Re: [docbook-apps] customizing the class attribute for sections and olinks

["Bob Stayton" <bobs@sagehill.net>]

Hi Dave,
I think you are mistaking 'css.decoration' for some other parameter. If css.decoration 
is set 1, then a few elements will have a style attribute added to them, but it isn't 
a general mechanism.

The stylesheet by default passes the element name through to the class value.  That 
works ok, but it wasn't very flexible, so starting with version 1.72 the stylesheets 
added a hook for generating your own class values, with the element name as the 
fallback.  For details see:

http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/HtmlCustomEx.html#CustomClassValues

With custom class values, you can do a lot more with CSS.
