Hi Sanjaya,
OK, can you clarify where you are applying the
CSS? Is it your intention to style the XML source directly using CSS, or
to use CSS to style the HTML output from DocBook XSL? When you say
"further styled", I presume you mean the HTML.

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?

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.
