Hi Bob,
Thank you for the reply.Yes it is true that almost every docbook element has been styled by docbook XSL.But my this effort is to style them more using css.I feel that most of the docbook elements can further be styled so that the output of docbook will be a more clear and nice one.As an examples
<title> elements in different classes can further be styled
we can style <title> and <subtitle> in different ways to show their difference
<sec1>,<sec2>,<sec3>,etc.. can be further styled
<caption> element can be styled differently
<code> elements can be further styled as well.
I have not tested many docbook XMLs.I think there can be more elements that can be styled further.
Thank you
Sanjaya

Hi,
I'm not sure how useful this exercise is.
I will put forth the proposition that all DocBook
elements except some metadata elements in info are already styled by DocBook
XSL. Metadata elements are not automatically styled because metadata is used for
different purposes by different people. Any elements outside of info that
are not styled should be in the list of bug reports on the DocBook SourceForge
site. At the moment, I don't think there are any reports of that
nature.
Also, the DocBook XSL stylesheets already have a
template that flags any elements that it encounters for which it otherwise has
no template. See the template in fo/docbook.xsl starting
with:
<xsl:template match="*">
...
That template will be applied by the XSLT
processor when no other template matches an element in the document. It
issues an error message and inserts a copy of the element tags in red in the
output.
Have you seen any DocBook elements that are not
styled?

Subject: [docbook-apps] Does dockbook.xsl
covers the whole?
Hi dev,
I am trying to find the elements
of docbook xmls which haven't styled by including docbbok.xsl in my
test.xsl.Does it enough to see any kind of styling for any kind of element in
the xml or are there any other xsl files that I must include to see different
kind of styling for any other element?Also where can I find some sample
docbook xmls which include most of possible elements in it?Thank you very
much.
