Re: [docbook-apps] * propogates style

Hi Mark,
This isn't a way to implement your custom class names, but rather a way to 
use the default class names to accomplish your purpose.

Take a closer look at the div tags surrounding the h2 elements.  You'll 
find that the div class attributes express the element names that created 
the h2, as well as a "titlepage" class.   By choosing the right combination 
of div.class selectors, you can control the formatting pretty closely.  So 
these two CSS selectors differentiate the titles:

div.article div.titlepage h2

div.section div.titlepage h2
