Re: DOCBOOK: docbook cosmetics

["G.L. Grobe" <gary at grobe dot net>]

I've seen the docbook.css that is added to the directory to where all my
htmls are generated (though how it gets there I'm not sure and also not sure
where it comes from as I've got them all over my system).
So by adding a line like:
<xsl:param name="html.stylesheet">mybook.css</xsl:param>
I can override the docbook.css and use the properties I write in the file
mybook.css? Is that all there is to it?
I'm not exactly clear on XSL customization layers so thats part of my reason
for asking.

Thanxs in advance.
