Re: [docbook-apps]is there an pdf equiv. to html.stylesheet?

You are in luck.  You can put the 
background-color attribute in the toc.margin.properties attribute-set.  
Although it says "margins", it is applied to the outer fo:block of the TOC, so 
it should shade the whole thing.  Let me know if it doesn't 
work.

Thanks Bob!

  
 

  
I put this in my my_pdf.xsl file ...

  
 

  
<xsl:param name="shade.verbatim" select="1" />

  
<xsl:attribute-set name="shade.verbatim.style">

  
    <xsl:attribute 
  name="background-color">#FFFFCCCC</xsl:attribute>

  
</xsl:attribute-set>

  
 

  
... and now the backgound for my text in my <screen> tags is a nice 
  yellow color.

  
But I can't seem to figure out how to do this for the "Table Of 
  Contents".  Can you help?

  
 

  
Thanks!

Hi Sheldon,

    
The fo version of the DocBook XSL 
    stylesheets does not make use of CSS for formatting.  The 
    html.stylesheet parameter is only used in HTML output.

    
 

    
Getting customized output for PDF 
    requires customizing the XSL.  You can do a lot with parameters and 
    attribute sets, and only resort to customizing XSL templates if you have 
    to.  My online book provides the details:

If you want to stick to CSS, you might 
    consider Prince 4.0, which uses CSS to create printed output from XML.  
    I've not used it, but it comes with a stylesheet for DocBook.

Hi,

      
 

      
When I generate my html from my docbook source I specifiy my xsl file 
      ( my_html.xsl) that has a few common customization for making 
      <screen> tag and <title> tags look cool.

      
 

      
Now I am generating .fo ( and subsequently .pdf) files with java and 
      com.icl.saxon.StyleSheet and I have been specifying my xsl file ( 
      my_pdf.xsl) ... both files have a line that reads:

      
 

      
<xsl:param name="html.stylesheet" select="'my.css'" />

      
 

      
My html gets all my cool customization but my pdf is still just plain 
      looking :/

      
 

      
What do I need to do to get .css like features into my .fo ( and pdf) 
      files?

      
 

      
I hope that make sense, Thanks

      
Sheldon
