That worked a treat, thanks. I had googled customising cross references and wasn't paying enough attention to where I landed. Will in future.
Thanks.

Hi,
The book at xml.web.cern.ch is the early first draft of my book DocBook XSL: The Complete Guide. The cern version is quite out of date.
Please use this 4th Edition instead:
http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/index.html
I have asked Cern to take down that version, but have not reached the right person, I guess.
Regarding your question, are you using DocBook 4 or 5? If 5, then your templates need to include the DocBook namespace on element names, such as d:book. See this page for more information:

I've looked into this further, and I have managed to customise the xref
text using the gentext templates. My next question is how do I format the
xreftext?
I've read and tried to implement the Customising Cross Reference Style
section from:
http://xml.web.cern.ch/XML/www.sagehill.net/xml/docbookxsl/GeneralCustoms.html
by adding the following template to my FO customisation layer:
<xsl:template match="book" mode="insert.title.markup">
<xsl:param name="purpose"/>
<xsl:param name="xrefstyle"/>
<xsl:param name="title"/>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="$purpose = 'xref'">
<fo:inline font-style="italic">
<xsl:copy-of select="$title"/>
</fo:inline>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:copy-of select="$title"/>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
but this template does not seem to be having any effect. Any tips as to
what I am doing wrong here?
I can see that the chapter and appendix xreftext are italicized (from the
standard templates in xref.xsl), but I can't get the same thing to happen
for the book elements.

Hi,
I'm trying to link between books (without hot-links).
The text that is generated for everything but the top-level books is fine.
It renders Refer to <olink targetdoc="bookDocId" targetptr="section"/> as
Refer to Section x,y, "Title" in Book Title.
But when I olink to the book itself: Refer to <olink targetdoc="bookDocId"
targetptr="bookId"> there is no fo:inline element, it just renders the book
title: Refer to Book Title.
Is there some configuration or customisation that I can do to get this to
render as something like Refer to Document "Book Title".
I'm using docbkx 2.0.15 which uses version 1.78.1 of the stylesheets.
Nat
