[docbook-apps] Newbie questions about DocBook Style Sheetcustomization

[Julien Bolmont <julien.bolmont@mac.com>]

Hi all,

I've just started to work with DocBook and I'm not familiar at all with the way of customizing the style sheet. For the moment, I use this style sheet:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"; version="1.0">
    

    <xsl:import href="....../frameworks/docbook/xsl/fo/docbook.xsl"/>

    <xsl:param name="paper.type" select="'A4'"/>
    <xsl:param name="paper.orientation" select="'portrait'"/>
    <xsl:param name="body.start.indent" select="'10pt'"/>
    <xsl:param name="section.autolabel" select="'1'"/> 
    
</xsl:stylesheet>
 
My problem is that I don't know how to do things, and I don't find simple enough examples on the web.
For example, I'd like to:
+ change the color of the links (<link>)
+ change the size of titles for <sect1>
+ remove the table captions (I don't need them)
+ get the <sect1> numbered from 1 to N, with no reset at the beginning of a chapter...

I aleady know the great "DocBook XSL: The Complete Guide", but I don't really understand how to modify the examples for my own use...

Could you help me, please ?
Thanks,

Julien
