RE: [docbook-apps] Styling PDF output

Bob,

Thanks for point me in the right direction. The 
body.start.indent will do most of what I want. I would like the simplesect 
titles and bridgeheads to float in the gap between the margin and the start of 
the text. From reading your book, it looks like I need to add a template for 
simplesect.titlepage to the customization layer to make that happen. Is this 
correct?

Cheers,

Eric

Hi Eric,

  
I think the DocBook XSL stylesheets do that by 
  default.  The body.start.indent parameter indents everything, except 
  those elements with a start-indent="0pt" property.  All section heads, 
  including simplesect and bridgeheads get that property, so they are not 
  indented along with everything else.

  
 

  
Or perhaps I'm not understanding your 
  requirements.

I want to style 
    the pages in my PDF output so that the paragraph text has a left side gap. I 
    also want simplesect tiles and bridge heads to appear in 
    the gap. I'm not sure what I need to modify to make that happen. Any 
    help would be greatly appreciated.

    
Cheers,
