Hi Bob,
Thank you for the reply.Yes it is true that almost every docbook element
has been styled by docbook XSL.But my this effort is to style them more
using css.I feel that most of the docbook elements can further be styled so
that the output of docbook will be a more clear and nice one.As an examples
- <title> elements in different classes can further be styled
- we can style <title> and <subtitle> in different ways to show their
difference
- <sec1>,<sec2>,<sec3>,etc.. can be further styled
- <caption> element can be styled differently
- <code> elements can be further styled as well.
I have not tested many docbook XMLs.I think there can be more elements that
can be styled further.
Thank you
Sanjaya
