Re: [docbook-apps] Expose profile attributes

[Bob Stayton <bobs@sagehill.net>]

Hi Eric,
Take a look at this doc, which describes how to use mode="class.value" 
to generate custom class attribute values:

http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/HtmlCustomEx.html#CustomClassValues

In your case, you would want to add a custom template starting with:

<xsl:template match="*[@revision]" mode="class.value">

and instead of just outputting the $class template param, you could add 
the value of @revision.
