OK - I found a solution myself. I don't know if this is the best way to do it, but it works fine for me.
In case somebody is interested in my solution, here it is:
Change the customization layer for the chapter and section titles as follows:
<l:i18n xmlns:l="http://docbook.sourceforge.net/xmlns/l10n/1.0">
<l:l10n language="de">
<l:context name="title-numbered">
<l:template name="chapter" text="%n|%t"/>
<l:template name="sect1" text="%n|%t"/>
<l:template name="sect2" text="%n|%t"/>
</l:context>
</l:l10n>
</l:i18n>
This adds a pipe character as a separator between the chapter or section number and the text.
Copy the template "component.title" to the customization layer stylesheet and modify the end of this template as follows:
<xsl:otherwise>
<fo:inline>
<xsl:copy-of select="substring-before($title,'|')"/>
</fo:inline>
<fo:inline space-start="15mm">
<xsl:copy-of select="substring-after($title,'|')"/>
</fo:inline>
</xsl:otherwise>
Copy the template "section.heading" to the customization layer stylesheet and modify as follows:
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="$level=1">
<fo:block xsl:use-attribute-sets="section.title.level1.properties">
<fo:inline>
<xsl:copy-of select="substring-before($title,'|')"/>
</fo:inline>
<fo:inline space-start="11.5mm">
<xsl:copy-of select="substring-after($title,'|')"/>
</fo:inline>
</fo:block>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="$level=2">
<fo:block xsl:use-attribute-sets="section.title.level2.properties">
<fo:inline>
<xsl:copy-of select="substring-before($title,'|')"/>
</fo:inline>
<fo:inline space-start="10mm">
<xsl:copy-of select="substring-after($title,'|')"/>
</fo:inline>
</fo:block>
</xsl:when>
Yes, the space between the number and the text is hard-coded and this will break, if the font sizes for chapter and section titles are changed.
A better solution would be to position the title text relative to the left border of the page. But I don't know how to do this.
