Re: [docbook] XSL Customization for biblioentry generated text with xref

[Bob Stayton <bobs@sagehill.net>]

Hi Mattias,
Cross references to biblioentry do not use the system of gentext 
templates.  That's because some people want to use numbers and others 
abbrev.  Also, its <title> entry isn't the same as other titles, because 
it is the title of another document, not the biblioentry (and title 
isn't required in a biblioentry).  So instead, the stylesheet provides 
an XSL template and the "bibliography.numbered" param that can be 
customized. That template handles the various options for an entry.

The template you want to customize is in the xref.xsl stylesheet module 
and starts with:

<xsl:template match="biblioentry|bibliomixed" mode="xref-to">
