This is a newbie question:
Under jade/docbook style a TOC is auto-magically generated from sect?'s
because there is a ID #IMPLIED in the docbook DTD and Norm uses the
'all-element-number' jade extension to generate a unique ID for a section
even though its not specified in the sgml/xml document - correct?
Q1. ID is special, but not that special - I know its supposed to be
unique for the document. However, if the author doesn't specify an ID,
than is it purely a GOOD thing that jade has this extension that generates
a unique ID for you that one can use to generate an HREF TOC?
Q2. Is this something that one can expect in all SGML/XML
implementations? (I guess no)
Q3. Will something like this be available for XSL as well?
Q4. Is there a better way to generate a hyperlinked TOC in XSL that I'm
not getting?
Thanks.
Cheers,
Glenn
