OK, so the <body_text> thing was a separate issue relating to a missing XSL template in your customization, so I presume you fixed that.
Regarding the CSS, the Oxygen editor has its own CSS for displaying editable DocBook XML in the editor. That CSS has selectors that match docbook element names as in your example. Those CSS styles are only used in Oxygen, and do not propagate out to the HTML in any way. This can be considered a good feature, because it allows you to define styles that are useful for editing purposes that are independent of the final output formats. Those CSS styles will not work with HTML output, because the selectors match on DocBook element names, not HTML element names. You need another CSS file if you want to style the HTML output. The DocBook XSL stylesheets support generating a CSS file during processing, deriving the styles from an XML file that contains a <style> element whose content is the CSS text you want in the CSS file. The <style> element is there only to make the input file a well-formed XML file that can be processed with XSLT (since a CSS text file cannot be). The stylesheet then generates a CSS text file from that input file. See the reference pages for these params for more details: 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 Bob Stayton Sagehill Enterprises [email protected] ----- Original Message ----- From: [email protected] To: Bob Stayton ; [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, February 01, 2012 6:27 AM Subject: Re: [docbook-apps] Oxygen XML Editor: Docbook XML to HTML using CSS Hello Bob, the error message you mentioned and the code you have stated is correct. As an example: chapter>sect1>title, sect1>sect2>title, sect2>sect3>title, chapter>title { font-size: 16pt; text-align: left; font-weight: bold; padding-bottom: 24pt; } As you can see we re-defined some default styles in our custom css stylesheet, the question is if we have to re-define them as well inside our custom xsl stylesheet for creating HTML in our custom style. If so, do we need a css stylesheet at all or is it simply for the display in our Editor ( Oxygen).

You say you are generating HTML output, but your example in red is not an HTML output element, and you show the element markup itself as being displayed in the browser in red. I suspect this is displaying an error-flagging feature of the DocBook XSL stylesheet. When the stylesheet encounters an input element it does not recognize, it generates an error message along the lines of: Element body_text in namespace '' encountered in chapter, but no template matches. and then outputs the element as escaped markup in red, with the intent of making it visible so it can be fixed: <span style="color: red"><body_text>test</body_text></span> Can you peek inside your HTML and see if that is what you are getting? If so, then your customization layer needs to add a template with match="body_text" to process that element.

The problems seems to be that Oxygen in a way is blocking our CSS stylesheet, since it is obviously recognized by the XSL stylesheet: <xsl:template name="user.head.content"> <style type="text/css"> &css; </style> </xsl:template> The code staed above is working out pretty fine, but still the result we we see is not what we configured. As a consequence, the ouput is not what it should be. Instead applying what was specified: body_text{ font-family: Ariel; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 100%; text-align: left; padding-bottom: 12pt; } the result is <body_text>test</body_text> . It is red instead of black. Can anyone give me a hint what the problem is? Have I configured Oxygen incorrectly or is it the XSL Stylesheet. Thanks!
