That's not a a built-in feature, so you would have to write a customization to do that. You need to write a replacement XSL template for <xsl:template match="sidebar"> (the original is in html/block.xsl in the DocBook XSL distribution, but it doesn't do much). The things it would need to do include: 1. Figure out a unique filename for each popup. 2. Call the 'write.chunk' template with the correct set of parameters, including the content. 3. Generate an anchor of some sort so the user knows there is a sidebar and can click to reach it. The anchor might look like this: <a href="sidebar.filename.html" target="sidebar">Sidebar title</a> An easier but slower way would be to submit a feature request to the docbook sourceforge site at http://sourceforge.net/projects/docbook/. No guarantee that it would be implemented, or when. -- Bob Stayton 400 Encinal Street Publications Architect Santa Cruz, CA 95060 Technical Publications voice: (831) 427-7796 Caldera International, Inc. fax: (831) 429-1887 email: bobs@caldera.com
