FYI, with help from Nick Wood I was finally able to figure out what was wrong and get this to work. Passing along in case it helps someone else.
The main problem was that I did not specify the DocBook 5 namespace. The namespace declaration was missing from the top of the custom stylesheet, and I didn't provide the namespace when specifying the items I wanted to customize. So the "when" needed to be: <xsl:when test="self::d:chapter | self::d:preface | self::d:appendix">bold</xsl:when> On Thu, Oct 16, 2014 at 1:18 PM, Barton Wright <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Janice, > > Since some FO customizations do work and not others, the current issue has > two probable causes: > > > - The most likely cause is that there is a docbkx parameter setting, > or worse, an undeclared _default_ parameter setting, that is overriding > your custom TOC template.
