XSL stylesheets. It is available in the following formats:
HTML,
PDF,
plain text
This is primarily documentation on the parameters and processing instructions you can use
to control the behavior of the stylesheets.
This is purely reference documentation – not how-to
documentation. For a thorough step-by-step how-to guide to
publishing content using the DocBook XSL stylesheets, see
Bob Stayton’s DocBook XSL: The Complete Guide, available online

Slides Parameter ReferenceThis is reference documentation for all
user-configurable parameters in the DocBook XSL Slides
stylesheets (for generating HTML and PDF slide
presentations).The Slides stylesheet for HTML output is a
customization layer of the DocBook XSL HTML
stylesheet; the Slides stylesheet for FO output is a
customization layer of the DocBook XSL FO stylesheet.
Therefore, in addition to the slides-specific
parameters listed in this section, you can also use a
number of HTML stylesheet
parameters and FO
stylesheet parameters to control Slides
output.DocBook XSL Stylesheets User Reference: PIsThis is generated reference documentation for all
user-specifiable processing instructions in the DocBook
XSL stylesheets.
You add these PIs at particular points in a document to
cause specific “exceptions” to formatting/output behavior. To
make global changes in formatting/output behavior across an
entire document, it’s better to do it by setting an
appropriate stylesheet parameter (if there is one).DocBook XSL Stylesheets Developer ReferenceThis is technical reference documentation for
developers using the DocBook XSL Stylesheets. It is not
intended to be user documentation, but is instead
provided for developers writing customization layers for
the stylesheets.Common Template ReferenceThis is technical reference documentation for the
“base”, “refentry”, and “utility” sets of common
templates in the DocBook XSL Stylesheets. These
templates are “common” in that they are shared across
output formats (that is, they’re not
output-format-dependent)This documentation is not intended to be user
documentation. It is provided for developers writing
customization layers for the stylesheets.
