    We don't all have a copy of 'page xxx'.
    Would you paste your customization here please?

    Sorry Dave, I thought getting the "DocBOkk XSl" book was a fundamental

    Sorry, I should've made reference to the appropriate section of the HTML

    The "class.value" mode works when the element in question calls the
    "class.attribute" mode when it is forming its HTML output. Unfortunately,
    formalpara/title does not. Instead, it hardcodes . So you would need to
    customize the template in html/block.xsl that starts with:

    <xsl:template match="formalpara/title|formalpara/info/title">

    to output a instead, and add the mode="class.attribute" call to the
    span.
