Bob: Thank you so much for the reply. This is exactly what I was looking for. I never thought to use a choose within an attribute set! Now this not only solved my one issue, but has given me a tool that I can use for other issues.

Hi, An attribute-set's attributes are evaluated for each instance of it being applied, so you can add xsl:choose to the body of xsl:attribute. You just need to make sure each case returns a valid value so you don't get empty attributes, something like this: <xsl:attribute-set name="section.level1.properties"> <xsl:attribute name="break-before"> <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="@role = 'nobrk'">auto</xsl:when> <xsl:otherwise>page</xsl:otherwise> </xsl:choose> </xsl:attribute> </xsl:attribute-set> You cannot have it skip the attribute, but you can change its value to the default "auto" Bob Stayton Sagehill Enterprises [email protected] ----- Original Message ----- From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, June 23, 2011 10:57 AM Subject: [docbook-apps] Attribute set override. I have a situation where I have an attribute-set in my fo custom layer. <xsl:attribute-set name="section.level1.properties"> <xsl:attribute name="break-before">page</xsl:attribute> </xsl:attribute-set> Now the situation is a need to override this behavior in certain instances. I have added an attribute to certain sect1 elements, role="nobrk" where I want to override this behavior. My question is how do go about setting up the stylesheets to skip or ignore the break-before attribute for the certain elements designated as nobrk. I am guessing something like : <xsl:template match="sect1[@role='nobrk']"> <fo:block xsl:use-attribute-sets="section.level1.properties"> ... but am stumped as to how to get it to ignore the break-before override? Any suggestions would be most welcome! Thanks! /Gregorio
