What is good CSS stylesheet for docbook "book?

[rajpatel5901]

I am righting a docbook "book". Some of the fonts are not looking good and would like to enhance the fonts. I learned that I could use CSS for enhancing fonts output in html. I am trying to see if someone has gone thru the experience and have used a good CSS stylesheet file. I would like to get a copy of the CSS stylesheet if possible. Or point me to good location where I can get a good CSS file.

Thanks,
Raj

Why not create your own based upon your requirements? I can't believe that every CSS file out there is going to be exactly what you want, font-wise.

Do you know how to create a CSS file? Do you know what the syntax is like? Do you know the font-related properties you can set? If so, you should be set.

Hope this helps,
Dan

I don't know CSS. I was just trying to see if some had an experience with writing an docbook "book" and had applied certain CSS. It looks like I will have to learn the CSS and write as per my needs. The docbook "book" style is for writing a book and CSS style for that would be a good help.

Thanks,

DocBook schema has several templates such as book, article, chapter, section etc. These are specific templates. Since I am writing a book, I am using book template.

Ahh I see, it's an XML thing.

From the very quick bit of research I have just done I think that what you are asking is outside the scope of this particular forum.

I'm not sure if there is a dedicated DocBook forum on Tek-tips. You may even get better answers in an XML forum.

If you already have some understanding of the format then I'm sure with some Googling that you can come up with what you need.
I just put "DocBook sample stylesheet" into Google and got quite a few results that I think would be helpful to you.
