Re: change the color of a paragrapfh

David is right. Role is usually a better attribute for this. I believe
Bob's most excellent book (http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/)
discusses this.

Here is a snippet from a customization layer I'm using.  It customizes
the fo translation. The xsl:import should point to the location of your
docbook xsl fo stylesheet.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
    xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format"
xmlns:d="http://docbook.org/ns/docbook"
    version="1.0">

    <xsl:import
href="/opt/local/share/oxygen/frameworks/docbook/xsl/fo/docbook.xsl"/>

    <xsl:template match="para[@role = 'scope']">
        <fo:block xsl:use-attribute-sets="normal.para.spacing">
            <xsl:call-template name="anchor"/>
            <fo:inline color="#0099FF">
                <xsl:apply-templates/>
            </fo:inline>
        </fo:block>
    </xsl:template>


</xsl:stylesheet>

Note the best approach for html is to use a css stylesheet to tag off
the role. The docbook stylesheets will cause the value of "role" to be a
"class". Here is a snip from the stylesheet I'm using.

.scope {
    font-style: italic;
    color: #B40000;
}

Anything with a role="scope" will be red on the html page. You can
specify the name of your stylesheet with the "html.stylesheet" parameter
when you do the xslt transform.

This is from
http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/Parameters.html#ParameterSyntax

xsltproc  --output myfile.html  \
  *--stringparam  html.stylesheet "corpstyle.css"*  \
  docbook.xsl  myfile.xml
