In line? Are you using ldp.dsl for a stylesheet? Just put this in your
stylesheet if you want finished doc to be css aware:
(define %stylesheet%
;; REFENTRY stylesheet
;; PURP Name of the stylesheet to use
;; DESC
;; The name of the stylesheet to place in the HTML LINK TAG, or '#f' to
;; suppress the stylesheet LINK.
;; /DESC
;; AUTHOR N/A
;; /REFENTRY
"my_doc.css")
(define %stylesheet-type%
;; REFENTRY stylesheet-type
;; PURP The type of the stylesheet to use
;; DESC
;; The type of the stylesheet to place in the HTML LINK TAG.
;; /DESC
;; AUTHOR N/A
;; /REFENTRY
"text/css")
(define %css-liststyle-alist%
;; REFENTRY css-liststyle-alist
;; PURP Map DocBook OVERRIDE and MARK attributes to CSS
;; DESC
;; If '%css-decoration%' is turned on then the list-style-type property of
;; list items will be set to reflect the list item style selected in the
;; DocBook instance. This associative list maps the style type names used
;; in your instance to the appropriate CSS names. If no mapping exists,
;; the name from the instance will be used.
;; /DESC
;; AUTHOR N/A
;; /REFENTRY
'(("bullet" "disc")
("box" "square")))
(define %css-decoration%
;; REFENTRY css-decoration
;; PURP Enable CSS decoration of elements
;; DESC
;; If '%css-decoration%' is turned on then HTML elements produced bythe
;; stylesheet may be decorated with STYLE attributes. For example,the
;; LI tags produced for list items may include a fragment of CSS inthe
;; STYLE attribute which sets the CSS property "list-style-type".
;; /DESC
;; AUTHOR N/A
;; /REFENTRY

Well, I think the whole idea behind docbook is *content* and not the
finished look. That is up to the stylesheets and presentation vehicle.

These are not simple people :)
