Re: [docbook-apps] where is the title of the current chunk?

Hi Sam,
It isn't clear from your snippet what the context is of the current 
template.  That would help understand what "node()" is in this context. 
Generally node() means to select all the child text and elements from the 
current context, so I doubt that is what you want.

You apply templates in mode="object.title.markup.textonly" when the context 
is an element with a title.  The select attribute needs to specify that 
element from the given context.  Perhaps you just want select="." to select 
the current element?

But I'm not sure how you would select the element that determines the chunk 
containing any given context.  It could check ancestors, but it would have 
to recursively move up through the sequence of ancestors to find the one 
that is the chunk node.  There is a recursive-chunk-filename template that 
walks up an element tree to find the chunk filename of the current context, 
but not the title of the chunk.

But if your context is already the element that is the chunk, the select="." 
would work.
