Re: problem with customizing header

       Hi Andreas!


   I highly recommend purchasing DocBook XSL - the complete guide. It is  
also available online at: http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/

   All the things you want require a customization layer (as explained in  
the above mentioned book).

   I assume you are talking about transforming to fo (and then pdf). I have  
customized headers, but not their width. Anyhow, you should start here:

   See http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/CustomGentext.html#CustomGenText

   The particular customization you propably want is

   <xsl:param name="local.l10n.xml" select="document('')" />
   <l:i18n xmlns:l="http://docbook.sourceforge.net/xmlns/l10n/1.0";>
     <l:l10n language="en">
       <l:context name="title-numbered">
         <l:template name="chapter" text="%n. %t"/>
       </l:context>
     </l:l10n>
   </l:i18n>

   I would suggest you should not modify the docbook stylesheets but make  
your customizations in a customization layer. See
