docbook: Thread: filename

Dear all,

I am very new to docbook, I want to make my html output using section 
specific filenames i.e. <section id="abc"> and I want my html file name 
as abc.html . But I don't know why it doesn't work, the output filenames 
are just arbitary. I am using the script "db2html" comes with redhat 7.2 
, I finally find out the command in the script as follows.

jw -f docbook -b html -o ${output} "$@"

Is there anything I am missing to make these html files?

regards,
David

Yes...there is a DSSSL option that needs to be set :

 (define %use-id-as-filename%
  ;; Use ID attributes as name for component HTML files?
  #t)

By default, it's set to (f)alse. Again, this is one that cannot be
set from the command line, you need to override it with your
own DSSSL file or tweak <dsssl_location>/html/dbparam.dsl (not
recommended as installing newer versions of the base DSSSL stylesheets
will overwrite your change).

ldp.dsl provides this setting. See http://tldp.org/authors/#resources
under "DSSSL (stylesheets)" if you wish to download a copy of ldp.dsl
