Thanks Markus - that's precisely what I was trying to say!
Now, this bit me because I had happened to customise the 'section'
templates, which had changed a fair bit - I may have just been
unlucky in this regard, but since I was simply adding new lines, the
'diff' approach would have worked cleanly.
Of course, what would be nice is a diff <-> customization layer
conversion tool, but I'll leave that for another day. :-)
Thanks,

Quoting Dave Pawson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Confused. As you say, each time you update you lose your changes if
you modify 'docbooks' stylesheets.
A customization layer is much nicer, and re-usable.
E.g. if your directory stuff was in one stylesheet, I could
include that
before the docbook ones. Then I get mine, yours, docbooks, all in
the right priority order.
I think the problem Geraint wanted to point out is that a
customization layer does not pick up altered templates in a new
version of the stylesheets automatically. Assume you override the
rendering of element A for whatever reason, based on version 1.68,
and put that into a customization layer. Then you upgrade the
official stylesheets to 1.73 which contain a new version of the
template of element A. Thanks to your customization layer, you
still use your (modified) version of 1.68.
regards,
Markus
