Hi Robert,
No, you are not missing something obvious, it is harder than it should be. Although
there is a gentext entry for step in context="title", it is not used by the
stylesheets. Instead, the step number is generated using its own template in
common/common.xsl that starts with:
<xsl:template match="step" mode="number">
You could add your own call to the gentext templates there.
However, it also turns out that the indent for procedure steps is hard coded in the
template with match="procedure" in fo/lists.xsl:
<fo:list-block xsl:use-attribute-sets="list.block.spacing"
provisional-distance-between-starts="2em"
provisional-label-separation="0.2em">
So you will have to customize that template as well in order to change the
provisional-distance-between-starts property to make space for "Step". That indent
should be a parameter, as it is for other list elements.

Subject: [docbook-apps] Customizing procedure steps
Hi,
I would like my procedure steps to start with "Step %n." instead of "%n."
I thought this would be a simple gentext customization, but either it's more
complicated, or I am missing something totally obvious.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Robert Fekete
