/ Megan Golding <mgolding@secureworks.net> was heard to say:
| I've written a series of docs in DocBook and am using the nwalsh-modular 
| stylesheets to produce HTML output. Is it possible to substitute graphics

| I was thinking something along the lines of the following in my HTML output:
| NEW: <a href="prevtopic.html"><img src="prev.png"></a>
| CURRENTLY: <a href="prevtopic.html">Previous</a>

In DSSSL, you can write your own custom stylesheet that redefines the
(gentext-nav-next), (gentext-nav-up), etc. functions.

In XSL, it's not as easy as it should be. I'm offline right now, but
I'll try to remember to put that in the bug tracker at
http://sourceforge.net/projects/docbook/
