Subject: Re: [docbook-apps] xrefstyle attribute; pagenumber; %p
Don't put the id on the title element. Put it on the element that contains the title. A title element does not output its id value to the XSL-FO. Regarding the quotes, you can use single quotes to contain an attribute value in XML, which leaves double quotes available to use in the value. <xref linkend="FreedomCenterxref" xrefstyle='template:"%t" on page %p'/> Hope this helps.
