RE: [docbook-apps] chunk.xsl for cocoon

[Jeff Beal <jeff dot beal at ansys dot com>]

This functionality doesn't exist in the current stylesheets.  This is just
an idea, but you may be able to do a stylesheet customization to get this to
work:

1) Add a "write.chapters" parameter to your customization layer:

<xsl:param name="write.chapters" select="1"/>

(Since you don't seem to ever want to write out the book and all of the
chapters, you may be able to have this 0 by default.  If you pass in the
rootid of the chapter, you'll be bypassing the book template below, anyway.)

2) Change the template that matches "book" so that it won't
<xsl:apply-templates/> when that parameter is switched off:

<xsl:template match="book">
  <div class="{name(.)}">
    <xsl:call-template name="language.attribute"/>
    <xsl:if test="$generate.id.attributes != 0">
      <xsl:attribute name="id">
        <xsl:call-template name="object.id"/>
      </xsl:attribute>
    </xsl:if>

    <xsl:call-template name="book.titlepage"/>

    <xsl:apply-templates select="dedication" mode="dedication"/>

    <xsl:call-template name="make.lots">
      <xsl:with-param name="toc.params">
        <xsl:call-template name="find.path.params">
          <xsl:with-param name="table"
select="normalize-space($generate.toc)"/>
        </xsl:call-template>
      </xsl:with-param>
      <xsl:with-param name="toc">
        <xsl:call-template name="division.toc"/>
      </xsl:with-param>
    </xsl:call-template>

    <xsl:if test="$write.chapters != 0">
      <xsl:apply-templates/>
    </xsl:if>
  </div>
</xsl:template>

3) When the user wants to build the book, pass in the rootid parameter as
before, along with the write.chapters=0
