Re: [docbook-apps] Another (hopefully) simple question: Table of Contents

["Bob Stayton" <bobs at sagehill dot net>]

The best place to customize entries in the printed table of contents is by
customizing the template named 'toc.line' in fo/autotoc.xsl.  That template
is called once for each entry in the TOC to create the fo:block that formats
that line.  You can add a color="#RRGGBB" property (substitute your
hexadecimal RGB values for your purple color) to the block.

You can do all kinds of customization of your printed TOC with this
template.  The $node parameter in the template is the element whose TOC
entry is being created. So you can format each kind of entry (chapter,
section, etc.) differently by using a choose statement like this:

<xsl:choose>
  <xsl:when test="$node/self::chapter">
    <!-- format a chapter entry -->
  </xsl:when>
  etc.
