Thanks to XML Mind, I've done a good job* of rescuing content from a
huge, poorly-structured developer wiki with no hard-copy output option

questions about layout in the pdf.
I'm found my way to "Customize document conversion stylesheets" and
created a custom stylesheet ready for adjusting, but I'm not sure
whether this will let me do what the developers are asking for: they
find that the 2pt difference in font size is not enough to help them
spot the difference between a level two heading and a level three
heading. I would like to change the size for level three headings, and I
would also like to remove the underline (text-decoration?) on
lower-level headings.
Can I make this sort of customisation through the XXE tools?
Yes, please use the "XMLmind XSL customizer" tool to customize the
relevant attribute sets.
See
http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/help/com.xmlmind.xmleditapp.app.part.ConversionStylesheetsEditor.html
all I've seen so far is references to 'sections' in the Attribute sets, and the
structure of my document is driven by the topicref levels in the
bookmap: I do not use sections within topics.
The "section" term refer to chapters and sections in the deliverable,
not in the DITA source.
When a map is used, the deliverable is given the structure of an article.
When a bookmap is used, the deliverable is given the structure of an book.
For example, in a map where:
---
<topicref href="specialized_topics.dita">
<topicref href="concept.dita">
<topicref href="samples/sample_concept.dita" toc="no"/>
</topicref>
---
* specialized_topics.dita is given the role of a section1.
* concept.dita is given the role of a section2.
* samples/sample_concept.dita is given the role of a section3.
Same example but using a bookmap:
---
<chapter href="specialized_topics.dita">
<topicref href="concept.dita">
<topicref href="samples/sample_concept.dita" toc="no"/>
</topicref>
---
* specialized_topics.dita is given the role of a chapter.
* concept.dita is given the role of a section1.
* samples/sample_concept.dita is given the role of a section2.
Therefore you may have to customize attribute-set
topic-title
For example, if you use "XMLmind XSL customizer" to add attribute
border-bottom-style="none" to attribute-set "topic-title", you'll remove
the line below topic titles whatever the role of the topic.
You may also have to customize some or all of the following
attribute-sets (which all "inherit" from attribute-set topic-title):
part-title
chapter-title
appendices-title
appendix-title
section1-title
section2-title
section3-title
section4-title
section5-title
section6-title
section7-title
section8-title
section9-title
The simplest is to take a look at the stock attribute-sets found in:
<XXE_install_dir>/addon/config/dita/xsl/fo/topic.xsl
[[[
XMLmind XSL Utility users:
<xslutil_install_dir>/addon/config/dita/xsl/fo/topic.xsl
Ditac users: <ditac_install_dir>/xsl/fo/topic.xsl
]]]
