How to decrease font in the code examples

Hello to everyone,

I am trying to decrease the font size of the examples.

    <para>
      <example>
        <title>My First Example</title>
        <programlisting>
        <![CDATA[
          <root>
             <child id="123"/>
          </root>
       ]]>
      </programlisting>
      </example>
    </para>


Is there a way to specify it somewhere? The problem is, I
have a big xml 
document,  that actually occupies the hole page.
Therefore I want to decrease the font of the example.

Thanks for any help

Markus

Use CSS (assuming html output).

Use a role attribute on the element,
then CSS to Style the output.

The attribute-set named 'monospace.verbatim.properties' lets
you set 
properties on all programlisting elements.  See this
reference:

http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/Program
Listings.html#ReduceFontSize

If you only want to change the size when a programlisting is
within an 
example element, then you would need to use an xsl:choose
statement within 
the font-size attribute setting, as shown in the example
(but you would use 
a different test, testing for ancestor::example).

Thanks a lot.

So one short question arises me when reading the reference.
If I understand it correctly, it is also possible to
emphasize some tags 
inside a programlisting;
This means for instance, if I want in the output the element
child (and 
only that element) to be bold  I have to do something like
that:

<programlisting>**
 <![CDATA[
  <root>    
**    <?db-emphasised ****db-font-weight****
**font-weight="bold"**>**
    <child id="123"/>
  </root>
 ]]>
</programlisting>


<xsl:attribute-set
name="monospace.verbatim.properties">
  <xsl:attribute name="font-weight">
    <xsl:choose>
      *<xsl:when
test="processing-instruction('*****db-font-weight*****'
)">
        <xsl:value-of
select="processing-instruction('*****db-font-weight****
*')"/>
      </xsl:when>
      <xsl:otherwise>inherit</xsl:otherwise>*
    </xsl:choose>
  </xsl:attribute>
</xsl:attribute-set>

thanks

Markus

Sorry for the bad code format.
now I correct it.

<programlisting>
<![CDATA[
 <root>    <?db-font-weight="bold"?>
   <child id="123"/>
 </root>
]]>
</programlisting>


<xsl:attribute-set
name="monospace.verbatim.properties">
 <xsl:attribute name="font-weight">
   <xsl:choose>
      <xsl:when
test="processing-instruction('db-font-weight')">
;
       <xsl:value-of
select="processing-instruction('db-font-weight')"/
>
      </xsl:when>
     <xsl:otherwise>inherit</xsl:otherwise>
   </xsl:choose>
 </xsl:attribute>
</xsl:attribute-set>

Well, no.  The processing instruction would be applied to
the whole 
programlisting, because that is the level at which the
attribute-set is 
applied.  In any case, I believe any markup inside CDATA
would not be 
recognized in an XPath select statement.

If you want to emphasize only certain content, then I don't
think you can 
use CDATA.  You could remove the CDATA and replace
"<" with "&lt;", then 
you could wrap any words in <emphasis
role="strong"> to make it bold.

If you just want to
