Hi Lars, You can restore the former behavior by setting $html.stylesheet to your pathname and setting $docbook.css.source to empty.
Regarding your objections, I get around those by using XInclude. I have a standard CSS file that I include into an XML file using XInclude: <style> <xi:include href="mycustom.css" parse="text" xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude"/> </style> That way I keep all the edits in one standard CSS file, and I don't have to copy it into each output directory using a separate command. As far as I know, it is not possible for an XSL stylesheet to open a plain text file like a CSS file.

I see the following issues: 1.) Standard CSS editors cannot edit the file 2.) Duplicate the content of the CSS file 3.) Usage of a a non-standard format for my CSS file. 4.) Re-use difficult. As I re-used the same CSS file for non DocBook based articles I would have to maintain 2 version of the file. Would it be possible to use a standard css file? I generate the articles for my webpage from Docbook and all articles are pointing to a central CSS file. The "html.stylesheet" parameter was great for that. Best regards, Lars 2011/9/20 Bob Stayton <[email protected]> Hi Lars, Ah, I should have mentioned in the README about the changes for CSS. The 1.76.1 stylesheets added the capability of making cleaner HTML and generating one or two CSS files when chunking. That avoids the need for copying the CSS file into place after building the HTML. Because HTML5 pretty much needs the clean HTML and CSS, I turned on that feature for the xhtml5 stylesheets. See these three params for a description of how to make cleaner HTML with CSS for styling: http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/doc/html/make.clean.html.html http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/doc/html/docbook.css.source.html http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/doc/html/custom.css.source.html I'll put this in the next README Bob Stayton Sagehill Enterprises [email protected] ----- Original Message ----- From: Lars Vogel To: DocBook Apps Sent: Monday, September 19, 2011 2:59 PM Subject: [docbook-apps] "html.stylesheet" parameter in the xhtml5 Stylesheets Hi, the "html.stylesheet" parameter seem not to be working xhtml5. >From the output: [xslt] Writing docbook.css for article The output file also contains a reference to docbook.css. If I replace the xhtml5 with the html stylesheets the correct css file is used in the resulting html file. Is there anything I'm doing wrong?
