Title: xref titles in italics for sections etc.

First question: are you using the docbook 5 namespaced stylesheets?  If so, the element names in the match need to have the namespace prefix.

Subject: xref titles in italics for sections etc.

Apologies I sent this earlier without a title line

 can't get this to work, there is an unused parameter, $xrefstyle, is something missing in the template?

<!-- Make all cross reference titles appear in italic -->
<!-- by default chapters are italicised but all sect cross references are not in italic -->
<!-- p.247 of 3rd. ed. and p.271 of 4th. ed. of "DocBook XSL The Complete Guide" -->
  <xsl:template match="sect1|sect2|sect3|sect4|sect5|section" 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>
