Re: [docbook-apps] customizing section titles

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

Hi,
In the HTML stylesheet, he 'section' parameter is set in the template named 
'section.title' in html/sections.xsl, where the context node is the section's title 
element.  It computes the section parent using this variable:

  <xsl:variable name="section" select="(ancestor::section
                                        |ancestor::simplesect
                                        |ancestor::sect1
                                        |ancestor::sect2
                                        |ancestor::sect3
                                        |ancestor::sect4
                                        |ancestor::sect5)[last()]"/>

The 'section.heading' template in fo/sections.xsl also has the section title as the 
context element, so you could copy the same selection in your customization to 
establish the section variable there.
