From your original post I was under the impression you were creating a 
very large HTML file with a table of contents at the top and the chapter 
processing down in the body.

I used ellipses ("...") to indicate "all the rest of your processing goes 
in here".

Right ... but on the same HTML page or different HTML pages?  The technique 
I described is for the same HTML page, because your subject line of your 
post reads "intra document link" ... if your subject line had read "inter 
document link" then I would have thought about multiple HTML pages ... but 
the English language is very difficult at times so it is entirely possible 
that this nuance was not noticed when you typed your message subject.

So, if it really is "intra document link" then I'm supposing your table of 
contents is at the top of your resulting HTML file and you process it 
generating the href= attributes as I indicated before:

    <!--TOC-->
    <xsl:for-each select="b:Book/b:chapters/iese.Chapter:Chapter">
      <li>
        <a href="{generate-id(.)}">
          <xsl:value-of select="iese.Chapter:heading"/>
        </a>
      </li>
    </xsl:for-each>

Then, your HTML page continues down with whatever preamble you have until 
you get to the chapter contents and as you process each chapter you place 
the name= anchors in the HTML page in the titles as I've shown below with 
<h3> elements (I hope the following is legible and isn't corrupted by your 
mail reader):

    <!--Body processing-->
    <xsl:for-each select="b:Book/b:chapters/iese.Chapter:Chapter">
      <h3>
        <a name="{generate-id(.)}">
          <xsl:value-of select="iese.Chapter:heading"/>
        </a>
      </h3>
      <!--rest of chapter processing-->
    </xsl:for-each>

Producing one very large HTML file with intra-document links.

I hope this helps.
