Just wanted to add a +1 to the idea below (from Andrea & helix84) to do 
an "XSLT Snippets" / XMLUI Cookbook somewhere.

I honestly think this would be an *excellent* addition to the DSpace 
Knowledge Base:
https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSpaceKB/DSpace+KnowledgeBase

The whole idea behind that Knowledgebase is to provide a place that we 
can better organize & share useful tips as well as tutorials / webcasts 
/ presentations on how to do things. I think this example of starting up 
a section on how to make specific small XSLT tweaks to your theme would 
be a great resource.

For those who are still a bit hazy about the "Knowledgebase" idea. It is 
different than our "System Documentation" 
(https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC18/). The System Documentation 
describes configurations / settings & basic instructions for changing 
DSpace (basically it's more of a "reference" for System Admins). But, 
the Knowledgebase is meant to provide actual step-by-step tutorials on 
how to do very specific things in DSpace (and link back to parts of the 
System Docs where necessary).
