Subject: Re: [docbook-apps] make bold all the xref labels? (Customizing xref style)
Hi Robert, I wasn't sure how to respond to this message when you said: > Both methods, of course, are over my head. Are you familiar with the process of creating a customization layer for DocBook XSL? If not, that process is described here: http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/CustomMethods.html#CustomizationLayer If so, are you familiar with the use of attribute-sets? If not, those are described here: http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/AttributeSets.html You can customize the attribute-set named 'xref.properties' in your customization layer to set the bold property: <xsl:attribute-set name="xref.properties"> <xsl:attribute name="font-weight">bold</xsl:attribute> </xsl:attribute-set> You can add whatever XSL-FO properties are appropriate for inline text. See a good reference on XSL-FO for documentation on such properties.
