These are the “<span class="quote">easily customizable</span>” parts of the stylesheet. If you want to specify an alternate value for one or more of these parameters, you can do so in a “<span class="quote">driver</span>” stylesheet.</p><p>For example, if you want to change the <tt class="literal">html.stylesheet</tt> to <tt class="filename">reference.css</tt>, you might create a driver stylesheet like this:</p><pre class="programlisting"><xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version='1.0'> <xsl:import href="http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/snapshot/html/docbook.xsl"/> <xsl:param name="html.stylesheet">reference.css</xsl:param> </xsl:stylesheet></pre><p>Naturally, you have to change the <tt class="sgmltag-attribute">href</tt> attribute on <tt class="literal"><xsl:import></tt> to point to <tt class="filename">docbook.xsl</tt> on your system. (Or <tt class="filename">chunk.xsl</tt>, if you're using chunking.)</p><p>This is not intended to be “<span class="quote">user</span>” documentation. It is provided for developers writing customization layers for the stylesheets, and for anyone who's interested in “<span class="quote">how it works</span>”.</p><p>Although I am trying to be thorough, this documentation is known to be incomplete. Don't forget to read the source, too :-)</p></div><div class="navfooter"><hr><table width="100%" summary="Navigation footer"><tr><td width="40%" align="left"><a accesskey="p" href="index.html">Prev</a> </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="u" href="index.html">Up</a></td><td width="40%" align="right"> <a accesskey="n" href="rn01.html">Next</a></td></tr><tr><td width="40%" align="left" valign="top">HTML Parameter Reference </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="h" href="index.html">Home</a></td><td width="40%" align="right" valign="top"> Admonitions</td></tr></table></div></body></html>
