/ qmax <qmax@sibmail.ru> was heard to say:
| Trying to CREATE element <title> in a setion, an then pass
| a tree of section+title through the original docbook templates,
| to generate toc entries and all that stuff.
|
| I guess this should be done on two passes: first creating
| missed titles and other elements; and second transforming result
| of first pass into HTML, FO, or whatever.

Yes, if you have some semi-valid DocBook or some other markup that you
want to turn into DocBook so that the DocBook stylesheets can process
it, your best bet is a two-pass transformation.

With the exsl:node-set extension function, you can actually combine
both passes into a single run, if you don't have template matching
conflicts.

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm
