[moving this over to the docbook-apps mailing list where stylesheet issues are discussed]

Hi Andreas,
Welcome to DocBook. Since you are new, you would not have known that the docbook mailing list is for discussion of elements and schemas, and the docbook-apps list is for stylesheet and other application issues. I would suggest you subscribe to both.

I publish a book on customizing DocBook XSL, and you can access it for free in HTML form at:

http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/

In particular, you want to look at how to create a stylesheet customization layer at:

http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/CustomMethods.html#CustomizationLayer

That will explain that you don't need to edit the original stylesheet files to customize.

Regarding your specific questions:

- The running page headers are already as wide as the page, within the margins. Can you provide more details of what you want?

- You don't need to include a <toc/> element, as a toc can be generated automatically. See the stylesheet parameter named "generate.toc" in the index of my book.

- Regarding chapter titles, there is a section in my book on customizing them:

http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/TitleFontSizes.html#ChapterTitles

Hope this helps.

Subject: [docbook] problem with customizing header


Hello list,

I am totally new to DocBook and have some questions about formatting
several parameters.
My questions are, I hope, really simple:

- I try to customize the header. The header should be as wide as the page.
- the toc is shown twice => I included <toc/> after the <set> element
- I need to remove the word "Chapter"for every <chapter> element in the
instance document

Is it right, that I change everything concerning the docbook under
/frameworks/docbook/xsl/params ?

Thanks so much,

Andreas
