There is no DocBook XSL template that outputs the HTML <abbr> tag. And there is no attribute on acronym that is for a title. There is some discussion in the DocBook Technical Committee about annotations like that, but nothing in the DTD yet. If you wanted to stuff your title in the xreflabel attribute, you could customize the stylesheet by adding something like this to your stylesheet customization layer: <xsl:template match="acronym"> <abbr> <xsl:attribute name="title" select="@xreflabel"/> <xsl:call-template name="inline.charseq"/> </abbr> </xsl:template> The xreflabel isn't quite the right attribute to use, but there isn't a better one at this point. -- Bob Stayton 400 Encinal Street Publications Architect Santa Cruz, CA 95060 Technical Publications voice: (831) 427-7796 The SCO Group fax: (831) 429-1887 email: bobs@sco.com
