Hi Sanjaya,
OK, can you clarify where you are applying the CSS?  Is it your intention to 
style the XML source directly using CSS, or to use CSS to style the HTML output 
from DocBook XSL?  When you say "further styled", I presume you mean the HTML.

  Hi Bob,
      Thank you for the reply.Yes it is true that almost every docbook element 
has been styled by docbook XSL.But my this effort is to style them more using 
css.I feel that most of the docbook elements can further be styled so that the 
output of docbook will be a more clear and nice one.As an examples

    a..  <title> elements in different classes can further be styled
    a..  we can style <title> and <subtitle> in different ways to show their 
difference
    a.. <sec1>,<sec2>,<sec3>,etc.. can be further styled  
    b.. <caption> element can be styled differently
    c.. <code> elements can be further styled as well.
  I have not tested many docbook XMLs.I think there can be more elements that 
can be styled further.

  Thank you
  Sanjaya

    Hi,
    I'm not sure how useful this exercise is. I will put forth the proposition 
that all DocBook elements except some metadata elements in info are already 
styled by DocBook XSL. Metadata elements are not automatically styled because 
metadata is used for different purposes by different people.  Any elements 
outside of info that are not styled should be in the list of bug reports on the 
DocBook SourceForge site.  At the moment, I don't think there are any reports 
of that nature.

    Also, the DocBook XSL stylesheets already have a template that flags any 
elements that it encounters for which it otherwise has no template.  See the 
template in fo/docbook.xsl starting with:

    <xsl:template match="*">
      ...

    That template will be applied by the XSLT processor when no other template 
matches an element in the document. It issues an error message and inserts a 
copy of the element tags in red in the output.

    Have you seen any DocBook elements that are not styled?

      Hi dev,
          I am trying to find the elements of docbook xmls which haven't styled 
by including docbbok.xsl in my test.xsl.Does it enough to see any kind of 
styling for any kind of element in the xml or are there any other xsl files 
that I must include to see different kind of styling for any other element?Also 
where can I find some sample docbook xmls which include most of possible 
elements in it?Thank you very much.
