Anyway… if you’re converting a Docbook document to HTML, and want customized classes on elements (so you can hit them with CSS), first create a custom XSL style<\/a> for the document (and use with xmlto -m<\/code>).<\/p>\n

Then suppose you have <code language=\"html\"><\/code> in the Docbook and want that to have classes html<\/code> and xml<\/code> to hold on to in the resulting HTML. Add this:<\/p>\n

<xsl:template match=\"code[@language = 'html']\" mode=\"class.value\">
html xml
<\/xsl:template><\/code><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The match<\/code> can be any XSL matching pattern. The contents can also be a <xsl:value-of><\/code> if you want to do something more advanced.<\/p>\n

Maybe it’s because I’m an XSL newb, but I haven’t seen this explained nicely anywhere else.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
