Re: [docbook] docbook with style info

[Scott Hudson <scott.hudson@flatironssolutions.com>]

Well, bold and strong are supported, and the default formatting for 
emphasis is italic (or em).

There is also documentation for how to customize this further. See Bob 
Stayton's excellent DocBook XSL book:

http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/CustomInlines.html
http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/UsingCSS.html

Fonts are handled differently:
http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/PrintCustomEx.html#RootProperties
http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/AddFont.html#ConfigureFonts
