I have to reproduce some documents that don't necessarily make any
sense from a consistent style viewpoint. Is there anything like docbook but that allows one to include style information right in the main document. It should produce xml fo. e.g. <para><bold>This</bold> appears in bold.</para> Thanks. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: docbook-unsubscribe@...

Yes:
<para><emphasis role="bold">This</emphasis> appears in bold.</para> You can also do role="underline" and role="strikethrough" (or customize the template <xsl:template match="emphasis"> in inline.xsl if you need more).

Thanks (and also thanks to Marvin).
Does there exist such a stylesheet as you mention already available off-the-shelf with all the style elements such as bold, underline, italics, colors, fonts, font sizes, etc. already built in and not just italics, bold and strikethrough? Surely I can't be the first person with this problem.

Well, bold and strong are supported, and the default formatting for
emphasis is italic (or em). There is also documentation for how to customize this further. See Bob Stayton's excellent DocBook XSL book: http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/CustomInlines.html http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/UsingCSS.html Fonts are handled differently: http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/PrintCustomEx.html#RootProperties http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/AddFont.html#ConfigureFonts Best regards, --Scott Hudson Senior XML Architect http://www.flatironssolutions.com A.

Thanks. I own Stayton's book and it was after reading the relevant
sections that I thought I would ask if anyone has already prepared a stylesheet with the indicated functionality. If the answer is no then certainly I will look into those sections more but am still hoping it exists.

A point to consider: one of the benefits of using DocBook is that you can mark up your content semantically. So instead of doing <b>error.log</b> you can do <filename>error.log</filname>. That way, when, as often happens, your company is bought by some larger company and it turns out that the style at the new company is to make filenames monospace, you can just change your customization layer and have the old content immediately have the formatting of the new company. I only use the emphasis element when I <emphasis>really</emphasis> want to emphasize some point. Otherwise, I try to use something more semantic.
