(I originally mistakenly posted this to docbook-apps)
I've looked into this further, and I have managed to customise the xref text using the gentext templates. My next question is how do I format the xreftext?
by adding the following template to my FO customisation layer:
<xsl:template match="book" mode="insert.title.markup">
<xsl:param name="purpose"/>
<xsl:param name="xrefstyle"/>
<xsl:param name="title"/>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="$purpose = 'xref'">
<fo:inline font-style="italic">
<xsl:copy-of select="$title"/>
</fo:inline>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:copy-of select="$title"/>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
but this template does not seem to be having any effect. Any tips as to what I am doing wrong here?
I can see that the chapter and appendix xreftext are italicized (from the standard templates in xref.xsl), but I can't get the same thing to happen for the book elements.

Hi,
I'm trying to link between books (without hot-links).
The text that is generated for everything but the top-level books is fine. It renders Refer to <olink targetdoc="bookDocId" targetptr="section"/> as Refer to Section x,y, “Title” in Book Title.
But when I olink to the book itself: Refer to <olink targetdoc="bookDocId" targetptr="bookId"> there is no fo:inline element, it just renders the book title: Refer to Book Title.
Is there some configuration or customisation that I can do to get this to render as something like Refer to Document "Book Title".
I'm using docbkx 2.0.15 which uses version 1.78.1 of the stylesheets.
