Well, having done some more testing I can answer my own question......

(partially if not totally)



I'd assumed that the stylesheets automatically put any appendices after all 
sections.  I now find this is not so.  If I have a <section> in my source after 
the <appendix> then it gets rendered after the appendix.

So if I put my Revision History (or two of them) into this section it gets 
rendered there.



So that part of the question is answered.



What I now need to do is work out how to control the rendering.  I want it to 
be a table with visible borders whereas the default has the borders not 
visible.  Also I'll want a coloured heading line (which I will for other tables 
in the document as well).



Also the "Appendix" heading is indented compared to the "Section" headings.





Eventually,

Richard.

Subject: [docbook-apps] Creating a separate section/component for Revision 
History




Team,



I've successfully removed the Revision History from the title-page of my 
document (ie from the title-page of the FO transform) - that was 
straightforward.

I'd like to add it back as a separate section (*) later in the file - probably 
between the appendix (which is rarely present) and the index (which is never 
present).



Can anyone advise me where in the stylesheets I need to add my new section ?

I'm expecting to see somewhere the current main structure - ie title-page, ToC, 
section 1 ... section n, Appendices, Index.  I'd expect to be adding something 
in there.

There will probably be a pile of other stuff needed to make this work.

It may be that I just need to write a 'section' and mark it for special 
handling, then customize a version of the section template to be called between 
the appendix and the index.  This may be simpler.  But I still need to find out 
where to get it called.

Actually, since I'll generally need two revision histories, writing it into a 
separate Section page may also make it easier



Appreciatively,

Richard.





(*) I've said 'section' here but that has a specific meaning.  I think what I 
mean here is what is sometimes referred to as a 'component'.
