Re: DocBook XSL help? (kafkascampi)

[kafkascampi <kafkascampi -at- gmail -dot- com>]

Generally there is a chunking depth control in the TOC like my fellow Chris
mentioned. Set it at 1 to chunk every section in a topic, etc.

In the answer on Stackoverflow, he mentions the chunking XSL file xhtml
chunk.xsl<http://docbook4j.googlecode.com/svn-history/r4/trunk/docbook4j/src/main/resources/xsl/docbook/xhtml/chunk.xsl>.
It's my guess your customization layer imports that file. You can copy the
TOC depth spec from chunking XSL file and add it to your customized XSL.
