the html to omit
that attribute?
