</h2>
</div>
</div>
<p>This is technical reference documentation for the DocBook XSL
Stylesheets; it documents (some of) the parameters, templates, and
other elements of the stylesheets.
</p>
<p>This is not intended to be “user” documentation.
It is provided for developers writing customization layers for the
stylesheets, and for anyone who's interested in “how it
works”.
</p>
<p>Although I am trying to be thorough, this documentation is known
to be incomplete. Don't forget to read the source, too :-)

<p>The <tt>xpointer.idref</tt> template returns the
ID portion of an XPointer which is a pointer to an ID within the current
document, or the empty string if it is not.
</p>
<p>In other words, <tt>xpointer.idref</tt> returns
“foo” when passed either <tt>#foo</tt>
or <tt>#xpointer(id('foo'))</tt>, otherwise it returns
the empty string.
