Hello, I'm experimenting with asciidoc as an alternative to Latex, which 
I've been using for years.  I like the
idea of a simpler more portable format but I'm having trouble customizing 
it.
I'm trying to change the default body font size in a document.  I'm on 
Ubuntu and I dug around a bit and found 
/etc/asciidoc/docbook-xsl/fo.xsl which seems to contain all the docbook 
font settings.

I copied this into my local asciidoc-dblatex.xsl file and updated the 
settings

  <xsl:param name="body.font.master">15</xsl:param>
  <xsl:param name="body.font.size">
    <xsl:value-of select="$body.font.master"/><xsl:text>pt</xsl:text>
  </xsl:param>

This had no effect, I tried a variety of things, including replacing the 
content of 'body.font.size' with the literal text '15pt'.  
After this didn't work I tried editing the file 
/etc/asciidoc/docbook-xsl/fo.xsl 
directly, which also made no changes to the document.

I'm invoking a2x like this:

a2x -L -f pdf --dblatex-opts "-p asciidoc-dblatex.xsl" file.adoc

My two questions are

1) Is this the expected way of passing the custom xsl file?  I tried using 
the --xsl-file option but this didn't seem to work.  
    It feels a bit odd to need to pass the file inside another options block
.

2) How do I change the font size? More generally, why did what I tried not 
work?

Thanks,
Andrew Myers
