Re: [docbook-apps] removing inline attributes from tables

[Bob Stayton <bobs@sagehill.net>]

Hi Carlos,
There is no parameter to turn of all style attributes (but perhaps there 
should be).

However, you can customize a template that will turn off almost all of 
them.  That template starts with:

<xsl:template match="*" mode="convert.to.style">

and is located in xhtml5/html5-element-mods.xsl.  At the point where it 
generates the @style attribute, you can comment out or remove that code:

      <xsl:attribute name="style">
        <xsl:value-of select="$style"/>
      </xsl:attribute>

Here is a little background explanation, if you are interested.
Many traditional HTML attributes generated by DocBook XSL are no longer 
allowed in HTML5. The xhtml5 stylesheet uses xsl:apply-imports to 
generate the regular DocBook xhtml output into a variable, and then 
processes that xhtml output again to deal with those attributes.  It 
converts many of them to CSS styles and outputs them in an @style 
attribute, which is allowed.  That's what this template is doing.  But 
in your case, you don't want any @style, so comment out those lines.
