Re: [docbook-apps] Fop customizations: bookmarks, toc, chapter titles

I don't know much about docbook but in xslt it is sufficient if you copy
only the templates you want to overwrite. Important is that you have an
import (<xsl:import) of the xslt-file you want to overwrite.
If you only like to add some stuff to a template you can furthermore
import the content of the source.
Example:
You want add some stuff to a template called bla. Then you could do
something like
<xsl:template match="bla">
your stuff
<xsl:apply-imports/>
</xsl:template>

I'm not using fo. The result was not acceptable for me.
You should take a look at the db2latex Stylesheets. They convert your
docbook-code to latex which you can convert with pdf2latex to PDF. The
result is quite good and it is easy to  customise.
