Is there a way to change or delete the default headers that appear in topics:
For example, I’d like to edit or remove the word “Procedure” that appears below
the title when I transform a Task (General) topic. Similarly, I’d like to
change or remove the phrase “Table of Contents” that appears when converting a
Map topic to PDF/HTML.
I’ve been trying figure this out on my own for several days before inquiring
with you how to accomplish this. I've looked through the ditac_toc.xsl and
related files, but haven’t found where these phrases come from or how to
change/remove them. I’ve already created a customization of the default fo.xsl
stylesheet with some of my own attribute sets. Perhaps there are some
stylesheet parameters I can apply to that to change or remove these phrases?
--> Messages like “Procedure”, “Table of Contents” are defined in
xsl/common/messages/en.xml. Excerpts:
---
...
<message name="context">About this task</message>
<message name="steps">Procedure</message>
...
<message name="toc">Table of Contents</message>
<message name="figurelist">List of Figures</message>
...

If you want to change some messages, you'll have to edit this file.

A simple way to remove these titles is to define attribute-sets:
toc-title
steps-title
steps-informal-title
and CSS classes:
toc-title
steps-title
steps-informal-title
in order to make these titles invisible. Attribute-set example:
---
<xsl:attribute-set name="steps-informal-title">
<xsl:attribute name="visibility">hidden</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:attribute-set>
<xsl:attribute-set name="steps-title">
<xsl:attribute name="visibility">hidden</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:attribute-set>
<xsl:attribute-set name="toc-title">
<xsl:attribute name="visibility">hidden</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:attribute-set>
---
Note that visibility=hidden is not supported by all XSL-FO processors.
Fortunately it is supported by Apache FOP (PDF output).
