Adding Header and footer to a docbook

Question

Hello,

I have a multi chapter docbook documentation. It is converted to HTMLHelp with xslproc the XSL\xsl\htmlhelp\htmlhelp.xsl file.

I need to add a footer and header to the generated HTML pages. I am a newbie about docbook (using it in a simple fashion so far) and XSL. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

Paul

There are a couple of named templates you can override for adding your own headers/footers. For comprehensive instructions, see section "HTML headers and footers" in the excellent DocBook XSL: The Complete Guide by Bob Stayton.

By default, the HTML Help stylesheet disables the usual automatically generated navigation headers by setting the suppress.navigation parameter to 1.
