Re: [docbook-apps] suppressing everything but the content of body in xhtml output
One small correction. You can't do it with a customization layer, because of the way xsl:output elements are combined. I had some correspondence with Michael Kay about Saxon's behavior, and he says that once you have the doctypes declared, there is no way to completely undeclare them in a customization layer. But you can edit the original xhtml/docbook.xsl file to remove the doctype attributes from the xsl:output there. Ugly, and a maintenance headache, but it is possible. The xsl:output element's attributes in XSLT 1.0 must always be literals. You can't use parameter values to set them, so they can't be made conditional. XSLT 2.0 adds named output declarations that can be conditional.

Re: [docbook-apps] suppressing everything but the content of body in xhtml output
Bob, Thanks for the reply. I would say it's commonly done, but that is only my suspicion based on what I've seen on the Web. Naked HTML makes sense, although it doesn't convey that the output is an HTML fragment. (Plus some identify naked HTML as HTML with no CSS.) I like the explicit content-of-body or body-only, or the Tidy parameter show-body-only. Your XSL works, but I get the following at the top of the file, which I'd also like to suppress: ?xml version=1.0 encoding=UTF-8? !DOCTYPE div PUBLIC -//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd;\ How can I do that?

You will need to customize the template that generates the HTML wrapper elements. If you are using the nonchunking stylesheet, you want to customize the template with mode=process.root in html/docbook.xsl. If you are using the chunking stylesheet, you need customize the template named chunk-element-content in html/chunk-common.xsl. In both cases, you want to eliminate all those parts of the template that output the HTML elements you do not want. If you want to eliminate just the HEAD, then remove the literal head and /head tags and their content. If you want completely bare content, then remove the html, head, and body tags, as well as the template calls that fill the head element and generate the header and footer. There will not be much left. For example, process.root could end up looking like the following: xsl:template match=* mode=process.root xsl:call-template name=root.messages/ xsl:apply-templates select=./ /xsl:template Bob Stayton Sagehill Enterprises DocBook Consulting [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Original Message - From: Brett Leber [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: docbook-apps@lists.oasis-open.org Sent: Friday, June 15, 2007 2:01 PM Subject: Re: [docbook-apps] suppressing everything but the content of body in xhtml output I'm a little bit disappointed that there weren't any more responses to this question (besides Dick's very useful suggestion).
