Hi Philo,
If you are going to be customizing DocBook XSL, I suggest you check out
my free online book that covers a lot of formatting options:
http://sagehill.net/docbookxsl/
Oxygen XML lets you set values for stylesheet parameters in their
interface, and the information for most such parameters is in Part II:
Stylesheet Options. However, the process of changing the format of
titles does not use parameters because there are too many title types
and properties. Instead, there is a title customization process in
which you edit an XML file that lists title properties, and then you
generate an XSL file that enacts those properties. Then you import that
generated XSL file into a customization layer to override the default
title properties. It's more complicated than parameters, but it allows
you to complete control to set any property for any title type.
The process for creating a customization layer is described here:
http://sagehill.net/docbookxsl/CustomMethods.html#CustomizationLayer
The process for customizing titles and subtitles is described here:
http://sagehill.net/docbookxsl/HTMLTitlePage.html
The stylesheet uses the term "titlepage" to refer to titles, subtitles,
and any other info elements that should appear at the beginning of a
DocBook element.
For your case, you will want to edit the spec file and add a
hyphenate="false" property to the <title> and <subtitle> elements you
want to turn off, and then generate the titlepage XSL file to import.
