RE: DOCBOOK-APPS: Customizing XSL-FO for IEEE style articles

[David Cramer <david_cramer at broadjump dot com>]

You want to use Norm Walsh's xsl stylesheets
<http://sourceforge.net/projects/docbook/> to transform docbook source,
right?

The answers some of those questions can be found at:

http://www.dpawson.co.uk/docbook/styling/styling.html

and

http://docbook.org/tdg/en/html/docbook.html, especially
http://docbook.org/tdg/en/html/ch04.html#xsl

Some of the items you mention are parameters and others are controlled
with the template system. See:
http://www.nwalsh.com/docs/articles/dbdesign/#selfcust 

If something is not already parameterized, you can override particular
templates to get the results you need or submit a feature request at
sourceforge. 

And when you get stuck, you can search the archives of this list or post
a question here :)
