 I would rather suggest you to use CSS to handle this little layout
 problem in your generated HTML. This is CSS purpose to just do that.
 
 For example in a file called style.css
 ---
 body {
 margin: 1.1em 2em 5em 2em;
 }
 
 h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6 {
 /* Augmenting the space on top of headers */
 /* of an amount of 1/2 the orginal margin. */
 margin-top: 1.5em;
 }
 
 .sect1, .sect2 {
 /* Augmenting the space on top of headers */
 /* of an amount of 1/2 the orginal margin. */
 margin-top: 2em;
 }
 
 .question {
 font-weight: bold;
 }
 
 .answer {
 margin-left: 2em;
 margin-bottom: 3em;
 }
 ---
 
 And (if you use DSSSL) insert the following in your DSSSL stylesheet :
 
 xsl:param name=html.stylesheetstyle.css/xsl:param
 
 or (if you use XSL) that in your XSL stylesheet :
 
 (define %stylesheet%
 style.css)

Can't read French but it looks very nice!

DOCBOOK-APPS: Modifying Qandaset Style in XSL

2001-07-26 Thread Jeff McKenna 


Hello,

I have a document with several Q and As and I am using QandASet;
however I am unhappy with the way the Q and As are so bunched together
in the html - no change in font or colour whatsoever.  I need a way to
at least make the words in the question all bold, or a way to change the
background colour of the cell containing the question so the questions
stand out more.  I am a rookie in modifying XSL files, I've looked at
qandaset.xsl but I have no clue where or how to start.  Thanks in
advance for the help.

Jeff
