Re: [docbook-apps] Formatting section titles in an appendix

I hadn't thought of that approach, but simplesect actually should meet our needs. That's probably a lot easier than working out the necessary customizations. Simpleset is living up to its name!

Hi David 

Would <simplesect/> meet your requirements?

I'm running into a bit of difficulty formatting section titles within an appendix, without breaking titles in chapters. I'm attempting to format <sect1> and <sect2> children of an appendix to be different than those in chapters. Specifically

	+ Section titles in an appendix shouldn't be numbered (but the Appendix itself *should* be numbered; basically, appendixes need a different numbering depth)
	+ Section titles in an appendix need different font sizes and margins than those in chapters (i.e. different attribute set).

I'm not sure where to actually customize these things in my customization and/or titlepage spec. Assistance pointing me in the right direction (or the applicable section in the XSL guide) would be greatly appreciated.
