I don't think putting a section after an appendix is valid DocBook, for
either book or article. The stylesheet does not take the time to validate
the input, but they are written on the assumption that the content is valid.
Because they are template driven, invalid content may work, but it is risky.
Is this a book or an article document?
Also, is this for print or html output?
For print output, there are three attribute-sets that can be customized for
your purposes:
revhistory.table.properties
revhistory.title.properties
revhistory.table.cell.properties

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