Hi Paul,
The third example in this section is similar to what you
need. It puts the number and title on separate lines. Just omit the
call to the gentext template to avoid the "Chapter" text.

In general, you can process an element in mode="label.markup"
to generate just its number, and in mode="title.markup" to generate just its
title. You get both when you process in
mode="object.title.markup".

Subject: [docbook-apps] Creating a chapter title page with chapter
number and title on different lines
Hello,
I'm trying to create a chapter title page (with the FO stylesheets) that's
reminiscent of some of the O'Reilly books. Something like this, say:
---
14
Troubleshooting
---
That is, chapter number, absence of the "Chapter" generated text, and then
chapter title in a new block. I've been out of the DocBook loop for a few
years, but I've done title page customisations before—with this, though, I seem
to be running around in circles through the template system. Could someone
give me the briefest outline on how to customise the output for the chapter
'title' element like this? I'm looking at the 'component.title' template
in component.xsl, but I can't see where the title text itself is being generated
('<xsl:apply-templates select="$node" mode="object.title.markup">'?), or
how I would go about customising it very specifically like this just for
chapters.
