Re: [LARTC] DocBook testing

Hi Togan et al,

As for the customized dsssl style sheets, I can't since they are located at home. However, I don't even know if this is where I should do the changes. I assume that I was looking at the correct files since you asked me to send them over to you. 

Anyways, what I am trying to do is simply to change fonts and font sizes etcetera used within documents created with DocBook. For example, how do one change the default font to (just grabbing something out of the air) Courier New? Is it correct to do the changes directly within the system wide dsssl stylesheets, or is it possible to change it only within a separate document? How? I'm still quite new to the whole concept of docbook, and I definitely know this is the wrong place to ask, but since the thread was already open... 

Also, as for the recommendation of the book, I would personally still recommend it, because I believe it is one of the most complete books available at all for DocBook. Also, it contains a great reference for reading offline. Anyways, you may be right that it is "old", however it gives a good explanation of the basics in DocBook, and it has helped me out a lot. Secondly, heck, I would be willing to support anyone who has written an documentation this large, and publishes it as "open source". 

Have a nice day,

Oskar Andreasson

I've spent some 2 days or so trying to figure it out, and so far I only think it should be done via the DSSSL style sheets however it doesn't work when I do it;). by the by, www.docbook.org is an excellent reference and I definitely recommend buying the book(also available online at the site) which contains a huge and extremely well written reference section to every tag available in docbook v 3.1.
