# Customizing the Stylesheets

You can customize the stylesheets for your particular website by making a driver like this:

    <?xml version='1.0'?>
    <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
                    version='1.0'>

    <xsl:import href="/path/to/the/website.xsl"/>

    <!-- put your customizations here -->

    </xsl:stylesheet>

If you use the tabular style, you'll discover that the Website home page has two ugly features: "home.navhead" and "home.navhead.upperright".

In order to remove these, you have to write a custom stylesheet that puts the text (or whatever) you want on the homepage in those locations. Your stylesheet should look like this:

    <?xml version='1.0'?>
    <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
                    version='1.0'>

    <xsl:import href="/path/to/the/tabular.xsl"/>

    <!-- Replace the text in these templates with whatever you want -->
    <!-- to appear in the respective location on the home page. -->

    <xsl:template name="home.navhead">
    <xsl:text>home.navhead</xsl:text>
    </xsl:template>

    <xsl:template name="home.navhead.upperright">
    <xsl:text>home.navhead.upperright</xsl:text>
    </xsl:template>

    <!-- put your customizations here -->
    </xsl:stylesheet>
