It would only work with the code - <xsl:template name="book.titlepage.separator"/> - and not the other stuff, I already have the other lines in my .xsl. But what I don't understand is why that one line does anything at all? I don't see anything there to tell the processor to do anything. I must not be understanding it correctly. So, here's another one I hope can be fixed by just adding a bit of code to the .xsl - How do I define a smaller size font for chapter titles? I found some info in the Docbook manual, chapter 5, on customizing Docbook, but that looks way too complicated for what I want to do.
