Duplicate IDs mess up FO TOC

Hi folks,

I'm reusing quite a few sections using xincludes and my
table of contents
gets confused when generating PDF output: It can not
correctly determine the
page number of all sections since multiple sections have the
same ID (the
ones that are reused).

I'm fully aware that duplicate ID attributes in my
aggregated document makes
it invalid, but ignoring that for a while, would any of you
know how to
solve this problem and get a nice printed TOC?

Of course there's the laborous approach suggested by Bob
(
http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/DuplicateIDs.html)
but that's not really
feasible in this case.

Best,
Claus

I like this approach - excellent thinking. I haven't tested
the solution
yet, but it seems like a clever way to go.

Thanks much for your input, Bob.
