I wrote some guidelines for customizing the XSL stylesheets in the updated duck book: http://docbook.org/tdg/html/ch04.html#xsl (see the section "Customizing the DocBook XSL Stylesheets). In general, look in param.xsl to see if there is a parameter controlling what you want to do. If not, then you'll have to create a replacment template in a customization layer. Depending on the degree of modification, you'll have to learn a little or a lot about XSL and the way Norm structured the stylesheets. In this case, it is an easy change: <xsl:template match="type"> <xsl:call-template name="inline.monoseq"/> </xsl:template> This just changes the named template called for "type" elements from "inline.charseq" to "inline.monoseq". Other elements you might want to look at are in the inline.xsl file. I would highly recommend taking some time to study Norm's XSL stylesheets. They are an excellent example of XSLT programming. They exercise most of the standard, and use good programming practices for XSLT (which definitely is a different kind of programming!). Learning his templates will teach you a lot about XSL, although you'll need a reference book like Michael Kay's XSLT Programmer's Reference. bobs Bob Stayton 400 Encinal Street Publications Architect Santa Cruz, CA 95060 Technical Publications voice: (831) 427-7796 Caldera International, Inc. fax: (831) 429-1887 email: bobs@caldera.com
