The acronyms and spelled out forms are interpreted beautifully by your 
software. However, they are outputting as a dark purplish blue, and I would 
prefer them to be black (even though they are links). I have tried adding the 
following to my customized stylesheet (which only contains some formatting 
changes to some elements), but there is no change to the color:

     <xsl:attribute-set name="abbreviated-form">
            <xsl:attribute name="color">#000000</xsl:attribute>
            <xsl:attribute name="font-style">normal</xsl:attribute>
            <xsl:attribute name="font-weight">normal</xsl:attribute>
      </xsl:attribute-set>

This is the right way to do that.





Is it possible to change the color of these links? If so, please explain how I 
can do that.


An abbreviated-form is currently translated to XSL-FO as follows:

---
<xsl:template match="*[contains(@class,' abbrev-d/abbreviated-form ')]">
  <fo:inline xsl:use-attribute-sets="abbreviated-form">
    <xsl:call-template name="commonAttributes"/>
    <xsl:call-template name="basicLink">
      <xsl:with-param name="href" select="string(@href)"/>
    </xsl:call-template>
  </fo:inline>
</xsl:template>
---

Hence another attribute-set called "link-style" (used by template "basicLink") overrides what's specified in your "abbreviated-form" attribute-set.

1) Please keep your "abbreviated-form" attribute-set as is.

2) Use a text or XML editor to add this template to your XSL customization:

---
<xsl:template match="*[contains(@class,' abbrev-d/abbreviated-form ')]">
  <xsl:choose>
    <xsl:when test="exists(@href)">
      <fo:basic-link
        xsl:use-attribute-sets="link-style abbreviated-form">
        <xsl:call-template name="linkDestination">
          <xsl:with-param name="href" select="string(@href)"/>
        </xsl:call-template>
        <xsl:call-template name="commonAttributes"/>
        <xsl:apply-templates/>
      </fo:basic-link>
    </xsl:when>

    <xsl:otherwise>
      <fo:inline xsl:use-attribute-sets="abbreviated-form">
        <xsl:call-template name="commonAttributes"/>
        <xsl:apply-templates/>
      </fo:inline>
    </xsl:otherwise>
  </xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
---

We'll try to improve this in the next version of XMLmind DITA Converter. (The same customization issue exists for element <term>.)
