Re: [docbook-apps] Another (hopefully) simple question: Table ofContents

Ah! I see.

I had read about the toc.line template, but I had been trying to add 
that template into my customization layer. I must have been doing 
something incorrect, because the color never changed.

When I changed the color in the autotoc.xsl file, the output was exactly 
what I wanted.

Thanks very much!
