I can zip and send you a nice way of creating custom chapter headings.

The Idea is from Bob Stayton….. Maybe this is a starting point for the wiki?

I was thinking about this too. (though I'm not capable of creating anything
in the wiki) 

I made a lot of customizations here that I'm willing to contribute.

I'd really love if you could email it to me. :-) [just zip it and go, I'll
figure out how to]

 

I've been able to (finally!) make the chapter title on the corner of the
page... I have to put either 'bottom' or 'height' properties using fixed
position. It doesn't seem a good solution though since it can span multiple
lines which means is going to affect the main body flow. :( Style publishing
is much harder than I had previously thought. 

 

Replacing the default fonts with better ones (at the very least Arial
Narrow, and Garamond/Georgia) is more refreshing. And I have other fonts too
from Adobe, Linotype, ITC, ... but there's no way I would be able to embed
those into an open-source stylesheet. :-( 

 

Even the use of the "better" fonts is... well, questionable. (may require
specific OS, and stuff... sigh)

 

But seriously, in publishing, isn't typography Everything?
