Re: generating a custom css to epub3 -- how? (+ italics?)

[Robert Nagle <idiotprogrammer@gmail.com>]

Ok, I haven't achieved my goal, which is causing docbook2.css to be
copied into the target directory. The xhtml references the
docbook2.css file though.

Ok, Dave are you saying that I need to preprocess the xsl
customization layer in order to expand the xinclude and drop the css
stuff inside? Then, after I have done this, I will have to process it
again? (something akin to two pass processing).

How would I do this with Saxon (if it's possible)? Would I need to do
two-pass processing (where I process it into an intermediary file?

***************************************


The problem is that I don't know what's going on with these
    parameters, and what Bob's answer means. Am I including a css file or
    an xml file which contains css information?

Dave Pawson replied:

The 'text' bit

<xi:include href="docbook2.css" parse="text"
says that it is plain text, i.e. not XML.
Hence as the extension says, you're pulling in css.
