Anagha,
The code you included below has a few problems:
- I wouldn't combine the itemizedlist and parlist templates;
Rather, I'd copy the itemizedlist template and turn it into
a separate parlist template.
- Then, you can replace matches for listitem with matches
for paritem and not worry about adding matches inside that
template.
- You need to copy and modify the template that matches
itemizedlist/listitem to match parlist/paritem.
One thought: If you're doing this to learn more about the docbook
stylesheets and XSL, then this is a good exercise. But if your
purpose is simply to get a parameter list, you may want to consider
a different approach that is MUCH easier.
Why not just use the existing <parameter> element inside the list,
like this:
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para><parameter>parameter 1</parameter></para>
</listitem>
more listitems ...
</itemizedlist>
That will render without any customization of DocBook or the
stylesheets. Then, if you want parameters to look different,
you can customize the <parameter> element in your xsl, which
is much easier than adding a new list element.

Subject: [docbook-apps] Creating customized "itemizedlist" ...
Hello Folks,
I am trying to add a parameter list, which will have a list of
parameters.
I added new element parlist by duplicating the existing element
"itemizedlist" and I added, as it's member, an element "paritem"
(duplicated the existing element "listitem"). I have created a
customized the XSL in order to see these newly-added elements in the
PDF. However, the "paritem" elements do no appear in the PDF, they
appear as XML fragments.
Do I need some more customizations in the XSL? Please advise.
Thank you,
Anagha
